I connected the new HDMI cables to the TV devices, and I noticed that the Sky+ HD box output to the 4K TV showed the TV Guide at its best without blurred areas around the text displays.
I checked the information about HDR quality images and checked here:
Settings, Picture Settings, and HDMI settings to reset the TV to enhanced HDR quality.
I checked some extra Pinterest.com TV tricks and tips that led me here:
https://www.makeuseof.com/change-hdr-settings-better-picture-quality/
So I updated the 4K TV by switching off the Smooth Motion setting as well.
The Sky+ HD box output is set to 1080 quality anyway.
If I had the Sky Q or Virgin Media 350 set-top boxes, I could get better quality.
I connected a new HDMI cable to the ROKU 4K set-top box.
Some subscription TV channels may require extra payments, but that’s not my main concern.
There are Ultra-HD videos available on the Internet, and they can be tested.
Some Internet websites offer download programs and quality conversion options, so these can be tested using videos saved to USB drives.
My 4K TV has devices connected, so I aim to get any improvements the new cables may provide.
When I tested a 3 for 2 offer, I soon discovered that this today-only deal applied to the first items ordered. So I removed the existing items and searched for items sold at about £20 each. I ordered 3 and paid £40 due to the free delivery.
I made a second order. I ordered 6 shirts for a total of £48, and then I received the £8 discount. I saved £28 as a combined discount this time.
I got another 99p for the 7-day trial subscription.
I checked Co-op for another £15 off a £50 order.
The other discount was an extra £4, so I paid £31 instead.
Local delivery within 2 to 4 hours TODAY.
As for Amazon Prime Day offers, many deals make me wonder.
The Fire Stick discount looks good, but Amazon keeps reducing the important features that buyers bought the items for in the past. See YouTube for instructions on how to reset your settings that Amazon has changed with the latest upgrades.
The latest Prime Video film I watched today was called HEADS OF STATE…
The latest tip MSE email has a READLY 100-day free trial link, so I got that newspaper and magazine deal this week and saved over £30.
I received an updated offer of 25% using a discount code but I couldn’t sign in.
I created a new email account, and I chose 13 T-shirts.
I used the discount code.
I paid about £41 for the T-shirts and the free delivery.
I saved about £13.
The Disney+ profile had to switch from 0+ to 18+ to see the Marvel Adventure films, such as Captain America and the Hulk. If not, then the Marvel Collections and the search features won’t get access.
This is one of the reasons I keep the website’s web pages open during setups and their different settings.
I continued the Disney+ registration with a date of birth and Mickey Mouse profile, and a profile name as an account reminder. I got an email code for the ROKU box setup, and then I was OK.
If I had simply not registered on the Disney website, then the ROKU box offer was £4.99 on its home page display. Maybe that would be reduced, maybe not, but I’m going to stream and save money.
The home page has the same discount deal with lots of film images for extra reasons to subscribe. The deal I got was as a brand-new customer email address. I had to use credit card details or PayPal. The credit card transaction includes sending an email with a one-time code, so that worked OK. The streaming option can then use my ROKU set-top box.
The deal can get cancelled before 21/10/25…

Disney Plus with ads discount deal for £1.99 for 4 months, then renews at full price…
New and existing customers, check the details to learn extra ways to get discounts.
If we connect directly to our TVs using the HDMI cable from a Sky+ HD set-top box, then that’s what we get: superior sound and vision. The picture will get upscaled to a 4K Smart TV.
Some HDMI cables have gold-coloured connectors, so these could be better than the silver-coloured ones.
Even so, the text appears better using the TV option rather than the Sky+ HD option so that’s worth some testing on different TVs and their settings such as SHARPNESS as that affects the appearance of text.

This explains the info for up to the 23rd June 2025.
The Sound and Vision TV offers include TVS with Freely.
The Morrisons voucher code saved me £12 on a £70 order, yet the discounted prices saved me almost £20 more. I saved about £30 this time for my delayed order over the weekend.
Remember that many customers want weekend shopping orders. Some items may not get delivered. Even so, I still get £12 off the final total.
Some discount websites require us to order a single item at a time. They charge for postage, but if we buy several items in the same size and colour, we pay the extra postage. Some offer no further discounts on multiple orders, while others provide no discounts when sending a single parcel rather than separate parcels. So I reported these facts when asked to give feedback. Save time and money? Only if they let us do this by updating their websites to help us save time and money!
Another Amazon account granted 99p for Prime access for 7 days. So, I ordered £40 of goods using Groceries, then Co-op, and applied a £10 off voucher NEWCOOP40. The £40 order was reduced to £30 with free delivery tomorrow. The Co-op prices were more expensive, but the discount reduced the costs. I updated the items to request no substitutions.
I ignored the Amazon Groceries discounts for Morrisons orders because I knew I would receive a Morrisons website offer. That’s why I used their £10 discount code on a £60 order later. This time, I ordered several items even though I may not get all of them delivered. I still get the discount, but for a reduced bill.
This order saved me over £20 so far.
