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

Good news for me. We currently subscribe to Disney+ as well as having Sky, so I've cancelled the Disney today as we'll get it included in our Sky contract from March.

We were considering getting HBO Max anyway, as it's going to be showing the Harry Potter TV series and new DC content. So now we'll have DC as well as Marvel on Disney.

If it was on a proper box like Sky+ or Q, then definitely. If it's on their shitty stream service, no. Rather just get individual streaming subscriptions for few months at a time and watch all I want, then switch. No point having them all together unless they have a tv guide where you can scroll through all the channels, rather than one at a time. Plus a proper planner, saved list, and the ability to save things permanently and easily fast forward and rewind etc. Miss my old Sky box :(

No chance.

I get apple tv with my student apple music account for free.
Netflix I get free as my extra with my phone bill.
Disney+ I pay £2.99 a month as they offered me a deal when i went to cancel. That's for 3 months and il do the same again.
Prime I get with my student account too.... I use this for deliveries so its an added extra to me.

Essentially I pay £2.99 for them all as I would genuinely be paying for all the other stuff anyway.

It will be all the cheap ones with ads aren't they only about £5 or £6 anyway

I’d bet good money on this being an introductory offer but almost certainly won’t apply to existing customers. Sky lure you in with low offers, get you hooked and then (like boiling frogs) gradually turn up the heat till you suddenly realise, ‘hey I was paying £25 a month, why am I now paying £75?’

I’m currently stuck in a Stockholm Syndrome relationship with Sky at £65 per month. I cancel every 18 months at the end of the contract and swear I’m going to Freeview but then I get suckered in again. Every Time.

No. We have prime, and I get Netflix on an ad-hoc basis (4 months a year to coincide with autumn half term, Christmas, spring half term and Easter holidays).

£24 is very basic package. Ours is £36 pm, for ultimate, cinema, ad skipping and includes netflix and discovery+. I daresay it will increase when contract is up.

Where has the £24 come from?

the email I got as an existing customer didn’t mention anything about prices, it’s the same as the one posted up thread.

No. The thing I really want is to be able to pay for only the sport package through Sky, without having to have any other kind of tv package.

The apps are on a rolling month so you can cancel them but it is not that easy, I think you have to ring to cancel Netflix and the ones on Marketplace can be problematic. I couldn't downgrade Paramount on the app and had to ring up to do this. Ringing Sky is not for the faint hearted

No, im trying to work out how i reduce them all tbh. Feels like pay way too much.

There is SO much money in the film & tv industry. There is no way on earth it needs to cost what it does.

We pay loads for SkyQ and have Netflix bundled in as it's a pound or two cheaper, we have the one with no ads. I don't have Disney with Sky as that is with Sky Marketplace and we had a lot of problems with the upgraded from free Paramount Plus which is on Sky Marketplace, lots of failed payments and difficulties paying it.

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 sky includes Netflix and paramount plus. But I pay a lot.

I don't believe for a second it will be anywhere near £24. I was with Sky for something like 15 years. I had Netflix, Discovery+, Sky Sports, Disney+ and internet (with two Sky boxes) and the monthly cost went up to £120. I called threatening to leave and they would only offer something like £100 per month. I now have the same with Virgin for £60 per month - granted I don't have sports anymore but I do have Netflix, Discover+, Disney+, NOW (to replace Sky Atlantic) and internet (with two boxes).

You can pause live tv, just not record. Its different, but we are used to how it works now.

Looks like it'll will all be included for no extra cost (until the contract ends no doubt).

We have sky (would have been virginmedia as we were with them for years but they don't cover the area we recently moved to) and was talking about getting disney+ for A Thousand Blows and Rivals season 2 but will hang on for it to be added.

We are kind of stuck with sky so will see what happens at renewal time. I've never really looked at the alternatives and we can't be bothered having terrestrial channels through apps on our smart TV.

I don't like that sky doesn't record stuff, just links the show to a playlist and takes you to the relevant app to watch it, but we are used to it now.

I'm generally quite good at getting renewals for a decent price, so if it goes up too much, I'll haggle and be prepared to cancel if need be, but thats a year away now.

Same here. I pay 5.99 a month for Netflix and same for Disney. (Well Disney is free at the moment as an O2 bolt on incentive but that’s what I will pay when that drops off.

When I looked at these types of cheap sky deals they were all sky stream - so no ability to record or pause live tv. So now I pay a fortune for traditional sky with sports.

Doesn't this just tie you into a contract though? At the moment I just cycle through Netflix, Apple and Disney, binge watching what I want from each then moving on to the next one. I don't run concurrent subscriptions. With the sky thing wouldn't you have to have them all for 12 or 24 months?

I do this
