It's packed with must-watch content and well-loved franchises like Star Wars, Indiana Jones (including the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny movie) and the new Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, but is it worth your money?

For more comparisons, check out Apple Music vs Spotify, Spotify vs Amazon Music and Amazon Music vs Apple Music. Is Disney Plus worth it? This is the big question. Is Disney Plus worth it? To answer it, the first note is around price. There are three types of subscription plan at Disney Plus. A Standard with Ads plan usually costs £4.99 per month, a Standard subscription costs £7.99 per month and a Premium subscription costs £10.99 per month. Normally, Disney Plus Standard costs £7.99 per month, but you can get it a little cheaper if you pay £79.90 for the whole year (which essentially bags you two months of streaming for free). There's a similar deal with Disney Plus Premium: subscriptions cost £10.99 per month, or just £109.90 for the entire year. However, new and returning customers can currently get four months of Disney Plus for just £1.99 a month, a saving of 60% on the Standard With Ads tier. This deal will run until…

description: Low or no signal on your TV? Try these indoor aerials for the perfect boost in poor signal areas.
encoded: You may consider aerials as a thing of the past, along with dial-up internet, Sony Walkmans and cassette tapes. However, while not as common as they used to be, TV aerials are very much in use nowadays, and can help you boost your TV signal and quality. If you live in an area where a TV signal is hard to come by, an indoor TV aerial could be the perfect solution. We've picked out a range of indoor aerials for different budgets, with varying ranges, and designs. There are a range of aerial solutions on offer, but most of the sleekest, simplest solutions are 'flat panel' aerials — with a couple of exceptions — so you'll see a lot of them popping up throughout our list. None of these aerials will set you back too much, with prices starting at just £12, but some of the options are much more feature-packed, and therefore more expensive, than others. Take a look at the list below for our top picks. Best indoor TV aerials at a glance Best budget indoor TV aerial: August DTA240 High Gain TV Aerial, £14.95 £12.95 (save £2 or 13%) Best premium indoor TV aerial: One for All SV9494, £62.40 Best long-range indoor TV aerial: Coolfell Indoor TV Aerial for Smart TV with Signal Booster, £24.98 £17.98 (save £7 or 28%) Best indoor TV aerial for mounting: RGTech Monarch 50 Antenna, £24.90 Best indoor TV aerial for easy installation: Amazqi Smart Digital TV Aerial, £19.99 £18.99 (save £1 or 5%) What to look for when choosing an indoor TV aerial If you're particularly far from a signal transmitter, you may want to choose an aerial with a signal amplifier. Another thing to consider is the size and shape of the aerial, as well as where it should be stored. Some aerials need to be attached to furniture, or a window, whereas others just sit next to the TV. Otherwise, these aerials are generally simple to set up and use.

description: Is the PlayStation 6 arriving sooner than we think?
encoded: If history is anything to go by, the PlayStation 5 has now passed the halfway point of its cycle (which is terrifying, we know). It's had plenty of modifications and extensions (the PS5 Slim and PlayStation Portal), and a plethora of memorable titles... so now, naturally, we're thinking about the PlayStation 6. So, what do we know? Well, there have been a few documents that suggest the wait for the next generation might be a bit longer than usual. Thankfully, this means we won't have to fork out on new hardware for a while yet. But when might we expect the PS6 release date to be? Let's take a deep dive and speculate... When will we get a PS6 release date? The PS6 doesn't look likely to launch until at least 2028, according to official documents and speculation that has been made around them. As part of the UK's Competition and Markets Authority investigation into Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard that took place in 2022, documents have revealed that Sony does not intend to release a new console until after 2027. The interesting part of this document, which certainly seems to imply that Sony will not be launching the next PlayStation console on this side of 2027, reads as follows: "Microsoft has offered to continue making Activision's games available on PlayStation only until 2027... By the time SIE launched the next generation of its PlayStation console (which is likely to occur around [redacted]), it would have lost access to Call of Duty and other Activision titles, making it extremely vulnerable to consumer switching and subsequent degradation in its competitiveness." "Even assuming that SIE had the ability and resources to develop a similarly successful franchise to Call of Duty, it would take many, many years and billions of dollars to create a challenger to Call of Duty – and the example of EA's Battlefield shows that any such efforts would more than likely be unsuccessful." This roughly falls in line with the length of recent console cycles, a cy…

encoded: Sky Sports is the home of Premier League football and Formula One, as well as world-class rugby, cricket and golf. For sports fans, it's a must-have. Here's our complete guide to tuning in to Sky Sports for the latest sporting fixtures and events. It used to be the case that watching Sky Sports required a lengthy and binding contract, but now there are more ways than ever to get your fix of sporting content without being locked in. If you sign up for a Sky Sports pass via NOW (formerly NOW TV), then it's possible to get short-term passes by the day, or week. This is ideal if you have one or two events in mind, but don't want to pay for Sky Sports subscription year-round. Sky also now has its own rolling contract system and contracts of varying lengths, plus it even has contracts for specific sports, so you can pick whatever works best for you. Be sure to check out our guide to all the best Sky Sports offers available this month. What's on Sky Sports? There's a wealth of top-class sport on Sky Sports, with the very best football, rugby, racing and more all on display. Right now we're in the midst of another exciting Premier League season, with footballing titans constantly locking horns, and Sky's coverage is second to none. Elsewhere the Sky Sports F1, Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports Cricket channels serve up the best of their respective sports as part of the 11-channel sporting roster. To get Sky TV plus Sky Sports with all 11 channels, packages start at £46 per month. However, there are ways to save on this in some circumstances — if you also want a phone, or Sky broadband, for example. Buy Sky TV with Sky Sports from £46 per month How to watch Sky Sports You can access Sky Sports through a Sky TV box, which is installed in your house by Sky if you take on a package. There is usually a set-up fee for this but — increasingly — a satellite dish is no longer needed, with the latest Sky Stream boxes and picks using an internet connection instead. However, this is relia…

Best AirPods alternatives 2024: Are AirPods worth it?

description: Are AirPods worth it? We're digging into the detail to find out. Plus, we'll offer some good alternative buys.
encoded: AirPods are some of the most popular wireless earbuds going. You're bound to see people using them wherever you go — but are they the best choice for the money? We don't think so. This guide runs through an ear-delighting array of earbuds that offer more affordable price points, better sound quality and other eye-catching features. Since most smartphones abandoned the headphone jack, wireless earbuds have become a go-to tech accessory, and AirPods have been among the most popular despite being relatively expensive. It's worth noting why Apple's AirPods have been so sought after. Partly, it's because iPhones have been so popular here in the UK. For iPhone users, AirPods offer an almost unrivalled user experience. They're simple to pair, and come with a wealth of features that make them intuitive and easy to use. That experience comes at a price, though — starting with the £139 AirPods (2nd Gen), to the latest £189 AirPods (3rd Gen), the £249 AirPods Pro, the £229 AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) and the over-ear £549 AirPods Max. While the AirPods range genuinely offers great sound, it's not the best out there. They're market leaders in terms of ease of use and user experience — when paired with an iPhone — rather than being market leaders in terms of sheer sound quality. So, if you're an audiophile with an Android phone, it may pay to look elsewhere. If you're on the hunt for some non-Apple earbuds, take a look at the suggestions below. The RadioTimes.com team have been reviewing and researching a wide range of alternatives to help you find your perfect earbuds. Still, considering Apple AirPods?

description: Here are some of the best affordable phones to buy today. Right now, there are budget picks from Samsung, OnePlus, Nokia and more.
encoded: On the lookout for a budget smartphone this year? You've come to the right place. The RadioTimes.com team have tested some fantastic phones, some of which had very appealing price tags. It's worth bearing in mind that a budget phone often comes with a compromise or two, and if you want all the latest and greatest features you might have to spend a little more. Hence, it's a good idea to think about what features you prioritise in a phone before choosing. There's no exact science on where the budget, mid-range and premium — or 'flagship' — categories begin and end. This varies from publication to publication and from brand to brand. In our case, we've chosen to define a budget smartphone as anything under £300, a mid-range smartphone as anything between £300 and £600, and a premium smartphone as anything above £600. Of these premium smartphones, only some of them are actually regarded as flagships. A flagship is a phone that leads a whole brand's offering, or at least one of their most premium lines. The term is a naval one as, historically, the flagship in a navy would be the largest, most valuable ship with the most firepower. In this guide, we are referring to the SIM-free price of the handsets, but it's worth considering that with most SIM packages you buy the cost is spread monthly rather than being entirely up-front. This could potentially give you a bit more flexibility in your budget. For more on the latest releases, take a look at our guide to the new Nothing Phone (2) UK release date and iPhone 15 UK release date.

description: Which of Sky's entertainment set-ups is right for your home?
encoded: Sky Glass and Sky Stream are two of the most popular ways to get Sky TV. The former offers impressive hardware —a TV with built-in entertainment and soundbar — while the latter offers easy access to Sky TV with almost no hardware at all. Which is best for you? Let's find out. While many Sky users still have Sky Q, or older Sky boxes, which offer a huge range of entertainment and sport content, these devices present the hassle of needing an aerial or dish. Whereas, both Sky Glass and Sky Stream can function solely based on an internet connection. As long as your connection is solid, you can get full access to Sky TV without all the extra hardware and preparation. So, is Sky Glass or Sky Stream the set-up for you? Shop Sky Glass deals from £33 a month Shop Sky Stream deals from £19 a month Shop Sky Q deals from £31 a month For more comparison guides, check out our guides to Sky Stream vs NOW and Sky Stream vs Sky Q. Jump to: Key differences The devices in detail Design Interface Picture and sound quality Our verdict How to buy Sky Glass vs Sky Stream: key differences Sky Glass is an actual TV set, with Sky TV built-in and a soundbar. It comes in varying sizes and is a pretty sleek piece of hardware. However, it's not ideal if you already have a TV that you want to stick with. If that's the case, then Sky Stream will suit you better. It gives you the same content and navigation as Sky Glass, without the actual TV. Essentially, it's a box that serves up Sky TV using the power of the internet, with no dish required. What's not to love? Sky Glass vs Sky Stream in detail The immediately noticeable difference between the two is the hardware. Sky Glass is a television set, whereas Sky Stream is a small box that could fit in the palm of your hand. Both offer access to highly-rated Sky programmes, films and more, but they suit different users and use-cases. Read on for our complete guide.

encoded: Halloween is here again and so is plenty of costume inspiration. If you loved the iconic BBC drama Peaky Blinders, then the Shelbys could make for an ideal Halloween costume this year. Peaky Blinders has been a style phenomenon in the UK ever since its release, with sales of flat caps rising by 83 per cent between 2016 and 2017 thanks to the huge popularity of the show. Now, following the show's final season — which came to our screens earlier this year — dressing up as the Shelbys could be just what the doctor ordered. If you want to join in with the Halloween festivities but don't want to be dressed head to toe in some plastic-y, latex monstrosity of a costume, then a Peaky Blinders outfit could be the best Halloween costume for you! Slip into a suit, add a few styling touches to evoke the series's well-loved characters and you're in business. We're taking a look at a full array of Peaky Blinders costumes to help you get suited and booted for Halloween. If you want to go the extra mile, you could even take a trip to the barbers and get yourself a Peaky Blinders haircut, the popularity of which has been another key indicator of the show's cultural impact. They've been in such high demand that GQ wrote a guide on how to ask your barber for one. Don't fear though, our costume suggestions won't require you to lop off all your hair or buy a very expensive suit. The RadioTimes.com team has hunted down some great options so you can hit the town — or your next Halloween party — in style as a Peaky Blinder.

description: It's all just a bunch of Hocus Pocus... or is it? Here's how you can dress as one of the Sanderson Sisters this Halloween with one of these top costumes.
encoded: The witch is back! and there's hell to pay... this Halloween, why not celebrate by dressing as one of the most infamous yet beloved witches in all of pop culture, Winnifred Sanderson? Every year hundreds of Winnie's, Mary's and Sarah's roam the streets, all paying tribute to the Halloween classic, Hocus Pocus. This year, we've done the spell work for you and gathered all the best Hocus Pocus costumers into one list – but first, we suggest a little context. The original Hocus Pocus movie was released in 1993 and tells the story of an unsuspecting teenager living in Salem — the site of the world-famous historic witch trials in the 1690's — who accidentally resurrects three evil witches. The film came out as a family-friendly comedy with a Halloween-appropriate spookiness to it, but it didn't originally fare well at the box office, losing Disney millions. However, there's a twist in the tale. In the years since, Hocus Pocus has become a huge cult hit thanks to yearly re-runs and iconic moments like Winnifred's I Put A Spell on You song. It's turned into such a cult classic that Disney released a remake in 2022 - and now there's even rumours of Hocus Pocus 3! With that in mind we think dressing up as a Sanderson sister is a brilliant costume choice for this year, whether you're alone or in a group of three. We've also got accessories, costumes for kids and even pets! So, come little RadioTimes.com reader, we'll take thee away, into our article of magic! Looking for more fancy dress ideas?

encoded: Apple TV+ is fast becoming one of the best streaming services out there. The US tech giant is offering a huge array of original drama, comedy and more on its entertainment platform, and here's how you can try it all for free. First off, why try Apple TV+? Mainly because there is some great content on offer. Highlights include award-winning sitcom Ted Lasso, which follows a US coach of the same name trying to make his way in the Premier League with fictional AFC Richmond, despite having no experience coaching 'soccer'. It's laugh-a-minute stuff and Jason Sudeikis shines as Lasso. Want something a little more serious? Ben Stiller's brooding thriller Severance stars Adam Scott and is well worth trying out. As is Slow Horses, starring Gary Oldman as the boss of 'Slough House' — a fictional section of MI5 to which failed agents are sent. Oldman's band of misfits and let-downs exist in a cynical purgatory on the fringes of the secret services but, of course, they're soon called into action and given a chance to redeem themselves. For more on Slow Horses, check out the exclusive RadioTimes.com interview with Mick Herron, author of the book behind the show. Or read on for our guide to bagging an Apple TV+ free trial. For more on Apple TV+, here's how to get Apple TV+ on your smart TV. How to get an Apple TV+ free trial in the UK So, how can you see all these great shows for free in the UK?

description: Apple recently announced it's new 3rd-generation iPhone SE. It's a fantastic option for budget-conscious Apple fans, but how does it compare to its predecessor?
encoded: Apple unveiled its newest iPhone during its 'Peek Performance' March event. The new third-generation iPhone SE takes the place of the 2nd-gen SE as Apple's more budget-conscious option within the iPhone range. We're breaking down the key differences to help you decide whether it's worth upgrading and whether a 2nd gen or 3rd gen SE might suit you. Firstly, for context — Apple's SE phones ditch the higher-spec cameras and a few other bells and whistles found on the main iPhone range. As a result, they're much more affordable. For example, the SE's camera is a 12MP wide-angle lens, whereas the iPhone 13 packs two. A wide and ultra-wide lens, plus apertures, additional settings and AI assistance. So, if you're looking for the best photography you can get from an iPhone, the SE isn't the choice for you. It still takes more than serviceable snaps though! So, how does the new SE compare to its predecessor? Notably, it's been beefed up with a new chip and some additional AI support. Here's a detailed breakdown of how the two handsets compare. Jump to: iPhone SE (2nd gen) vs iPhone SE (3rd gen): key differences at a glance Specs Price Storage Battery life Camera Display 5G compatibility Design Which should you buy? iPhone SE (2nd gen) vs iPhone SE (3rd gen): key differences at a glance The new SE is more powerful, equipped with Apple's A15 Bionic chip, the same chip that powers the iPhone 13. 2022's iPhone SE has full 5G capabilities. The old one only offers 4G. There's a larger 256GB storage option on the new SE. iPhone SE (2nd gen) vs iPhone SE (3rd gen): in detail Specs The stand-out spec boost for the third-gen SE is the addition of Apple's A15 Bionic chip, replacing the A13 chip from the 2020 SE. That same A15 chip powers the iPhone 13, so we know it's a powerful all-round performer. It's a real selling point for the new SE, but it needs to be because the specs are largely unchanged elsewhere. The 2022 phone offers the same display with the same 625 nits max brightness…

But, with four tests still to go, eager cricket fans can rejoice in the fact that there are still hospitality tickets available. Over the last month, England has been facing Australia across five tests at the historic cricketing venues that hosted the series back in 2019 — Old Trafford, Lords, The Oval, Edgbaston and Headingley. With the final test looming, England have one last chance to make a statement after losing two tests, winning one and drawing another. Meanwhile, Australia are looking to press their advantage. Having won cricket's ultimate prize on Australian soil, they'll now aim to do so again in the UK this weekend. There's over a hundred years of history on the line.

encoded: The winners at the 2024 Golden Globes have been announced, and it proved to be a big night for HBO's Succession following its fourth and final season. Succession took home the most wins in the TV categories at the 81st annual ceremony, receiving the Golden Globe Award for best TV drama series, as well as three acting wins — for supporting actor Matthew Macfadyen and leads Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook. “We decided this was the right time to end, and that was bittersweet,” series creator Jesse Armstrong said while accepting the award. She continued: “Particularly for me, because I finally bought some shoes that are appropriate for awards duty, and I’m afraid I won’t get to wear them much longer. It is bittersweet, but things like this make it sweeter.” Succession season 4 landed on HBO back in March 2023, launching the Roy family back on our screens as an all-out war unfolded between the clan. Given that HBO is a US network, fans in the UK might be wondering where they can watch (or re-watch) Succession in the UK. Read on for everything you need to know. Where to watch Succession online in the UK The fourth season of Succession is available to watch exclusively on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK. Sign up for Sky TV here. To stream it on NOW, you'll need an Entertainment Pass, which costs £9.99 per month, with a seven-day free trial available for all first-time subscribers. To subscribe, go to the NOW website and create an account, then click the TV Passes tab, and select which passes you would like to subscribe to.

encoded: The World Cup is here and Group B has begun. USA faced Wales in their opener and let a 1-0 lead slip, with Gareth Bale's penalty denying their bid for all three points. Now, the pressure's on as Gregg Berhalter's men face England this Friday and need to bag more crucial group stage points against a highly-rated opponent. Featuring form Premier League players like Chelsea's Christian Pulisic, Leeds's Brenden Aaronson and Fulham's Tim Ream, the USA side was widely regarded as the second favourite to progress from the group before things started. However, Wales were impressive in their tournament opener, registering more shots on target and shots overall, despite the USA claiming 59 per cent ball possession in the game. A draw felt a fair result in the end, though Welsh fans will be disappointed their team didn't capitalise on late chances. Following that exciting first match, the men's USA team have a point to prove against Gareth Southgate's England side later this week. For USA fans wanting to show their colours, the World Cup shirt is a must-have. The design has been slightly opinion-splitting among fans. The team's crest sits centrally on a plain white background. So far, so simple, right? But that dark blue detailing around the collar has spoiled the shirt in the eyes of some fans. Others love it. What do you think?
