What is the most basic Sky package?

We currently have Sky Entertainment + Netflix, which is £35 a month. We only watch Freeview channels, and stream on iplayer, ITVX, All4, Disney +, Netflix and Amazon Prime. As we only ever watch Freeview channels live on TV we want to downgrade our package if we can. Is there a more basic package that just includes Freeview and access to streaming? Or are we best leaving Sky altogether and just getting a freeview box?

Hi @aft92 

 

Sky ultimate TV is the base pack and the minimum you can have. See: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-stream-faqs

 

If you cancel your TV subscription you won't get any live channels but will still be able to use the apps. See: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-glass-without-a-subscription

 

However if you disconnect from internet and connect an aerial you will be able to receive some DTT channels. See: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/tv-input-app-on-sky-glass 

 

Although you can connect HDMI devices and use glass as a big monitor.
