Sky Stream with existing EE Netflix Basic smart benefit

Robb0 — Sat, 01 Jun 2024 06:18:27 GMT

I'm a new sky stream customer and just about to activate it. I currently have Netflix Basic as a Smart Benefit on my mobile EE. This allows me to watch Netflix without any ads.

if I sign into Netflix with Sky Stream will it take over the Basic (which no longer exists), for the Netflix Standard with Ads.

In short - will I start to see ads in Netflix.

Yes ... if you use your current account ... create another Netflix account and link that to your Sky account🤔

No you will not, if you are using the same email address with EE and Sky, Netflix will see the plan without ads (which is now no longer available) as the higher plan and you will stay on the plan you have with EE. I can speak from confidence as I was In a similar position.

Although, you must not link the Sky and the Netflix accounts?

I doubt he would be able to due to it being done via EE though I could be wrong.

Nope you can link the sky and Netflix accounts, as you can link the EE and Netflix same account. I have EE and Sky linked to the same Netflix account. Netflix will take the priority from the higher subscription and show that. I am in this position so can talk from a factual position

Thanks for the replies. I will try linking with my main Netflix and see what happens then. Worse comes to worse I just change the activiation on my EE benefit to a fresh account. Does it remain 720?

@Robb0 at least you have a plan you are happy with🙂

Just by way of update - @Anonymous is correct in that there doesn't appear to be ads therefore my basic plan from ee has pulled through. Although with the 4k ui, the 720 looks quite bad now and I'm wondering if 1080 with ads would actually be better . Haha.

Have you checked you Netflix account to see who the Billing partner is?

@Exiled-in-HH - it says billed through EE package. Basic HD

If you switch to a Sky service Sky will takeover that account and you'll have to create a new account for the EE service🤔

@Exiled-in-HH not quite sure what you mean. I've logged into Netflix on sky stream using my main Netflix account (with ee basic) . I just selected the £0 with ads option. However it didn't change my sub which still shows as payable by EE.

If you change to no ads😉

@Exiled-in-HH Stop confusing the OP.

OP upgrade to no ads version with EE, its only £3 extra rather than the £6 that sky charge.

@Anonymous just commenting on @Robb0 suggesting that @Robb0 might Upgrade via Sky😉

Confusing @Robb0 well NO🤔

@Exiled-in-HH @He is already receiving the No ads version with EE at no cost. They still offer this as their free base offering unlike Sky, which is why it sits above basic with ad version. That's why your confusing him.

EE - Basic 720p 1 screen £0

EE - Full HD 2 screens £3 extra

EE - 4K - £10 extra

So it would not be a good idea to switch billing to Sky😉

As @Robb0 was considering🤔

I had the same thing, ad free Netflix with EE and then a basic account offered through sky. I called Netflix they said to set up the sky account with a different email address and then log in, go to settings and sign out and then sign in with my EE account. They also said it's a shame to waste the sky account so to give it to a friend/family member.

Hope that helps.
