Interesting email I got today;

Hello Paul,

A Google search found this ;

They’re offering the basic tiers with adverts. It looks like you can fiddle about with your separate ad-free subscriptions (if you have them) to get them integrated into your Sky subscription for a reduction in the price quoted by Sky, but it looks to me like their intended audience is people who aren’t especially bothered by Disney+ etc but will go for this package for an extra few quid on the basis of perceived added value.

Beneath it all, it seems we’re still in the days of people thinking one service is better than another based on the number of channels it has (regardless of whether you’d ever watch any of them).

With the D+ offer. You get the basic 5.99 tier free but can upgrade to the others and save 5.99 off them. So standard is then 4 a month and premium is £9 a month.

It also seems to mention you can do that with HBO Max.

Re: Sky to include Disney+ & HBO Max
 

HBO is also included with the Now TV Entertainment pack and is the only streamer that i've had any interest in.

When Virgin say that I must change to the 360, that I don't want, I will either change over to Sky or downgrade to the most basic Virgin TV sub and subscribe to Now. As channels have gradually closed or gone to the basic pack because they have become free elsewhere, there isn't anything that i'd lose.

Re: Sky to include Disney+ & HBO Max
 

Don’t forget that HBO Max will be on Virgin as well. I’ve just got a deal which trims back my channels and relies on streaming. I’m well happy and I no longer subscribe to all those channels I don’t want. And I still have the same choice of content that I watch.

If you are thinking of changing to Sky, just bear in mind that the lifespan of Sky Q is limited. Soon, the choice will be between Sky Glass and Sky Stream.

There’s no escape from progress.

Based on what exactly ?
Once again you seem to think Q can only do Satellite. I watch Paramount+ and Prime on my Q box.
I could also do Disney+ (and soon, HBO Max). Plus, of course, the football streamed to Sky Sports+

Re: Sky to include Disney+ & HBO Max
 

As you well know, I was referring to the TV channels. Sky is phasing out the Sky Q box and they are no longer advertising it’s availability, although for the time being it’s still available if you ask for it.

Re: Sky to include Disney+ & HBO Max
 

Activated my free Disney+ via Sky Q this evening.

Re: Sky to include Disney+ & HBO Max
 

The Sky information on that link above doesn’t mention Paramount+. I thought that was part of the package - Paramount+ free with ads.

Re: Sky to include Disney+ & HBO Max
 

It is free if you have Sky Cinema.

Re: Sky to include Disney+ & HBO Max
 

As Stephen notes, you get that with Sky Cinema, thats been the case for quite a while, I got it free a couple of years ago now.
The best part was that it lasted for a year, even though I cancelled the Sky Cinema after 2/3 months.

Re: Sky to include Disney+ & HBO Max
 

The free HBO Max turned up yesterday, thats also now working ok, tested it with an episode of Fringe last night.
