The end of my Sky TV era

tt2505

Well, it’s finally happened today, our Sky TV contract is over.
multi room & apps are no more, although because we still have the ‘Q’ equipment I’m hoping we can still watch, record & pause until the packaging arrives to return it?! 

As others have previously posted, in over 20 years as a Sky customer this has been the absolute worst negotiating, they simply aren’t budging! Once out of contract in January our £31.50 (signature, netflix, multi room) bill increased by 50% & of course would rise again circa 6% in April. I know it sounds petty, but we rarely watch any of the Sky channels, more Netflix & Prime (which we have through Amazon account)  £10+ a week just to have the functionality to pause & record seems OTT 😳

I left Sky last month - my packaging arrived on the last day of my contract  . However, they do give you three months to return it.....

How are you coping without or have you gone to another provider?

I've taken out a Netflix subscription and I dip in and out of a Discovery+/TNT Sports monthly subscription if there is any football/rugby I want to watch. I never had Sky Movies and I'm not much of a film buff so I haven't missed those.

I bought a Freesat box to hook up to the satellite disband I can record any programmes I need to on that.

All in all I'm  happy with my decision.

Great 🙌 I have thought to get Netflix when I start to miss it. Is the freesat box easy enough for old dinosaurs to set up?
