    For me it didn't go to offering a Sky Glass TV but gave two options for a 24 month contract at £26 per month and £29 per month on a rolling contract. 
    If you took out all the options then it would cost £95 per month, cheapest options, but the prices can change during the 24 month period. You then have to add £169.50, about £14.13 per month, to that to pay for a TV licence so it would be nearly £110 per month. The cheapest option is £481.50 per year, including the TV licence for the  but the dearest option ifs £1380 plus the TV licence. 
    On a 30 day rolling plan it would cost £1368 plus £169.50 a total of just under £1538 for a year. I would never pay for a Sky Glass TV as I believe them to be overpriced and you can get a decent 5.1 or 7.1 setup for cheaper than the 55" sky glass TV. 
    Someone please tell me what money is

    SKY STREAM Offer
    Tried the to get the offer (not a Sky subscriber) but if you refuse the broadband offer on the last page they suddenly have "Technical Issues". Waste of time.

    sounds very suchlike Sky - always a pain to deal with!

    To be fair, we have had Stream now for over 6 mon the and much prefer it to the old dish system - the way you watch stuff through things like player instead of recording isn't quite as good but it is still far better than having a dish stuck on the house and wiring everywhere.
    Mortgage free!
    Debt free!

    And now I am retired - all the time in the world!!

    I actually don't mind the dish or wires as they are minimal in here so Sky Q is better for us.

    I have tried both systems.......Sky Stream & Sky Q box
    Sky Q is far superior, ability to record. Faster response and access to favourite channels is much easier. Never will have stream again
