We live in a golden age of TV, and a lot of it is thanks to the streaming services – from the veterans like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, to the newbies like Disney+ and Apple TV+, and even speciality streamers like Shudder and BritBox – we’re spoiled for choice.
But if you add all these services up, things can get expensive. Thankfully, most streaming services constantly offer deals, discounts and free trials – so you can always find a bargain.
To help you save money AND watch excellent TV, I’ll collect the best TV deals out there, for both streaming services and relevant devices. This list will be updated periodically – so make sure you bookmark this page (And sharing on social media is always appreciated).

NordVPN Birthday Deal
NordVPN has been our Editor’s Choice for several years now, and for good reason, especially if you need a VPN for unblocking free American streaming services, such as HBO Max, Tubi, Peacock, the US version of Netflix (see our full guide on how to watch American Netflix in the UK) and many others.
NordVPN is currently celebrating its 10th birthday, so the Birthday deal is going to run until the end of March.
The biggest discount is being offered on the 2-Year Plan – but in addition to the discount, each customer (of the 2-year plan) will get a random free gift – extra time on your subscription, up to two whole free years.
