Renewing Sky Q - advice

[Fourmidable]

I've had SKY TV for 20+ years - VIP Diamond level.

I'm out of contract, so paying as below for Sky Q Signature with Multiroom and Netflix. I've realised I don;t use multiroom, and also rarely watch channels outside of BBC and ITV. I do watch Netflix regularly.

I've found out Sky won't offer Essentials - so is my only realistic choice to haggle on reducing the cost for Signature, same time asking to remove multiroom ? If so, any view on what a decent deal for Signature would be ?

Why do you say that?  Essentials for Q is still available afaik.

Looks like you're on a legacy NetFlix - so any negotiation will require you to switch to the current billing.  (HD/UHD does not raise the NetFlix tier any more)

Personally, I negotiated a £16 discount on Signature but my package is larger than yours (which can be a factor).  Discounts are harder to get nowadays.

That may be a misunderstanding.

'Television Essentials' should be available on Q (it has been long-term but not widely advertised)

'Essential TV' is not on Q: that's exclusive to Glass & Stream.

There's been widespread confusion caused by the product names, including amongst Sky staff.
