Just remember to cancel during the 31-day free trial...

Looking for the cheapest way to stream live television channels, documentaries, and boxsets from Sky TV?

While NOW TV usually has the most affordable deals to watch all of this exclusive content ...the latest offer from Sky TV makes the £6.99 a month cost for the NOW Entertainment Membership look overpriced! That's because you can watch live and on-demand content from Sky TV and Netflix on Sky Stream for free.


During the 31 day trial period, you'll be able to stream everything in the Sky Entertainment & Netflix bundle, including HBO shows like Chernobyl, Euphoria, Game of Thrones, The White Lotus and Succession, and original Sky TV series like Brassic, Rob and Romesh vs... and Never Mind The Buzzcocks. You'll also be able to watch over 100 live television channels not available on Freeview, or its successor, Freely.

Cancel anytime during the trial period, and you'll pay nothing.

Sky Stream is the latest generation of hardware from the UK broadcaster and offers access to 100 live television channels not available on Freeview, or its successor, Freely, a rotating catalogue of 10,000 hours of boxsets, and built-in apps for Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Paramount+, Disney+, ITVX, BBC iPlayer, and many more. As you'd expect from Sky TV, you can pause and rewind live television.

There's no need for an aerial or satellite dish since everything is streamed over Wi-Fi. That means you'll be able to place the Sky Stream set-top box anywhere in your home as along as it has a decent Wi-Fi signal. Sky Stream supports voice controls, 4K Ultra HD picture quality, and Dolby Atmos sound.

As you watch shows, movies, and sports on Sky Stream, the system will begin to learn your tastes and suggest new series, live events, and films that it thinks you'll like. With the Sky Go app, you can take your series and movies on journeys on an iPhone, iPad, or Android phone or tablet.

After the free trial period, if you want to continue watching, you'll be switched to either a £28 or £31 per month contract. While the former has a minimum contract period of 24-months, the latter is a 31-day rolling contract, like you'll get with Netflix or NOW (formerly NOW TV), so you can cancel anytime or switch between the channels in your TV bundle, adding Sky Cinema or Sky Sports, every few weeks.

If you want to catch up on exclusive series that you might've missed from Sky (The Last Of Us, Euphoria, Gangs of London) and Netflix (Bridgerton, Stranger Things, Squid Game) over the next few weeks without paying, stop reading and sign up for the month-long Sky Stream free trial now.

But if you want Sky Stream for a longer period, there's a much better deal available for GB News viewers.

Using our link, you can unlock Sky Stream for just £20 per month. Unfortunately, there's no free trial period this time around, but you'll spend just £480 in total over the course of an 24-month contract.

That's £233 less than it would cost to watch with a 31-day rolling contract over the same period. Even if you pick the more affordable £28 per month deal available from the Sky website, that totals £644 — an extra £164.

Our hidden Sky Stream deal isn't available on the Sky Store without our link. We've got a full breakdown of the costs of each of these monthly plans below, so you can choose the right offer for you.

Since there's no satellite dish, you won't need to book an engineer appointment to get started with Sky Stream. Sky offers next-day delivery at no extra cost. When the diddy set-top box arrives, you'll need to plug it into a power outlet and then connect to Wi-Fi or ethernet and follow the prompts on-screen.

Sky recommends a minimum broadband speed of 25Mbps to watch live television, on-demand boxsets, and films. Sky Stream offers High Definition (HD) as standard, although you can upgrade to 4K Ultra HD.
