Hi,
I have had Sky Q for the last, I think, 2 years (certainly longer than 18 months anyway) and in that time the price has constantly increased to the point where it now costs £91.00 per month for a two-box setup (Sky Q + mini-box) and is too expenses, especially with electric prices escalating. We need to cut costs so Sky Q is the obvious one.
I do not really watch a lot of Sky Q myself, most of my viewing is NetFlix (which we subscribe to now via Sky), Amazon Video and Disney+. My parents, on the other, hand use Sky a lot to watch the soaps and dramas as well as sport for my dad.
My parents use the mini-box and I have the Sky Q box upstairs. We currently have a multiscreen package with Sky Sports HD and Sky Signature plus the Ultra HD upgrade but not the Cinema or Kids packages. We also do not have Sky Broadband as I live in an area where we cannot get that.
We want to downgrade the package but not outright cancel Sky Q since I realise that they would take the boxes and we would be at the mercy of Freeview, which has never been very good or reliable where we live (I cannot get the Freeview HD channels anymore for example) so I really do not want to be stuck with watching BBC or ITV live in standard definition on a 55" 4K TV.
I checked the Sky site and, as expected, we can upgrade the package via the website but not downgrade it!!! Clearly, they do not want people just downgrading or cancelling the package without a chance for them to persuade you to keep it or offer you some terrific deal that you would not have otherwise got if you hadn't rung (and my some miracle actually got through to speak to someone). That is disgraceful in itself but that's not what this thread is about.
What is the minimum HD package you get and how much does it cost per month?
We want to keep the basic terrestrial channels (BBC, ITV) and also keep the NetFlix subscription we have through Sky as well. I would also like to keep Sky One (or whatever it's called now) for future series such as House of the Dragon. We really just want to cancel Sky Sports and the Ultra HD sub. I was unable to find this information (unsurprisingly) on the Sky website as there's no way to tailor the package you have and see how much the revised one would cost.
Thanks.
