1) Go for a bundle
Another bill you can cut with a bundle is your TV. With BT, Sky and Virgin Media all competing for your business, deep discounts are on offer for taking a package with one of them.

2) Only pay for what you want
Most satellite providers now offer a selection of different packages on different pay scales, based on which channels you want to have access to.

So if you’re currently paying for a heap of channels you never watch, have a look to see if you an alternative package meets your needs better.

3) Get Freeview
It's a cheaper alternative to other digital TV packages. If you don’t want to pay a monthly subscription to go digital, why not get Freeview instead?

A Freeview box costs around £15 to £30 and it’s a one-off payment. You can get access to 48 digital TV channels, as well as 24 radio stations at no extra charge.
