Essentials package

I never had a subscription I stopped subscribing to sky 4 months ago. All I had was the sky+hd box that was disconnect and laying around the house doing nothing. I was more than happy with YouTube. I just phoned them and they were more than happy to switch the box back on even though I never had a subscription.  So all I would say is anyone who wants the essentials pack and has a sky Hd box without currently subscribing to sky, Give them a ring it took me 10 min.and it's a fiver a month.

With a sky+ box you don't need to subscribe to Sky Essentials for the free to air channels, just plug it in. As long as you have a sky+ dish.

Our Q contract finished, so downgraded to Essentials to keep the Q box, otherwise you have to pay for the box.

The only reason I pay the fiver a month for the sky hd is for the convenience of having the record rewind pause and the user friendly interface on the sky hd box. I get all the channels I need. So for me it's worth a fiver a month.
