Sky Q Essential Package £5 a month? Any such thing?

[MrKieranb]

Hi guys I've heard someone say they pay £5 a month for Sky Q basic which allows them to watch Freeview record and still use the apps? 🤔 Is this correct? Any advice would be much appreciated

Yes but it's £15pm (called Essentials)

@PandJ2020 No I'm happy with the answer was told £15 but told they got it for £5 when rang up? Thanks for the reply

Sky can discount it if they want (subject to minimum term)

Sky can discount service to whatever price they choose, while presumably aiming to not actually lose money on the account ; )

Rollout of cheap television hardware with the Freely app onboard will increasingly undermine the market for Television Essentials, and it ultimately has the same limited remaining lifespan as the other satellite services.
