HBO Question

Hi, unsure if this is the correct area to ask this or even if anyone will know the answer.

So i have activated the HBO basic with ads, and which i am OK with but I was wondering if Sky plan on offering the standard with ads upgrade as this would cost £1 a month, being a bit of a tight **bleep** I would be happy to pay a £1 to get full access with ads to all content.

Valid point @Zolban but Sky should not charge the £1

no i agree they shouldnt and in an ideal world the stadard with ads would be whats offered with the sky package to keep it inline with netflix and D+, unfortunitly we live in a world where good value for money seems to slowly dissapearing.

That's surprising unless they don't have rights to 2026 Warner Bros films going forward , it did devalues the overpriced Sky Cinema which is losing the Sony Pay 1 deal before too long
