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!

We pay for Netflix and Disney Plus.

Costs about half that per month for both so we'll give it a miss!

mumofoneAloneandwell · 11/02/2026 18:31

its all so pricey

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

We already have Netflix with Sky and pay £13.49 for it. Now we will get Disney free which is great news, although I hope this doesn’t mean they will put the prices up.

PinkFrogss · 11/02/2026 18:38

Does anyone really need that many subscription services at a time? Sounds like alot to me. I’m guessing £24 is for the basic with ad packages and the decent packages are far more expensive

Sartre · 11/02/2026 18:40

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.

Can you port your account over so you don’t lose settings/favourites etc does anyone know?

Netflix just got er! But honestly, if it weren’t for my dd, I wouldn’t have it, especially now that friends has gone

Ok so how much will it be after a year/18 months?
In my experience it'll go up then you need to haggle or cancel and restart.
I've got a freely TV now and can pause and rewind live TV so don't need to pay sky for that and then take it in turns with netflix/Disney every few months so I'm only paying one at a time

TheMorgenmuffel · 11/02/2026 18:45

Start from?
So will it be 24 if you have sky, plus x for Netflix, plus for Disney...

If it was 24 for the lot id definitely go for it but that " starting from" bit makes me think the price would end up being a lot higher.

Popcorn76 · 11/02/2026 18:46

I just pay for 1 service at a time and we cycle through them, so a no from me.

Blanketenvy · 11/02/2026 18:50

At the moment I pay £18 for sky which includes basic Netflix, hope I'm not going to be forced into paying more. Like other people might occ subscribe to other services for brief periods but not interested in having them all the time..

EmeraldRoulette · 11/02/2026 18:51

Wow

Mum pays more than that for Sky on it's own now. There must be a catch?

You can pause a freely tv?! Is there an app I can download onto my Samsung tv? 👀👀👀

I can’t believe you can’t record programmes with sky?

edit, I agreed, I suspect there will be a catch and it won’t be a huge saving

I do this

Egglio · 11/02/2026 18:54

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?

does She get Netflix a well now? I suspect maybe it will be an add on package? So added onto basic sky

I would imagine you’d be tied in

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.

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.

DeltaAlphaDelta79 · 11/02/2026 19:05

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.

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

idriveaVauxhallZafira · 11/02/2026 19:18

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).

Heatedrival · 11/02/2026 19:21

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