To tell you that Sky have announced that they will offer: Netflix, HBO Max, HayU and Disney+ as one package, from March-ish.

prices will start from £24 per month Would you take it up? I need to work out what I’m paying per month tbh, but I pay for Now Tv, Netflix, Apple TV and get Disney plus with my bank (Lloyds) - 🤷♀️🤷♀️ Seems to me that we’ve gone back to the days of just having one cable tv bill!! - well done to sky for hanging in there tbh!

its all so pricey

but that would include sky tv, and the ability to pause and rewind live tv

Thats sky q. Netflix is not free. If you go for sky stream you get Netflix with adverts free. 😀

We got access to HBO through Sky today but disappointed that some popular films are excluded. Superman not available on our package, for example. We've bought it via a buy and keep offer instead for £5.99.

PuppyMonkey · 26/03/2026 12:21

Now came to me with an offer to have 12 months entertainment package including HBO Max for £2.99 a month. How could I refuse?

with adverts though, which are slightly annoying but not as bad as ITV or Prime.

I do this

Show quote history

I do this too. You can often pick up offers too which makes it even cheaper / free. I got Disney plus for 3 months for free and free Apple TV for a month via my mobile provider. You can use Tesco clubcard points on Disney to get it half price. Now tv often does half price for first month. I just binge on stuff and cancel.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 26/03/2026 11:23

So does the hbo max require a separate payment? Like Hayu does?

Show quote history

Not if you're already on Now, no.

I changed our Netflix from £19 to £5 per month. We dont need to watch love is blind in HD 🙄

Plus without friends, its useless anyway

We pay for Now for sky atlantic (guess that’s covered in a normal sky subscription?), Netflix and Disney. Never even use Disney tbh, no idea why we still pay. Barely use Netflix either, only if a decent new series is on which is rare.

Interesting. I’m not sure what we’d watch without Netflix!!

EmeraldRoulette · 11/02/2026 19:23

No, she doesn't have Netflix

She may not understand what she has though.

But I just think £24 for Sky and Netflix and all the others - seems unlikely.

My mum was paying £89 a month for just sky plus ad ons films and sports.

berlinbaby2025 · 19/03/2026 21:12

Does anyone know if HBO Max will be included with a Now membership? I’m leaning towards probably not as The Pitt hasn’t been advertised on there.

mum2jakie · 19/03/2026 21:02

Finally got free access to Disney+!! Woohoo. Get to catch up with the new series of Paradise! HBO starts next week.

mum2jakie · 14/03/2026 08:09

Frustrating that we're halfway through March - have cancelled our Disney Plus - and Sky still haven't actually confirmed what date DP will be available. 'In March' isn't particularly helpful at this stage!

The wording on Sky TV site says:

New customers will get Sky Originals and Exclusives, Hayu, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max1 as part of the Sky Ultimate TV pack from just £24 a month. Designed for those who want a never-ending supply of brilliant entertainment for the best value in the market, it brings together over 130 channels including Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky History, plus many more.

New Customers only.

We've had an email (as existing Sky customers) saying the three apps will be added to our contract at no extra charge from March.

RedRiverShore6 · 13/02/2026 17:28

Anyone that hops in and out of streamers, I wouldn't get the Sky ones, you have to give 31 days to cancel and it's not always possible online. I am have trouble with Sky at the moment regarding a Paramount subscription and it is like some sort of hell trying to get any sort of customer service to resolve it. It's very difficult to contact them on the phone as they want you to do it online and often you can't. There is a lot of 'computer says no'.

Just a warning to anyone considering moving to Sky for this offer- I've found the customer service to be shocking. My elderly parents signed up for a TV and phone package when there was a good offer on. There was a problem on the landline that took them over a year to properly sort out (they kept blaming whoever it is that they pay for the use of the actual lines) leaving 2 old and unwell people who are not good with mobiles without a landline for months. There was supposed to be a credit to the account for the time they could not use the service but this has never happened, despite following up several times. It was a nightmare to switch the name on the contract over when Dad passed away and I have recently found out they are being charged 3 x as much as the advertised price for just for the most basic TV package. We are now trying to cancel but they are making that very, very difficult (last attempt was over an hour on the phone, being put on hold/transferred many times and then cut off). I have attempted to make an official complaint but have been told that the only way to do this is to ask the person on the phone to do it on my behalf, and they've said there is no way to see what has been included or what action is being taken (cynically I think this means I have actually no way of knowing if any complaint has actually been lodged).
I'm sure it's fine if all goes to plan and you are able to check for new offers etc at the end of your contract but I feel I need to warn people that their customer service is very lacking.

Hmm, I’d heard from a friend that Sky could be tricky, so this does put me off somewhat. The standalone Now and Disney subscriptions are really easy to cancel and restart so maybe I’ll stick with them after all.

Tarkan · 13/02/2026 16:36

We already get Netflix and Disney+ included through Sky anyway. DH has always been able to get us decent deals from them whenever our contract runs out. I don’t know if we would use the HBO Max thing when it launches or not so that would be the only difference from now for us I guess.

OP if you want them all in the Sky bundle and don't swap in and out, the Sky deal is probably alright. Would you want one of the other offerings from Lloyds bank though instead of Disney, I get DH a walking magazine with mine or you can get cinema tickets I think but if there isn't anything else from LB you would want you are probably better to get stand alone streamers

thank you - I already paid £38 for vanity fair and vogue for the year, I don’t think I’d read any - I don’t think it’ll be worth it for me

plus I need Netflix on two devices at a time which will bump up the price 🫩🙄

I have an email saying they will be included with my subscription so I dont think its new customers. Looks like its the ad subscriptions though

Finally, FINALLY, HBO Max will be in the UK. All the best content, best tv ever made. I'll just get that, directly from HBO, no need for the Sky garbage.
