Long gone are the days of popping down the high street to choose a DVD to rent, then forget to return. Whether it’s via your smart TV, games console, tablet, media streamer or other gadget, there is more content at your fingertips than you could possibly even consume. We browse the online streaming and rental services so you don’t have to so you can find out where to watch the best TV shows online.
What subscription do I need?
Meanwhile, Sky has various ways of watching things even if you’re not a traditional satellite contract subscriber. It has Now TV (which includes access to great TV, films, and sport) and the Sky Store (for films) which can be accessed and used by anyone on a range of devices. If you’re going to buy or rent a film or TV series it’s worth browsing all the services to find the cheapest price. Also bear in mind what device you want to watch on as services will only support a limit amount and whether you can do things like download the content for offline viewing. We’ve stuck with how to watch these shows in the UK, and some of them are exclusively available in the UK on some services. If you want to access them from outside of the UK you could use a VPN like TotalVPN to change your virtual location. Find out more about VPNs and which are best in our best VPNs round-up.
