Recently, we\u2019ve seen a rise in boxes that let you watch all of your favourite shows, no matter the streaming service, all in one place. The latest addition to this group is Virgin Media\u2019s Stream<\/a>, a TV box that allows Virgin Media broadband customers to group their subscriptions into one monthly payment. But what is the point of them? And is Sky Q worth it?<\/p>\n Well, it makes sense to have all of your channels, apps and subscriptions in one place. This way, it\u2019s simple to flick between them, in comparison to having to close one app and open another. Now, we\u2019re not saying that\u2019s particularly strenuous, but it can\u2019t hurt to make life a little easier either.<\/p>\n With the introduction of new products like Sky Glass<\/a> joining the ever-expanding Sky family, it can be easy to keep track of exactly what each product does. And, which are worth your money. Here\u2019s our comprehensive guide on what is Sky Q, how much it costs and whether it\u2019s worth the investment.<\/p>\n Buy Sky Q from \u00a326 a month<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Sky Q is effectively where you can see your services, apps, and channels all in one place. It allows you to flick between Sky TV, Netflix, Disney Plus and whatever else you fancy.<\/p>\n It launched in 2016 to replace Sky\u2019s current services, Sky+ and Sky+ HD. It\u2019s a multimedia platform which combines your usual telly with on-demand and catch-up services, such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and All4, and third-party apps like YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and Spotify.<\/p>\n The standard Sky Q box supplied with any Sky TV package is the Sky Q 1TB<\/a>. It comes with 1TB of storage (1 terabyte is equal to 1000 gigabytes), so you have plenty of space to record your favourite shows, including Sky Originals like I Hate Suzie<\/a> and Gangs of London<\/a>, and you can record on up to three channels at once. You can also pause and rewind live TV \u2013 perfect for you Sky Sports customers out there.<\/p>\n Does Sky Q come with a Sky Q Mini box? It doesn\u2019t. If you\u2019d like to watch telly in Ultra HD, you\u2019ll have to pay \u00a312 to upgrade, and that\u2019s the same with watching videos on more than one screen. If you want to access your Sky subscription on more than one TV at once, you\u2019ll need to sign up for Sky Multiscreen for \u00a315. You\u2019ll then receive one Sky Q Mini box to put in a second room, and if you\u2019re after more than one box (you\u2019re allowed up to four per household), it\u2019ll be an extra \u00a350 per box.<\/p>\n Sky Q comes with a voice-controlled remote, too. If you\u2019re stuck for something to watch, you can ask: \u201cWhat shall I watch?\u201d, and it\u2019ll suggest films and shows for you to view depending on your past searches \u2013 clever, right?<\/p>\n Buy Sky Q from \u00a326 a month<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The signature Sky bundle is \u00a326 a month for an 18-month contract, including a one-off \u00a320 set-up fee. It used to be \u00a338 per month, so that\u2019s a saving of \u00a312! With this, you can enjoy over 300 channels, including Sky documentary channels and Sky Box Sets.<\/p>\n Buy the Sky signature bundle for \u00a326 a month<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Is Netflix included with Sky Q? Yes \u2013 you can watch Netflix in your Sky deal! In 2019, Sky teamed up with Netflix to offer the subscription service with Sky Q for just \u00a33 per month, much cheaper than the standard Netflix subscription, which currently starts at \u00a36.99 per month.<\/p>\n Get Netflix with your Sky Q subscription<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Ultra HD is an extra \u00a312 a month on a 31 day rolling contract. To watch your favourite shows on multiple TVs, a subscription to Sky Multiscreen (an extra \u00a315 per month) will get you one Sky Q Mini box. If you\u2019d like to enjoy Sky on even more TVs (you\u2019re allowed up to four screens), an extra Mini box will set you back \u00a350.<\/p>\n You can customise your Sky Q package with optional extras, such as Sky Sports for \u00a320 a month (down from \u00a332!), Sky Cinema for \u00a312 a month (also reduced from \u00a319!), and Disney Plus for an additional \u00a37.99 a month.<\/p>\n Save money on Sky Cinema and Sky Sports with a Sky Q subscription<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n How can you buy Sky Q? Simply head over to the Sky website<\/a>, click on \u2018Sky Q<\/a>\u2019 in the top bar, tap \u2018Get started<\/a>\u2019, then add more of what you love and begin building your package.<\/p> Two of the most important questions you can ask when making a purchase are: How much is it? And is it worth the price? In this case, how much is Sky Q? And is Sky Q worth it?<\/p>\n In our opinion, Sky Q is worth it. Mostly based on the fact that you can build your package exactly how you like, so you\u2019re only spending as much money as you want to.<\/p>\n The Sky signature bundle is \u00a326 a month \u2013 reduced from \u00a338 \u2013 then it\u2019s up to you what extras you add. However, with over 100 channels not on Freeview, including Sky Atlantic and Sky Max, and 500 box sets on demand, such as Parks and Recreation, Brassic and Chernobyl, this bundle is a great starting point.<\/p>\n Save \u00a312 on your Sky Q subscription<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Sky customers can also enjoy the Sky Go app<\/a> for absolutely free! Designed for both iOS and Android devices, Sky Go lets you stream and download TV, films and sport, including live TV and sport, so you\u2019ll never miss a moment of your favourite videos when you\u2019re out and about. For Sky Sports customers, this is particularly great, as you\u2019ll never miss out on a match. You can also watch the shows you\u2019ve recorded at home on the Sky Go app.<\/p>\n Is Sky Q any good? We certainly think so. Rather than fight against streaming services like Disney+ or Netflix, Sky Q has integrated them into its service. And the apps are easy to find, too. In fact, the whole service is straightforward to use. It gets a thumbs up from us!<\/p>\n For more technology guides, head over to our best UK streaming services<\/a> guide. Looking for a saving?
