Netflix on Sky - usage/downloads available?

Hi we’re looking to get a cheaper fibre/tv deal. Currently with virgin on their 130mb fibre service and basic tv package which they no longer offer. We also pay for Netflix - basic hd package (so just 1 screen at a time and we can download programmes to 1 device at a time too). Current £52 per month for virgin and £7 per month for Netflix. 

looking at the sky Black Friday deals for 18 months, and wondering if the Netflix basic service is the same as the one we currently pay for? Ie, I know it’s 1 screen at a time, but will we also be able to download shows to our mobiles/tablets to watch while travelling/away from home for example?

Looking at £38 per month with Sky but want to ensure we’re getting the same Netflix service - not the ads one. It’s not very clear on Sky’s website what you actually get by way of Netflix.

    If you get HD with Sky (yes, it's an extra) you get access to 2 devices at a time, paying for Ultra HD for the 4K content upgrades Netflix to 4 screens and ultra. I never even knew you could download on Netflix so not sure on that.

    You are paying too much for a single Netflix screen.
