How to access Netflix as a Sky+ user?

To take advantage of new cheaper rates  I recently renewed my Sky subscription which comes with Netflix - the Sky operative told me this would be £5 a month (might be £4, can't remember which and there's no charge shown on my bill for it).  I don't want a Q box installed yet as I want to remain with my Sky+ at least until all the recorded programs have been watched (some are a few years old and cannot be downloaded now).


Hope you can help with a few questions related to Netflix: 

     How can I watch Netflix without using a Sky Q box?  My TV has a Netflix app, but how can I    
     logon to that using my Sky credentials?

     My current bill, and the next two months proposed bills shown in My Sky don't include a charge

     for Netflix.  Is Netflix included in the cost of Sky Signature (for which I'm paying £20/month), or

     will I see an  extra amount on my bill for this once I logon to Netflix?

 

     If I can't access Netflix directly on my TV, or simply don't want it, can I cancel it without a penalty charge?

thanks

Isn't it Sky Ultimate that includes Netflix basic? I don't believe that Sky Signature does (I have Sky Signature). 

Either way, it's not possible for Sky+HD box customers to receive it @Another+One @.

It is Sky Ultimate and not Sky Signature:

 

Ultimate TV includes the Netflix Basic plan (1 screen + SD) as standard
You can upgrade to Netflix Standard (2 screens + HD) by adding the HD pack
You can upgrade to Netflix Premium (4 screens + UHD/HDR) by adding the Ultra HD pack (requires the HD pack first)

 

And not via Sky+.

@caesarome @oj01  your both correct, I always get this wrong because as you can see from image below, the website seems to indicate that ultimate is included with Sky signature, hence why I said what I said by default
