Sky has issued an urgent warning telling fans to “hurry” if they want to watch everything on Sky TV and Netflix without paying a penny. Yes, it seems the mind-boggling 30-day free trial on its newest Sky Stream box won’t be around much longer as Sky has updated its website with a warning that says “HURRY – Offer Ends Tonight!”
Unfortunately, the deadline is fast apporaching for fans looking to take advantage of the deal to watch for the next 30-days at no cost …so those who want to binge exclusive series like Succession, The Last Of Us, House of the Dragon, as well as Netflix staples, including Bridgerton and Squid Game for £0 will need to add the incredible giveaway to their basket sooner rather than later.
Sky TV refreshes its latest crop of best Sky deals on a Friday morning, but it’s clear the 30-day free trial won’t be part of the next crop of discounts and deals. What a shame.
Fortunately, Sky includes free next-day delivery nationwide as standard with its latest set-top box, so you could be watching live and on-demand shows for free by this time tomorrow. And there’s no satellite dish needed either, with everything beamed over a Wi-Fi connection in up to 4K Ultra HD quality (depending on your broadband speeds).
The brilliant Sky Stream free trial lasts for one month. Cancel anytime during that period and you won’t be charged …but you will still be able to enjoy must-see shows from HBO, Sky Originals, and Netflix included with the package at no cost.
If you do decide to stick around after the free trial ends, you’ll pay £26 for an 18-month minimum contract with Sky Stream or £29 per month for a 30-day rolling contract (like the cancel-anytime contracts with Netflix and NOW TV). At that price, this Sky TV offer is a pretty solid deal …all thanks to the recent Netflix price rise for all UK subscribers.
Normally priced at £29 per month, the entry-level Sky Stream bundle arrives with 150 live channels, including Sky Atlantic, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky Comedy, Sky Nature, and Sky Max, and a full Netflix subscription. Sky Cinema and Sky Sports are optional extras. You can also pair Sky Stream with Sky Broadband if you don’t already have a speedy home internet connection.
For a limited time, you can sign-up for the Sky Stream free trial and cancel anytime to watch without paying – easily one of the best Sky deals we’ve ever come across!
As mentioned above, unlike traditional set-top boxes from Sky, the sleek new Sky Stream doesn’t need a satellite dish drilled into the outside of your house. Instead, everything is streamed over wired or wireless broadband.
All of the best Sky features are present and correct, so you’ll be able to pause and rewind live television, record series, and watch the latest Hollywood blockbusters and exclusive series in up to 4K Ultra HD quality. Stream arrives with apps for all of your favourite streaming services, including Disney Plus, Netflix, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Apple TV Plus, and many more.
Sky Stream runs on a 31-day rolling contract, like NOW (formerly NOW TV) and Netflix.
That means you can cancel at any time and won’t be charged for the following month. That’s helpful for those who don’t want to sign-up for an 18-month contract (like you need to do with Sky Q, which still requires a satellite dish to be affixed to your house).
It also means you can watch everything available with Sky TV for one month with the free trial, cancel anytime during the month, and pay nothing. Yes, you won’t be charged at all.
One of the biggest advantages of Sky Stream is the simple set-up.
Since there’s no satellite dish, you’ll only need to plug-in the box and connect to your wireless or wired broadband connection and you’ll have access to live channels – including over 150 channels not available on Freeview, on-demand boxsets from HBO, Sky Originals, Peacock and more, as well as catch-up services like BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All4, and streaming services including Disney Plus, Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV Plus, and fitness apps.
Based on your tastes, Sky Stream will recommend new shows from across all of these channels, catch-up and streaming apps, on the main menu. These suggestions are refreshed up to 5x each day, so you’ll get different recommended boxsets and films late in the evening, compared to when you switch on the telly over breakfast.
You can search for individual actors, directors, and famous movie quotes (“show me the money!” loads up Jerry Maguire, for example) using the voice search feature built into the remote control for speedy access to content.
We put all of these features – and many more – through their paces in our in-depth Sky Stream review.
As it stands, there is no deadline on the latest Sky Stream deal, but if you want to start watching as soon as possible, you should add to your shopping basket without delay. We’ll update this article if Sky decides to pull the deal …something it has done in the past when offering free access to its premium telly service for free!
