Netflix with Ads - Subtle Difference with Sky.

Was looking to re-subscribe to Netflix through Sky but there is a very subtle difference on the with ads plan when subscribing via Sky. The Sky subscription route only allows downloading to one device, but subscribe directly with Netflix and you get to download to two devices!  I know Sky is 50p cheaper, but if you want to download to two devices like we do, it makes more sense to go directly to Netflix...

Thank you for the info @Laing1   .

 

You can watch on two devices, that is stream concurrently.  However there is a limitation to the number of devices you can download to, to watch offline. Subscribing directly with Netflix allows two devices, buried in Sky's info it only allows one!
