About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Can’t see this anywhere else on here, or advertised online in general.
The new Sky Stream Box (puck?) has just been released. It allows you to stream the usual Sky services and box sets via your internet if you can’t have (or do not want) a dish.
I’m a Sky Broadband Customer already, and it seems to have given the first three months for free (usually 26p/m) when signing up to the 18 month contract. You can then add on Sports, Netflix etc. although the standard Netflix comes as free.
There is also a £50 cash back offer on cashback sites, which hopefully isn’t affected by the discount but have to wait and see about that one coming through.

sorted byPretty impressed with it so far, it's good to be able to watch some Sky content/Movies in UHD but some of the apps on it are very slow so will be sticking to the Apple TV for Netflix etc.
Prices are fixed for 18 months (or so they say!) and on a 31 day rolling contract.
4k and Dolby Atmos across all pucks/boxes was a key factor for me. Can see the difference already with the sound/vision. Got a home surround sound set up too so all ties in well together.
So far so good. Sky Glass was never an option as wasn’t a fan of the TV or the fact you had to buy it to get the streaming service.
Sky glass - waste of time and likely won’t be around in a few years time.
Now tv - good but found virgin better for sports.
Virgin stream box - probably the best. Can get 18 months HD BT sport for £10 a month, HD sky sports £18 a month - much cheaper than sky and cancel anytime as they only require 30 days notice (not tied in for 18 months just that’s what the price is for 18 months)
Will give another option over T for those who can't/don't want dish!
Likely contender for a Black Friday deal?

Sky does have the best combined catchup interface, everything is in the same player and same menu and the same search. No switching apps or anything. Nobody does it as good. Would be nice if they could just release this with freeview channels and those catchup services and charge like £10/month instead. It'll only be the free channels anyway and the £10 would be for them and the streaming/service costs. Then add Netflix through them if you want which i'm sure they'd probably get a 10% or so cut of, integrate as many other streaming services directly into their interface too. Would be the ultimate paid streaming box. £30/month to 1 company with long contracts just isn't good these days.
Plus on fire stick it’s monthly rolling contracts cancel as I please (edited)
I did want Sky Q but how the engineer wanted to instal it was totally daft - would’ve spent more time looking at the wires than the actual Sky!!
Could’ve paid extra to get the pre wiring done privately but thought I’d take a chance with Stream - low commitment given it’s 31 days and no TV to buy. And also 4k/Dolby Atmos across each puck. Enjoying it so far.
I know I don't get the full sky channels on NowTv but it's the main channels imho
I'm on a silly low price from Sky at the moment anyway - effectively getting my top-tier Netflix for free, but if Now is showing in 1080 these days - will definitely look to them at renewal.
Jog on. I'll stick to NowTV.
People can't complain about footballers wages whilst paying crazy Sky tax
Not only will they increase the price over the term I’ll wager that in 18 months time theyll hike the price up to over £50 pcm without telling you in advance! (edited)
That's what it should say
You have to buy it with a subscription? Could I just get the box and plug it into another room with my existing subscription? If I could even just get Sky Go on a portable box like this I would be chuffed to bits.
With these being essentially IPTV boxes it's pretty simple for sky to hide channels that are not part of your package.
If Im streaming / watching a 4k Sky feed, or a high bitrate 1080p HD sports channel, I must be pumping 20 to 30 meg minimum down the line into my router for that feed.
And, where I currently live, my Sky BB router only gets 38 meg.
So, whilst watching Sky, Id effectively only have possibly 8 meg "avail" for normal internet use - so forget wifey watching Netflix upstairs, or the kids streaming youtube constantly on their tablets...... (edited)
Sky needs to cut down cost but it won’t because content is expensive. Look how many billions Netflix spends yet people still complain about Netflix prices.
IMO these companies have no chance providing everything for as little as £20 a month if you want premium content like Sports and Films. (edited)
