I’m a big fan of Amazon’s Fire TV streaming devices – I’ve been using the Fire TV Cube as my main device this year, but the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, which was released late last year, is just as good in terms of how fast and responsive it is.Īll Fire TV devices are currently on sale and heavily discount – so which one should you get? (Also see our Fire TV Specs comparison) For those cases, a stand-alone streamer is an excellent choice.

But if you want to watch these services on your telly, you need a streamer (or a Smart TV).Īnd while Smart TVs are getting better and better, sometimes you don’t want to replace your TV (or perhaps your Smart TV’s streaming interface is just too slow and annoying). Streaming content via the internet is the cornerstone of TV cord cutting, with services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon’s own Prime Video.

You can get a 30-days free trial for Prime – so you can use that for Prime Day’s special deals, and then cancel if you don’t want it anymore.

Prime usually costs either £79/year or £7.99/month (which then comes down to £95.88/year), and you get free next day shipping, a big library of movies and TV shows via Prime Video, and a number of other perks. Remember though, while there are good bargains to be had, it’s important to keep in mind that not every “Sale!” you see is necessarily the best price, so it’s always a good idea to check around.Īlso, especially in these times, please only buy things you actually need – and, more importantly – can afford, even if they’re heavily discounted.Īnd don’t forget – in order to take part in the Prime Day sales and offers, you need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber. It’s that time of the year again – no, not Black Friday, but Amazon’s own holiday – Prime Day – where we actually get two days of discounts, July 12-13 – with some good deals on streaming devices, tablets, premium channels like StarzPlay and BritBox, earphones and more.Īs always, the tricky part is to sort out the good offers – so I’m here to help.
