We keep a keen eye on the latest and best Sky TV packages to make sure we're always recommending the best Sky deals currently available. So if there's a Sky TV deal to be had, you'll hear all about it here.
Without wishing to rain on your parade, Sky was running some pretty sublime offers over Black Friday (50% off most Sky TV packages), which have now come to an end. But there are still some eye-catching offers on that you can take advantage of.
And if you're looking to add a Sky broadband deal with your TV bundle, we've got you sorted there, too!
Step 1: Start with the basic Sky TV package
Everyone who signs up for Sky TV has to begin with the basic Sky package. From there you can add the extras like Kids channels, Movies and Sky Sports etc.
We've outlined this basic package for you below so if you're planning on opting for the cheapest option, the below deal. For everyone else, you can scroll down and pick from the latest deals on Sky Q, Sky Movies, Sky Sports etc.
The great news is that even the basic 'Endless Entertainment' plan comes with Netflix bundled in. So you're already benefitting from thousand more boxsets and films.
Sky TV & Netflix | £40 setup fee | £25 a month
For a flat rate of £25 a month you're getting over 100 Sky channels including Sky Comedy, Sky Atlantic, Sky Sports News, Fox, MTV, National Geographic and many more. And if that isn't enough, you get Netflix access, too!
Just to give you a taste of what these channels include, you'd be able to watch one of the most popular HBO shows ever - Chernobyl, as well as Modern Family, Game of Thrones, Parks and Recreation, Watchmen and many more. Considering Netflix normally costs from £8.99 on its own, the cost here is excellent.View Deal
Step 2: Check for relevant Sky TV deals
If you want to check out all of the latest Sky packages you can go straight to the Sky website. But most people that aren't satisfied with the basic plan are likely to want a combination of three add-ons: Sky Sports, Sky Cinema or Sky with Broadband.
For the biggest savings, you have to go all in with a Sky TV and broadband deal. So if you're able to switch broadband provider then you're in the box seat for the best deals.
The good news for everyone is that as a new customer, once you purchase a Sky TV package, the Sky Q 1TB box comes as part of the bundle. So you don't need to worry about having to purchase the device separately.
And if you're wondering what a Sky Q is and whether you need it or not, just keep reading as we explain this all below.
Sky TV & Netflix + Sky Sports | £40 setup fee | £39 a month
This maxed-out Sky Sports package is usually £30 alone, so a 50% reduction with this deal takes a hefty chunk off. You'll pay £39/pm all-in for the usual Sky channels, plus access to exclusive football, F1, golf, NFL, cricket and much, much more.

What is Sky Q and do I need it?
Sky Q is a subscription that allows you to seamlessly stream and record in 4K , across multiple screens (depending if you purchase a 1TB or a 2TB Sky Q box). To access Sky Q you need a Sky Q 1TB or a Sky QTB box. If you need more information make sure you check out our Sky Q review.
All basic Sky TV packages come with a Sky Q subscription but this doesn't include HD - for an extra £5 per month you can get HD.
Now if you're deciding if you should pick between a Sky Q 1TB or a Sky Q 2TB box all we can tell you is that the 2TB box costs start from £50 (one-off) but they do come with a few benefits. These include being able to record six shows at once instead of three, while watching a seventh, you'd also get the fancier Sky Q Touch remote control, an extra tablet allowance, and you'll be able to enjoy select channels in Ultra HD.
And if you don't want it to be all or nothing there are also options to buy a 1TB Sky Q box and a mini box. Whichever you decide to get, we recommend visiting the Sky website to check out all the Sky Q boxes options and pick the ideal one for you.
What HD Channels do I get on Sky TV?
Sky's basic package gives you over 300 channels, including TV's familiar favorites such as BBC One, ITV, Channel 4, MTV, Sky Atlantic, Comedy Central and many more!
In terms of HD, with all packages you get at least the standard free to air HD channels. To be honest you also get a fair few of these with standard Freeview HD. If you sign up for Sky Sports, there's no longer an extra fee to be paid to get them in HD as the channels now show in High Definition by default.
And if you get the extra HD add-on for £5 a month you'd be getting 35+ all Sky channels in HD! Below, are all the channels that come in HD without the added £5 a month.
