Sounds like you're getting ripped off atm... Sky cinema is £10, not sure why you're paying double. You can get Sky, Netflix and UHD for £32 with Sky Stream. It's worse than Sky Q but I've got used to it.
is there a thread for sky stream? I’m out of contract with a dish - been looking at stream, but not overly convinced and I can “try before you buy”Main motivation is to get hd/uhd in more than one room, which q doesn’t do.

Is there any way to get the F1 (in HD) without all the other sports package? It is £30 a month and I only use it for F1, 9 months of the year.
Our package is £127.505 a month so need to get it reduced significantly. I really like the Sky Q interface though so don't want to switch to Virgin/BT etc. What's the chances of getting this at a significantly lower price? It was £77 in 2022.

are you out of contract? The £74 sky stream deal for everything inc uhd will revert to a higher price in 18 months time and the bloke on the phone said give us a call before it expires to renegotiate.
Main reason I've never upgraded for a very very long time is because I was still on the sky f1 legacy deal if you paid for HD (as i dont watch any other sports) - but i seemed to have got a full upgrade for essentially what i was paying before for far less.
Went from SKY+ with multiroom, family pack with HD (which included F1) for £71 to sky stream everything(cinema, sports) ,multiroom, uhd for £74.

I’ve just left Sky (although like you i much prefer their interface) and signed upto Virgin which should be installed at the end of the month.
With Sky i had pretty much all the channels except the kids ones, 150mb internet, extra box and phone, were paying £98 but was about to go upto £130. Looked at Virgin and got all the channels, 500mb internet and an O2 simcard (useful for eldest who is at the age he wants a phone) plus second box for £80. Bear in mind that the O2 contract is £25 of that, really cant complain about all the channels and pretty decent internet speed for £55
Called Sky, they couldnt match or get anywhere near so unfortunately im going to have to deal with Virgins crappy interface.

Was out of contract, rung and changed to Sky stream
77/month for full package (inc top Netflix) for 4 pucks
I've had no problems with Stream in the year and a half I've been using it.77/month for full package (inc top Netflix) for 4 pucks
I think it's a great bit of kit.
I only have a 20Mb download speed and no fibre in our street, would that be enough?

Does Sky stream allow you to record/series link shows?

it doesn’t have any way to record/ save to the device, it does only ‘stream’ all content. you add programmes/ series to your ‘playlist’, then when you watch one it just remembers the last episode you watched or where you were on a show and picks up from there (just like netflix) I only have a 20Mb download speed and no fibre in our street, would that be enough?
i’ve not had any issues with my stream box and had it 4/5months now. it seems to work even if you start something a bit delayed (think football match or f1 race) so when i click to watch it gives the option to ‘watch live’ or start from the beginning
no idea on minimum internet speed tho
