The TV set up that works for everyone
By bringing into your home EE TV's TV service, that's how. It not only offers amazing entertainment, sport and movies, but the flexibility to change your package every month – so you pay only for what you want to watch. You'll just need to have EE Broadband to take advantage of all the benefits of EE TV.
Changing TV habits
While a household may once have all come together to watch one, maybe two, prime-time TV shows together in the evening, the world of TV and entertainment now has hundreds of channels and multiple streaming platforms.
Perhaps you enjoy nothing better than hiding yourself away to watch Premiership Rugby all afternoon, while the kids watch the latest blockbuster on repeat. While most families have shows they watch together, accommodating polar opposite tastes can be tricky to manage when you only want to pay for one or two streaming platforms or sports channels.
For many households like the Richardsons in south west London, flexible family TV viewing is essential. 'We watch lots of things together with our six-year-old son, like all the big tennis tournaments,' says Sam, 50. 'Our son also has a lot of favourite shows that he watches at points in the day. But when he goes to sleep in the evening, my wife and I have about two and half hours to enjoy our favourite shows.'
Sam says that this often means needing to subscribe to lots of different platforms. They enjoy a wide range of shows, from I May Destroy You on iPlayer to Succession on NOW and Black Mirror on Netflix. 'I find it frustrating that for music there are platforms that allow you to have everything in one place, but for TV and movies you have to go to so many different platforms,' he says.
Moira O'Neill, 66, lives in Nottinghamshire with her husband. She says that they watch TV most evenings across several platforms. 'Occasionally my husband will watch football or a dark historical drama that I don't tend to watch. I prefer house-moving or building programmes,' she says. Mrs O'Neill explains that they often unsubscribe from a platform if there's nothing on it they want to watch at that particular time. As they're both retired, they don't want to waste money unnecessarily.
The power of flexibility
For households like the O'Neills and Richardsons, flexibility is essential when it comes to enjoying TV together and separately. The good news is that with EE TV, you can enjoy all of your favourite shows – across platforms including Netflix, discovery+ and Sky Sports channels on NOW – without racking up huge costs. How so? Because EE TV offers flexible packages that allow you to stay in control of what and how much you pay.
You don't really want to pay for two EE TV packages when you know the other won't get watched again for a few weeks. EE TV makes this easy by allowing you to switch your subscription month by month so you don't need to pay for platforms you're not currently watching. So you could choose EE TV's Big Sport package, then swap it with Big Entertainment and watch NOW Cinema between seasons.
If you're already subscribed to a platform such as NOW or Netflix but want to make things more streamlined with EE TV, there's no need to cancel. EE will move your billing over for you so you have one simple EE account to switch and change as you like.
For Mrs O'Neill, a one-stop package is much more appealing to family life: 'I also look after my grandchildren regularly, so I need to have options for them. Having a broader range of flexible streaming platforms would definitely make things easier.'
With so much amazing TV to watch, including live TV, sports to enjoy and movies to get lost in this summer, EE TV can help you enjoy it all in a way that suits you and your family by having all of your favourite platform subscriptions and sports channels in one place.

Netflix fans 'called in sick' to binge final season of gut-wrenching series
A Netflix series has left fans lying to their bosses so they can binge the 'gut-wrenching' finale. Part two of the second season of The Sandman, adapted from Neil Gaiman's beloved comic book series, has finally dropped on Netflix. The second season focuses on Dream and his epic final journey as he looks to rebuild his kingdom. But the show has been dogged by the accusations against Gaiman, which sent shockwaves through his fanbase earlier this year. Despite that, the show has remained extremely popular with its fans, even causing them to 'call in sick' so they can watch it. Before it was released on the streaming platform, Sullyville said on Reddit: 'I called in sick. I just had a iced coffee. I'm here with you all waiting for the drop.'

I'm a mess I won't tell more to avoid spoilers but I'm happy that we were given such a great adaptation, with a fabulous cast. Also I didn't stop crying, did I mention I'm a mess?' @LauraRival1 commented: 'I have no words, it's magnificent, this adaptation is a jewel with intense emotions. The actors are just perfect! Thank you all for bringing this story to life!' @howlnini also said: 'TheSandmanSeason2 a beautiful end to a beautiful show :) what a ride! I will remain seated for the final episode.' Despite the overwhelmingly positive reactions to the series, Netflix has already confirmed that this will be the last we see of Dream (Tom Sturridge), in an announcement that came in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations levied against Gaiman, who co-developed the show from his comics. The first six episodes dropped on July 3, with the second five having arrived today. Ahead of the season, Netflix released a teaser trailer for The Sandman season two, which did not mention Gaiman by name. The showrunner, Allan Heinberg, notably also did not mention Gaiman or the allegations when he shared a statement about the show's conclusion. More Trending 'The Sandman series has always been focused exclusively on Dream's story, and back in 2022, when we looked at the remaining Dream material from the comics, we knew we only had enough story for one more season,' he told Netflix's Tudum. A number of projects involving Gaiman across film and TV have either been paused or cancelled altogether – including Good Omens on Prime Video, which is now ending in a feature-length episode without Gaiman's involvement.

Spacey told actor ‘don't worry about it' after alleged assault, documents claim
Kevin Spacey allegedly sexually assaulted a young actor at a party at The Savoy hotel and then told him 'Don't worry about it', court documents for the High Court legal claim suggest. Ruari Cannon is suing Mr Spacey as well as two organisations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London, claiming he suffered psychiatric damage as a result of sexual and emotional abuse. The 33-year-old has waived his anonymity in the claim. In court documents seen by the PA news agency, Mr Cannon alleges that Mr Spacey, who was a 'powerful figure and a world-famous actor and celebrity' at the time, assaulted him in about June 2013, when he was 'a very vulnerable young man'. Oscar-winning actor Mr Spacey has previously denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour and wrongdoing, and details of his defence are not yet available. According to the documents, filed in June, Mr Spacey was working as artistic director at the Old Vic Theatre at the time of the alleged assaults on a production of a play by Tennessee Williams known as Sweet Bird Of Youth, and Mr Cannon was a member of the cast in this production. They claim that Mr Spacey 'took a particular interest' in Mr Cannon for 'reasons of sexual interest' and sent him a 'lavish' gift of a framed poster of the 1985 production of the play directed by Harold Pinter. After the press preview of the show on June 12 2013, Mr Cannon attended a party at The Savoy in London organised by The Old Vic Theatre Company (The Cut) and The Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000. It is claimed that one of the alleged assaults took place at the event. Setting out the allegations, Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel KC, for Mr Cannon, said: 'Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant towards him, turned him around through 45 degrees and placed his left hand on the claimant's buttocks and lifted up the recess material of his suit.' It is alleged that Mr Spacey then pushed Mr Cannon's underwear 'as far up' into his bottom as possible, 'so as to cause pain and distress'. Ms Gumbel added: 'Mr Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant closer to him and whispered into the claimant's ear 'Don't worry about it'. 'Mr Spacey made more uncalled for and unwelcome advances to the claimant during the evening.' The following day, Mr Cannon reported the alleged assaults to his stage manager at the Old Vic Theatre, but no action was taken. According to the documents, it is accepted that Mr Cannon did not ask for any action to be taken, and was scared about how any further action might affect his career. Later that year, during the run of the show, Mr Cannon saw Mr Spacey at the Old Vic bar. Mr Spacey allegedly said to him, 'I hear you have a dirty secret', and then said: 'Open up.' Ms Gumbel said: 'Kevin Spacey then forced open the claimant's mouth with his fingers and thumbs and commented 'quite a bad boy' before the claimant could pull away. 'The claimant then left the bar. The forcing open of the claimant's mouth was another assault for which Kevin Spacey was responsible and for which the second and/or third defendants were vicariously liable. 'Further in 2017 when the Old Vic set up a confidential complaints email on October 31 2017 the claimant reported the above complaint again to the Old Vic.' She added that the alleged assaults were carried out by Mr Spacey in the course of his work for the organisations connected to the Old Vic, and they are 'vicariously liable' for the alleged assaults carried out in the context of a theatre production.
