home screen upgrade your subscription

Craig_79 — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 08:40:56 GMT

Would sky consider adding a show only subscribed content on the home screen or adding a padlock icon like all main streaming services?
Better still would be a checkbox to show only subscribed content. At the end of the day, i come home and turn the TV on to chill, not be subjected to a hard sell constantly.

The Puck turned up yesterday, i have ultimate and sky sports on a rolling contract.

I explained this to my mum and she no longer wants it.

So far, i am disappointed. I am paying £3 more to avoid a 24 month contract. Skys only investment is a loaned £50 box to justify a £528 contract. For comparison, a phone contract typically recovers the cost of a £1000 phone that you keep.
I'll give it about a month and see if i can get used to it either way.

Nice idea however the logistics are near on impossible to do this. I don't understand the need for the padlock icon either. @Craig_79

You'll be better off with a Now subscription for Sky content. It's app based, so on many smart TV's, Firesticks, Roku etc. All content you don't subscribe to show a padlock............... and it's cheaper.
