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!

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.

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, 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.

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. 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.

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.

£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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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 :(

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.

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.

Do you remember the advertising campaign against ‘brand new customers only’ years ago?

somehow all of that was forgotten 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂

Within my account it says its being added for me too, as a current customer, and that nearer the time I'll be sent info on how to get logged in.

From the Sky website "Disney+ Standard with Ads will be included for new and existing Sky Ultimate TV and all Sky Q customers (except TV Essentials and Sky Basics). It's not included with any Sky+ packages."

"Millions of existing customers with Sky Q, Sky Stream or Sky Glass subscriptions will get "easy access" to the new line-up as standard"

We have Sky Q and got the email yesterday that they would be included in the package. We will pay the bit extra to upgrade to the non ads versions like we do with Netflix.

If I didn't have Sky and just used streamers rotated on a few months basis I probably wouldn't pay the £24 for the Sky bundle on its own as it's not so easy to dip in and out of or take advantage of offers. For current Sky customers it seems like a very good deal as we won't have to pay extra for it unless we want to upgrade and then it's just the difference.

I pay £0 and get none of that woke shite. It's bliss

Yes it’s not new customers only - being added to my subscription from March. I am very happy about it. I like Sky - yes the bills will go up at the end of your contract if you don’t phone to haggle, but then they also sometimes randomly give me discounts, last year they gave me a free extra SkyQ box for no apparent reason. I thought I was being scammed when they phoned me and asked if I wanted it!

Right, so existing customers will get it for £24 too, is that confirmed? I’m not with Sky btw, but might be interested as I do want to finally watch The Pitt on HBO plus the new Game of Thrones spin off etc.

If you have certain Sky packages it will be free, bundled with the package. If you just want HBO but not a bundle that Sky offers for £24 it should be available as a stand alone by the looks of it on five different plans, through HBO, so if you only want that I would probably look at all the options not just the Sky one. I would probably have a look at HBO Max website for best information.

We left Sky last year for a EE package and it’s great. Much more transparent pricing, an extra box was free (it had been £10 a month with SKY) and the package can be reduced down to the basic one at any time, and then have add-ons if needed.

I think Sky are having to cut prices a bit for existing customers on the pricy Q and other packages, we recently got a £10 a month discount on the multiroom mid contract, also this free bundle will save a bit of money for us, but us Sky customers are paying through the nose anyway, mainly for the convenience that Sky Q offers and I think like the TV licence many are cancelling as it's overpriced.

We pay about £15 per month for Netflix , now and Disney so dont think we will bother.
