Monthly charge for Atmos

Why do Sky charge for Atmos and 4k? Am I paying for something that most of the time I'm not using I.e. are most broadcasts not actually using Atmos? Am I wasting money?

Hi @Stelee68 

 

Given that we are fellow customers we can't tell you why sky charge. However it's (Atmos) bundled in with the 4k availability. So if you are a movie and sports customer and watch a lot of content in 4k it's worth it.

 

However it's only really you go can determine that. You can cancel via my sky by giving 31 days unless in a minimum term. Offers may be provided if you cancel.

To make more money.  Historically Sky has always charged for such add-ons: it's been a feature of their business model for decades.

 

At least with Glass & Stream there's no extra cost for HD.
