If you've got Sky TV, Sky can put your price up during your two-year contract without telling you what rises to expect before you sign up AND without letting you leave penalty-free. Thought this kind of thing was supposed to be banned? So did we. But our investigation can now reveal that Sky is exploiting a surprising gap in the new rules – leaving its TV customers in the lurch.

The annual cost of a standard colour TV licence will rise to £174.50 from 1 April 2025 – an increase of £5 on the current price of £169.50 a year – the Government has announced.

Millions of Sky broadband and TV customers will see their bills increase from 1 April by an average of £67.20 a year (8.1% or £5.60 a month), the telecoms provider has announced. But some affected users may be able to cancel penalty-free as a result – here's how to beat the hikes.

Now has increased the price of its monthly Boost (which enables ad-free viewing) and Sports memberships by £1 each a month. It means viewers who subscribe to both will pay an extra £2 a month. You're limited in what you can do to beat the price hike but you can cancel your subscription penalty-free if you're not happy. 

If you're an Apple TV+ subscriber your next monthly bill will rise from £4.99 to £6.99 after the company said it is raising prices due to increasing licensing costs.

Sky has launched a new service that allows subscribers to access Sky TV, plus Netflix and other channels, without the need for a satellite dish. 'Sky Stream' is available from today (18 October). Below we detail how it works and how it compares with other Sky products, Freeview, and Netflix.

TalkTalk TV and PlayStation Now are MoneySavers least used subscriptions, a new MoneySavingExpert poll has found. It could be a good prompt to do a direct debit audit and check you're not paying for a service each month that you no longer use. 

Sky customers should check now if they are overpaying for their TV package, after the firm admitted it hasn’t been sending out end-of-contract notifications despite the regulator Ofcom insisting it should have been. 

Plusnet is to double the price of its BT Sport add-on from £5 to £10 a month for thousands of customers in September. 

Thousands of Now TV customers will see a price rise of £2 a month after the firm upped the cost of its cinema pass – but you may still be able to beat the hike.
