Sky has launched a blockbuster new deal that’s perfect movie lovers.
Whether you want to stream the latest Hollywood blockbusters, exclusive films on Paramount+ or Netflix, or Sky Originals …this incredible bundle has everything you need for just £11. Yes, really.
If you’re still watching Sky TV using a satellite dish, better yet, this new package lets you ditch that cumbersome wiring for a sleek, Apple TV-like box called Sky Stream.
For film fans, this is one of the best Sky deals we’ve seen in a while. The new package is reserved for new customers and includes the latest Sky Stream set-top box, the Sky Entertainment package with access to 150 live channels and 500 on-demand boxsets, a Netflix subscription, Sky Cinema and Paramount+ subscription – all for just £11 in the first month.
It means you’ll never need to worry about missing the latest movies or must-binge series over the next 18 months. After the initial promotional period of £11 per month, the price of the package increases to £26 a month.
For those who missed the announcement, Sky Stream is the latest lightweight box from the satellite firm.
It streams everything over Wi-Fi, so there’s no need to drill a satellite dish into the outside wall of your house. All orders come with free next-day shipping, so you could be watching the latest Sky Cinema releases this time tomorrow.
In our Sky Stream review, the new box scored the full five stars for its modern user interface, support for every major streamer, intuitive voice controls, and small package that will fit in any room around your house. Sky Stream offers the same software experience as Sky Glass, with the latter simply wrapped up in a custom-designed telly from the team at Sky with a Dolby Atmos-capable soundbar, far-field microphone array for hands-free voice controls, and other perks.
If you’re considering upgrading to a new telly, our Sky Glass review has everything you need to know.
Sky Stream is the latest set-top box from the firm – a successor to the Sky Q system launched back in 2016.
This diddy device offers access to 100 paid-for channels you won’t find on Freeview, as well as the most popular terrestrial channels. Everything is beamed to your television in High Definition as standard – something Sky Q customers still need to pay extra for – without a satellite dish drilled into your walls or engineers trudging through your home.
Once ordered, Sky Stream arrives in the post with a step-by-step guide to get set-up and streaming in seconds. Trust us, even the biggest technophobe should cope with this simple DIY set-up: just plug it in, connect to your Wi-Fi, and the binge-watching begins!
Seriously, setting up Sky Stream takes less time than preparing the popcorn to enjoy with your movie once everything is up-and-running. Once you’ve installed Sky Stream, you’ll be treated to a gorgeous new on-screen menu design that looks and makes navigating around your TV incredibly easy.
Sky Stream ships with 100 live channels, 500 on-demand boxsets from HBO Max, Sky Originals, and Peacock, as well as a fully-fledged Netflix subscription to watch on your new box (and anywhere else with a Netflix app!).
Without a dish to rely upon, Sky Stream needs a pretty decent broadband connection. Everything you watch, including live television, is beamed via the internet, so you’ll need to check your Wi-Fi can take the strain before you place an order with Sky.
Sky recommends speeds of at least 10/15Mbps for a stutter-free experience, but that minimum requirement increases to around 25Mbps if you want to watch boxsets and blockbuster movies in stunning 4K.
If you’ve only able to get entry-level 38Mbps broadband in your property, you’re going to struggle to get a decent experience with Sky Stream – especially if you live in a busy house with lots of connected devices.
Sky customers can fit up to six Sky Stream boxes in a single home for multi-room viewing, but we’d definitely recommend broadband of at least 100Mbps before considering that option as each device will munch into your total bandwidth and things will soon start to stumble.
If you’re not a film fan, Sky is offering its Sky Stream box with 150 live channels, 500 on-demand boxsets from HBO and Sky Originals, and a Netflix subscription for free for the first 30-days of your new contract. But hurry – the deal isn’t around for long!
