![]() ![]() ![]() The basic Sky package, which is mandatory for Stream, is Sky Ultimate, which includes Sky Entertainment (a pack of channels like Sky Atlantic, Sky Max and others), Freeview, and the basic Netflix plan which only has SD content (but will be upgraded to 720p in November). When you order Sky Stream, you also need to pay for the device itself – a “setup fee” of £39.95 (but that fee is often waived by Sky). But you CAN also go for the 18-month contract – and that will lower your monthly subscription costs. The basic contract is a 31-day rolling contract which you can cancel at any time without penalty charges. Unlike Sky’s dish-based solutions (such as Sky Q and older), and similarly to Sky Glass, Sky Stream doesn’t require a long-term contract. ![]() Once you sign up for Sky’s service, you get all of Sky’s channels (as well as 3rd party channels and some Freeview channels) via broadband – much like you do on streaming services like Netflix and Disney+.Īnd in addition to Sky’s own channels, Stream also has apps for most of the major streaming services available in the UK – Amazon’s Prime Video, Netflix, Paramount+ and more. Unlike Sky Q and Sky’s older boxes in the UK, Sky Stream doesn’t use a satellite dish – instead, it relies on broadband (via WiFi or Ethernet), and streams all the content to the box, much like other streaming devices ( Amazon’s Fire TV, Roku, and Google’s Chromecast).Īnd unlike Sky Glass, where you have to buy and pay for a new TV – Sky Stream can be connected to any TV in your house (and you can get more than one, for different rooms). Sky Stream is a small, standalone 4K streaming box and service that you connect to your TV via an HDMI cable. Keep in mind that Stream is a new(ish) device for Sky, therefore things are bound to change or get updated in the coming months and years – so I’ll try to keep this guide as updated as possible. We gathered some frequently asked questions about Sky Stream that we’ve been getting from Cord Busters’ readers (and from my own experience, having used Sky Stream for months) – and so I created this ultimate guide, with everything you need to know about Sky’s streaming puck. How much does Sky Stream cost exactly? Can you travel with it or use it in another family member’s house? Can you record on it? And what happens to Stream if you unsubscribe from Sky? But it also brings with it a lot of changes and questions from potential users. Sky’s standalone streaming device, Sky Stream, marks a big shift for Sky, by letting customers sign up without a long-term contract and without needing a dish. ![]()
