Activating Netflix on a computer

J_L — Sat, 21 Jun 2025 06:46:38 GMT

I've just moved in from abroad and my TV will only arrive in several weeks. In meantime I've subscribe to a Sky broadband and streaming plan so I can watch TV on my desktop (it works fine with Sky Go).

I also want to watch Netflix. My Sky subscription includes a Netflix plan.

How do I activate Netflix on my desktop? As I can't use the Sky streaming device yet as I have no TV to connect it to.

Unfortunately I don't believe that's possible: it's signing into the Netflix app on Sky hardware (Q/Glass/Stream) which transfers the billing.

And I've just confirmed this too with Sky support chat. It's not possible as you wrote, I have to do this on the Sky puck. which I can't at the moment.

Not great this is not possible on a web browser.

THink it may be better to just get a Netflix account rather than having it as a Sky package if you use it on your computer - Like I do

That's not an option with Glass/Stream: it's possible on Sky Q by having Signature instead of Ultimate TV.
