Free upgrade for this weekend

[Cynthia51]

I currently have essential tv but see online that there is a free upgrade to get 35 extra channels this weekend.   The two i saw mentioned were sky comedy and u&gold.  I can't get either of those so assume the rest would be the same.  Any advice please

I suspect that's for Stream and not Q.

Anyway, if it is then you don't have to do anything - the channels will become accessible.

@Cynthia51 It's basically allowing access to any channel included in the Ultimate TV package that is not in the more basic Essentials pack, excluding Sports and Cinema. It says it is from today until Monday. 

The articles I've seen don't say if it's just for Glass or Stream customers or for all Sky Essentials subscribers.

Thank you.   That would make sense but the article didn't make it clear.

The article I read is talking about the additional £7 from Essential to Ultimate - this is not an option for Q...  (Essentials on Q is simply free-to-air)

Having the same name as Sky Q package wasn't a good idea imo

Read articles say 'Q' uses too 🤷🏻‍♂️

AI-generated text (and fallible humans) easily confuse Television Essentials on Sky+ and Sky Q with Essential TV on Glass and Stream.

The current temporary free upgrade offer is for Essential TV: Television Essentials is an end-of-life product on satellite platforms which have a few years left at most.
