Can I get Netflix on Sky Glass?
Since Sky launched its own TV that doesn’t require a satellite dish, you don’t have to get Sky through the traditional Sky Q set-top box.
Now that the new Sky Essential TV package has been introduced, Netflix is available on Sky Glass with prices starting from £29pm without discounts – that’s £14pm for the TV and £15 for Sky Essential TV with Netflix. There’s also a £20 deposit, and you’ll pay more if you choose Sky Ultimate TV.

Can I get Netflix on Sky Stream?
With Sky’s most flexible and cheapest product yet, Sky Stream, you can get all the benefits of this TV package without a satellite dish by connecting a box to the back of your existing TV. The Sky Stream, Sky TV and Netflix subscription starts from £15 per month with a permanent contract of 18 months, or €18 per month with a continuous contract of 31 days.
That’s for the Essential TV package. If you want Ultimate TV for more Sky channels, that starts from £28 per month on an 18-month permanent contract and £31 per additional on a monthly rolling contract. However, discounts on this option are available all year round.
There are also packages available that bundle Sky Cinema and Sky Sports. For new customers, a setup fee of €39.95 applies, on which you can receive a discount all year round.

Can I watch Netflix in Ultra HD on Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream?
Both Sky Essential TV and Sky Ultimate TV give you Netflix Standard with ads. This allows you to enjoy unlimited streaming and downloads of the full range of Netflix series, films and shows on one device. However, there are advertisements.
If you want Netflix Standard ad-free on two devices, you’ll have to pay an extra £6 per month. If you want the Netflix Premium tier, which means you can watch in Ultra HD and on four devices, it will cost an extra £23.00.
Please note: these are the prices for Sky Glass and Stream. On Sky Q these costs are slightly different. Netflix Standard costs an extra £10.50 per month, while Premium costs an extra £15.50 per month. That’s still discounted if you’ve only signed up for Netflix, but of course more expensive than the other two Sky products.

How does billing work with Netflix on Sky?
If you already have a Netflix subscription, all you need to do is sign in to Sky with your existing details.
Sky will then contact Netflix and do all the paperwork so you can pay for Netflix via your Sky bill. Sky says you’ll save money compared to purchasing your subscriptions separately.
This is because Netflix itself costs £4.99pm, £10.99pm or £17.99pm for Standard with ads, Standard and Premium.
If you get them from Sky, it costs nothing for Standard with Ads, £6 per month for Standard on Glass/Stream and £11 per month for Premium on Glass/Stream. As mentioned above, Sky Q customers pay extra for the Netflix Standard and Premium subscriptions: £10.50 and £15.50 respectively.
Use Netflix on Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream
At its simplest, you can just load the Netflix app into the Sky interface (found under ‘Apps’ on Sky Glass) and use it as you would on any other device. You can load the app with Sky’s voice search and use it for voice search within Netflix.
Integration means you can also see and access Netflix content from across the Sky interface. So you’ll see Netflix shows like Squid Game alongside Sky content on the home screen, as well as other areas like On Demand (above).
If you’re using Netflix on Sky Glass, make sure you open and log in to the app directly on your TV, rather than on a Stream Puck for secondary devices in your household.

What should I do if I have Sky Box sets?
You can keep your current package, but you can’t sign up for a new Netflix account as part of the subscription. You also cannot take advantage of combined billing. However, you can still log in to your Sky device and use an existing Netflix account.
Do I keep my Netflix profile on Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream?
Yes. If you already have a Netflix account, logging in will retain your account information, including your personal profiles and any programs you watch, etc.
Sky says: “Just follow the link after you place your order and we’ll move it straight away, and you won’t be billed twice.”
How do I activate Netflix on Sky?
You can activate Netflix on your Sky device via the user interface – just open Netflix and follow the instructions – or do it online via www.sky.com/activatenetflix.
Can I watch Netflix via Sky apps?
In a word: no. You can continue to use the Netflix app on devices such as your phone and tablet. Sky Go remains separate.
