Sky Stream: The simpler way to enjoy Sky TV

Our Sky review

What is Sky Stream?

Sky Stream is essentially a small box that plugs straight into any TV, providing you access to all the Sky content you are subscribed to. All you need is a WiFi connection, no satellite dish is required! 

How much is Sky Stream?

The Sky Ultimate TV & Netflix basic package that Sky offers its customers will stay at just £26 a month when Sky Stream releases, but if you don’t fancy signing up to the 24-month contract, users can pay £29 a month for the same package on a rolling monthly basis. 

See the prices of each add-on below: 

• Sky Cinema: £13 a month (31-day rolling) or £10 a month (24-month contract)
• Sky Sports: £27 a month (31-day rolling) or £20 a month (24-month contract) 
• TNT Sports: £28 a month (31-day rolling)
• Sky Kids: £6 a month (31-day rolling)
• UHD and Dolby Atmos: £6 a month (31-day rolling)

To watch your Sky content on other TVs around your home, an extra Sky puck with the Whole Home Package will cost an extra £12 a month, with five additional pucks available per Sky subscription.

What resolution can I watch with Sky Stream?

Your standard Sky Stream package comes ready for you to watch in HD, with UHD available as an add-on at an additional cost. 

How do I set up Sky Stream?

Plug the Sky Stream box into a power socket and then into an HDMI output on your television. All you need to do next is connect Sky Stream to your WiFi network and you’re good to go. Sky does say that a minimum of 25Mbps is required for Sky Stream to function. 

Can you record on Sky Stream?

Any show you want to catch up on will require you to stream it from the appropriate On Demand or catch-up service - there is no hard drive for customers to record programmes or movies and store them. The Sky Q satellite service remains the choice for Sky customers who want to keep the ability to be able to record.
