If you are unhappy with stream but want Sky content then maybe you can secure a deal that I just locked into for 6 months. Entertainment, Cinema and Boost so no ADS not skipping for £9.99 a month. With no multi-room required either it's a consideration if you are looking to save some pennies.
Sure paramount not included in the cinema bundle so need to factor that if it is a must.
Also UHD not available but through Apple TV and the upscaling the picture quality is excellent.
Not 100% like for like I know but for £9.99 it seams a no brainer.
* I got this deal by cancelling my existing monthly account and received incentive to stay so not sure what new subscribers can achieve.
Maybe there are some deals to be had with Sky if you look to cancel.

A very good deal @Gincap.
My NOW deal for Entertainment & Boost at £4.99pm for 6 months has just ended and I've cancelled so it'll be interesting to see if I get offered your deal too.
I don't think I'd bother though as I really don't rate Sky Cinema and we don't watch much Sky-only content any more.
Worth mentioning that for those who are considering getting their Sky programming via NOW, if you have an Apple TV 4K box, it integrates perfectly with the Up Next rail (similar to Sky Stream's playlist & continue watching rail) so it will keep track of your Sky series and alert you when a new episode is available. You can also use the Apple TV app to add series from NOW to your Up Next (playlist) whilst you're away from home... something that's missing from the Sky Go app.
Sky really should develop an app specifically for their streaming service. Almost like a MySky/Sky Go hybrid which allows for account management as well as on demand streaming of subscription channels and playlist management synced to customers' pucks and Glass TVs.
