Can I watch Netflix on Sky without Sky taking over the billing

I have Netflix Premium with EE.

I want to watch Netflix on my sky glass, however when I load the Netflix account and provide my Netflix credentials the next screen is telling me I have to link my Netflix account with Sky and then Sky will takeover the billing.

I don't want to be billed by Sky for Netflix, so my question is: is there a way for me to login to my Netflix account on Sky and watch it without switching my billing to Sky?

If I've read Sky's help correctly, I don't think so. Someone else may know differently.

 

"If you have an existing Netflix account you pay Netflix direct for:

  • Sky Glass customers only: When you log into Netflix on Sky Glass for the first time, make sure it's on your Sky Glass TV (not a Sky Stream puck)
  • Make sure the details you enter and/or confirm when logging into Netflix on Sky Glass or Sky Stream for the first time match your existing Netflix account details. This will alert Netflix to stop billing you separately and link your existing account to your Streaming TV bill."

No, not using the Netflix app on any Sky hardware.

@Faroo  Only by attaching a streaming device to one of your HDMI ports🤔

 

OR you could create a Sky attached Netflix account then log off and log on to your EE account?

 

The first account accessed on the Sky device becomes the Sky attached billed account😉
