    Anyone here have the Sky Q TV essentials? (Not to be confused with Essential TV)… The one priced between £5-£15 which is basically a free view service with Pause, Fwd, rewind functionality. 

    I wondered if you still get the free view channels in HD and does catch up TV with the free view channels still included?

    More than one screen
    Sorry - its a device that allows you to watch TV on a bedroom TV (Rather than via a cable)

    If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    Cancelled my Sky subscription last month and tomorrow will be last day. Spoke to them several times including today. Best they are offering for Sky Q is:
    - Signature £25.50
    - Cinema £7.00
    - HD £4.00

    It does still seem steep to me... Any thoughts?
  • I got offered the same deal for Signature and HD. Told them no thanks and now 7 days into cancellation.  No communication or offers so far.
    Checked all my apps for programs I have marked to watch....at the rate I watch I have at least 6 months waiting for me so no massive loss . Will miss the record function but the apps cover most.
    What really got me is the loss of Eurosport.  The "cheeky" person said he would be happy to add £30 for TNT.
    No thanks!!!
