I'm looking for a particular package.

[Removed] My contract is up and all I want to do is use the Sky Q box forthings like Youtube, BBC I player etc.  [Removed]

I did read somewhere that you can use the box and pay a minimum amount? is this true?

Moderation notes: Removed unfounded allegations

Q Essentials - retails at £15pm.

This allows the box to be kept for free-to-air channels and apps.

If all you want is access to apps like YouTube and iPlayer to stream content then it is absolutely pointless paying Sky for a Sky Q box.

Most smart TVs will have these apps built in already and do not charge for their use. Alternatively you can purchase a dedicated streaming device such as a Firestick, Roku, GoogleTV or Apple TV box, some for as little as £20. You can then choose which apps you want to download and use. On a Sky Q box you are limited to the apps Sky choose.

Although you can get multiroom (for an additional cost) and the Q's recording capability.
