What is Sky TV?
Sky TV offers Sky Originals and Sky Exclusives, including award-winning shows, as well as over 100 channels which aren't available on Freeview. Sky TV has new shows and series available each week, all in HD, too.
To watch Sky TV, you will need Sky Stream or Sky Q. But more on this below.
How does Sky TV work?
Sky TV works through Sky Stream: a streaming pack which works on any existing television. Sky Stream gives you access to Freeview TV and Sky TV content, and this is all available as soon as you plug Sky Stream into your TV via HDMI. Sky Stream offers the full Sky Glass user interface and streaming properties (all of your channels, shows and apps in one place), and you don't need Sky Glass for Sky Stream.
Sky Stream is the best way to watch Sky TV, and for more information about this, be sure to check out our What is Sky Stream? guide.
You can also watch Sky TV on Sky Q, however, to install Sky Q, you will need a satellite dish. Sky Q is a satellite TV box which includes Sky Entertainment, Netflix originals, and unmissable shows which you won't be able to find on Freeview.
For more on Sky Q, it's worth checking out our What is Sky Q? guide.

Sky TV is available in various bundles, such as Sky TV, Sky Stream, and Netflix bundle, and these bundles usually start from £26 per month. However, there are currently savings available which sees you secure Sky TV bundles from as little as £22 per month.
