Hello
Wondering if I can get some purchasing advice. I've tried live chat but it was useless.
currently subscribe to now TV and get sky sports and entertainment. Wondering if it's better to just move to sky.
we also subscribe to Netflix and Apple TV plus which we want to keep.
a lot of our viewing is on iPads / iPhone which again we don't want to lose.
what are our best options? Should we stick with now TV / separate Netflix and Apple TV or is there a good option with sky direct? Glass looks interesting but we have a decent TV already so a set top box would be preferable.
don't want to install a satellite dish. Would rather keep with our aerial and stream over broadband.
not interested in sky broadband either. Got a good deal already.
Thoughts welcome. I find it all quite confusing!

Sky Stream is the only option, other that what you've got now.

No satellite dish and no new TV rules out Sky Q and Sky Glass, leaving only Sky Stream.
Work out what you are paying now for NowTV & Netflix. Then go through the motions of buying Sky Stream:

Many thanks for your reply - that really helps.
Sounds like I am better off just sticking with my current separate subscriptions to Netflix and Now TV.
Sky Stream looks ok, but would like to be able to view terestrial channels through an arial through the same box. I hate the Android TV that comes with our Sony TV - it is really poor. Clunky and buggy.
Thanks again - much appreciated.
