Sky Entertainment vs Signature.

Negativepitch42 — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 18:07:13 GMT

We are currently on the Sky Entertainment package on Sky Q.

They really did us over when offering a "new free box" over our Sky+.

Anyway, a different story altogether.

I want to get the HD add on, we still only want a basic package, no sports or movies, we don't stream any streaming channels.

I have read that you need to be on the signature pack to get this.

Can anyone tell me what the price difference is between the Entertainment and Signature packs....I bloomin hate trying to find my way around sky's website.

Thanks for any replies.

Hi @Negativepitch42 Only you can tell us the list price of the now ancient Entertainment package. We can tell you that the list price of Signature is £40.50 a month. But you would be extremely unlucky not to be offered a discount. Sky HD list price is £9 a month.

I recently used the chat service to renegotiate my contract - give it a go here: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/cancel-sky-tv

You'll need to switch to Signature of course...

hi @Negativepitch42

I have no idea of Entertainment prices but I know many people saved when switching, as I did several years ago, but I have additional add ons

I believe the 'List' price for Signature is £40.5 & £9 for HD but you would need to check

With just the basic package you may not be able to negotiate much of a discount

Note Signature includes Box sets (in SD as standard but you want the HD add on anyway) that I think was optional under Enertainment

If you are considering switching to Q then you may, also, wish to read some notes I have made for people considering switching from SKY +/HD to SKY Q

SKY +/HD to SKY Q

Sorry I didn't know how to reply to all of you at the same time.

We currently pay £37.85 a month.

Hi nigea99

We switched to Sky Q a good while ago.

We did have a discussion then, and I think it was you that got me into a private chat with someone from sky about the whole Sky Q catchup etc etc.

Hi @Negativepitch42 Have a look at your bills on the Sky Q box to compare the list prices. Under My Sky.

Sorry I didn't read your initial post properly as you did mention on SKY Q - I just picked up on your second line and made an assumption.

Hopefully Q is otherwise OK for you after any initial problems

I do hope you can negotiate to something acceptable for you - although these days we know deals on Q are not as good as on Stream

I have just been having a quick read and came across this (see screen capture)

We can also get the box sets, but SD only.

Reading this screen capture...I could be reading it wrongly, but we should be able to add the HD on.

Probably best ringing them.

We have been with them for 35/36 years (My wife just worked it out) so they owe us something 😄

Negativepitch42 — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 19:21:11 GMT

And this is what I mean by all over the place.

Considering we pay ££37.85

@Negativepitch42

Were these snaps taken from a SKY Site or elsewhere - to me they look like AI generated info from elsewhere

You need to be aware that I do not think that Entertainment in those snaps actually refers to the now very out of date 'Entertainment' named Package and refers to Entertainment generically as the base package as opposed to Sports and Cinema etc

@Negativepitch42

How old is that information? Sky subscriptions are now 24 months, not 18 months and Sky One hasn't been a thing for a couple of years at least.

Yes apologies.

@Negativepitch42 just checked with a friend who is still on the entertainment package (i've tried to get them to move to the signature package more than once) they tell me that the list price for entertainmentpackage is £40.50 on top of that you if you want catchup/ondemand with netflix (ultimate on demand ) its a further £10.00 then HD is £9.00 my friend won't tell me what they are paying so guessing they must have a good deal

I'm reading all different answers to peoples questions on the forum on various searches. (2025 Q&As in June as well.)

Has the entertainment pack been replaced by the Signature, some say yes, some say no. Some say the Entertainment pack is still relative.

I can't find any info on the Sky site, no matter what you click on, it just takes you back to add on's like move pack etc etc.

It's such an annoying site to navigate.

My account lists my pack as Entertainment, but if the base pack is now the Signature, at the same price we are paying now, is mine Signature.

The more you read, the worse it gets.

This is a reply to a June question, ignore the underline red, just the Sky Q part.

SKY Entertainment ceased to be offered to new customers several years ago and was replaced by Signature - this is why you won't find it on SKY's current pages as it is a legacy product

You will not be on Signature unless you switched - renewals do still take place for legacy packages - I think some may still be on Variety (Entertainment's predecessor)

Going through my old posts, We upgraded to Sky Q from Sky HD, in June 2024.

On the HD we were on the entertainment pack, when we upgraded to the Q box, they kept us on that, but we lost some features as they said the ones we lost (I can't remember what they were) were no longer on the latest entertainment pack, and we would need to upgrade.

So, I'll ring them tomorrow to find out what's what....and my next question to them is, can you put me on the Signature for the same price as we are paying at the moment...always worth a try... and then go for the HD pack from there....unless I can wangle it in.

Re: Sky Entertainment vs Signature.

Negativepitch42 — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 15:03:43 GMT

Just thought I would update you after ringing them today.

Spoke to a very nice lady.

The package we had before was the old entertainment, and broadband (not fibre) we were paying £83 a month.

After speaking to this lady, she went and had a word with her manager.

They have given us, Signature (ok, still the base pack) plus HD, plus netflix with ads for £73 for two years.

I wasn't sure about the netflix bit, so I rang them back and spoke a different, very nice lady.

She had a look and confirmed it all.

Then she said let me have a look at your internet, she said that we could have fibre 100 cheaper than we are paying at the moment for our bog standard ADSL connection, so I went for it.

So for the lot, it has gone down to £60 for two years...not a bad days work.

HD, Netflix with adds, faster internet (we have 65mbps download on our ADSL at the moment) for £60...plus a new Hub on its way.

Hi @Negativepitch42 Just remember you will get two annual price rises, in April 2026 and April 2027. The two years is the minimum term.
