Take advantage of the seven free days of SkyShowtime on your Android: so you can subscribe from your mobile and cancel before the deadline expires


SkyShowtime entered Spain quite strongly. In the midst of all the Netflix controversy with the new shared account policies (which are not applied in all cases due to the difficulties involved), SkyShowtime arrived in our country with a groundbreaking offer: 50% lifetime discount on monthly subscription if you don’t cancel.

This allowed us to take a look at the catalog and have another video platform at a very attractive price. Unfortunately, it expired a few months ago, but what is still active is the free seven-day trial of SkyShowtimeand we tell you how to take advantage of it and how to cancel so that you are not charged anything.

How to watch SkyShowtime for free and cancel before you’re charged

Despite the controversy over disappearing content, SkyShowtime is a good complementary subscription if you get it at the right price. After the starting price of 2.99 euros, we have two plans: the monthly one or the annual one with a discount.

The monthly one costs 5.99 euros per month and the annual one for 46.99 euros per year. This is equivalent to paying eight months and a year costs 3.92 euros per month, which is not bad at all. Here, at the moment, we do not find different plans with advertising, different content or different resolutions.

But hey, as we say, There is a seven-day trial so you can assess if the content is worth it or if the viewing quality is what you expect, and this promotion only applies if we choose the manual subscription.

To take advantage of this trial, you have to go to the SkyShowtime website (not in the app) and create an account with email and password. In addition, you must fill out some information such as your payment method and, when everything is ready, the first week is free.

Once this is done, you can start browsing, but We recommend that the first step after creating the account is… cancel the subscription. In this way, the platform will not pass you the 5.99 euros for the first month, since the renewal is automatic if you do not cancel.

To do so, all you have to do is go to ‘My Account’ and select ‘Cancel Subscription’ under the ‘Plans and Payments’ tab. What’s happening? Well you can’t do it from your mobile. To cancel your SkyShowtime subscription, you have to go to the website and the process is quite annoying.

If you have the application downloaded, automatically when you enter your credentials on the web, the app will open. You must go back (to Chrome or whatever browser you use) and do the process from there.

Done this, you will be able to continue using SkyShowtime for free for the rest of the trial of seven days without fear of being charged anything at the end.

Pirates are playing Tekken 8 again before anyone else. The beta has been hacked no less than 10 days before its release


Tekken 8 is Bandai Namco’s massive bet for early 2024. A premiere set for January 26 for which the Japanese continue to give us long teeth with paths betas multiplayer between now and the premiere. The next one will take place next weekend, from the 20th to the 23rd ofOctober, but there are those who have accessed it before on PC, without permission obviouslyand endangering the viability of betas on the platform.

This is not the first time we have seen something like this happen, not only in the fighting game landscape, but in Tekken 8 itself. The fighting game saw last June how a series of players accessed the files of the beta and removed all restrictions on playing early, even after it had closed. Now, the game Tekken 8 once again sees how some players have accessed the game, eliminating barriers and being able to play 10 days before of the next beta.

The problem, although it was actually an advantage for those hoping to play it legally, is that Bandai Namco enabled the game preload on Xbox and PC consoles last day October 10th. With this and a certain skill and skill, certain users have been able to access the game and enjoy the beta, without an internet connection of course, before everyone else.

Of course, this “early access” has led to the subsequent upload of images and videos of the game to social networks. This gives us a curious, and worrying, panorama on this platform. It is not the first time that we have seen certain studios limit their previous tests to consoles in the face of the danger of a possible or, in this case, the file hacking to play it before enabling the servers.

When can we start playing Tekken 8?

As we have mentioned, the beta will begin next Friday, October 20, to conclude just 3 days later, on the 23rd of the same month. Of course, Bandai Namco offers us everything on a plate and has given us the start and end time of the beta. This will begin at 10:00 a.m. (Spanish peninsular time) and will close the Monday at 9:00 a.m..

This email announces you 90 days of free subscription to Netflix: don’t bite, it’s a scam


A new cyber-scam is now targeting Netflix users: the INCIBE (National Institute of Cybersecurity) has given notice of the massive sending of malicious e-mails announcing to users that their Netflix subscription has expired. Cybercriminals are, however, ‘generous’ and offer a free 90-day extension… however, behind this offer is an attempt to steal information.

And it is that, if we accept, we will be asked to enter our personal data (including credit card data) before granting said extension, in what constitutes the typical phishing attack, which not seen a thousand times seems to lose effectiveness.

What is the phishing attack?

Fraudulent emails, with subjects such as , alert the user about the expiration of their subscription to the streaming platform.

As a supposed loyalty strategy, they promise a free extension of 90 days if the user links a credit card to validate the account. They ensure that no charges will be applied to the card provided.

By clicking on the link included in the email, users are redirected to a fake website pretending to be the official Netflix platform (see main image). On this page, the company logos and the same subscription expired message are displayed, along with a button to extend the subscription for free.

However, as we said before, the hidden objective is to convince the user to provide their personal and credit card information in a form.

The mistake, however, we have made at the same moment that we have opened the e-mail and we haven’t checked the sender address. If it had, we would have verified that it does not correspond to an official Netflix address.

And that is precisely one of the first details that we always have to check in these cases.

What to do if you have received this type of mail?

If you have received a similar email and have not provided information, it is essential Mark it as spam and remove it from your inbox.

On the other hand, if you have fallen into the trap and have given your personal and bank details in the form, you should not delete anything: on the contrary, You should immediately contact your bank to notify them of the situation and take the necessary measures. This could involve canceling the credit card involved to prevent potential unauthorized charges.

Next:

  1. Regularly review the movements of your bank account to detect possible unauthorized charges.
  2. Collect evidence of fraud, saving emails and screenshots of the process. These tests can be useful if you need to file a complaint.
  3. Get in touch with the State Security Forces and Corps (FCSE) and report the facts, providing the evidence collected.
  4. Do regular “egosurfing” to check if your personal or banking details have been exposed online. If so, follow the process provided by the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) to request its deletion through suppression to oblivion.
