SKY TV SUBSCRIPTION #1 – DISCOVERY+
The first saving you can make is with Discovery+.
It’s a total freebie for anyone with Sky Q, Sky Glass, or Sky Stream.
You get the Discovery+ Entertainment plan, which is the basic tier without TNT Sports.
This gets you access to an on-demand catalogue of content.
But it also unlocks a list of live channels that includes:
- Animal Planet
- Discovery
- Discovery History
- Discovery Science
- DMAX
- Food Network
- HGTV
- ID
- Quest
- Quest Red
- TLC
- Turbo
You’ll have to put up with ads for both the on-demand content and live channels, however.
Some shows and movies will be available in 4K UHD too, if you’ve got an Ultra HD TV.
Normally the Discovery+ Entertainment subscription would cost you £3.99 a month.
So you’re saving £47.88 over the course of a year with this offer.
Yearly Saving: £47.88
SKY SUBSCRIPTION #2 – NETFLIX
If you have a Sky Essential TV or Ultimate TV subscription then you’re also able to claim free Netflix.
This is easily one of the best perks of being a Sky TV customer.
You get the Netflix Standard with Ads subscription, which usually costs £5.99 a month.

So you’ll save a whopping £71.88 annually with this cracking offer.
This gets you almost all of Netflix’s movies and TV shows, plus unlimited access to the service’s mobile games.
You will have to sit through ads on this plan.
But you can upgrade your plan to a higher Netflix tier and you’ll only pay the difference.

So don’t worry about being stuck with the ads plan if you’d rather watch Netflix without commercials.
The Standard with Ads package allows you to stream in Full HD, and caps you to watching and downloading on two supported devices at a time.
Yearly Saving: £71.88
SKY TV SUBSCRIPTION #3 – PARAMOUNT+
If you’re paying for Sky Cinema as part of your package then you’ll also get Paramount+.

The streaming service promises “Hollywood blockbusters that make every night a movie night”, plus originals, exclusives, and “family favourites”.
Dexter: Resurrection is one of the most high-profile exclusives on Paramount+ right now.
And it’s also serving up Sonic 3, MobLand, and Gladiator II.
You”re eligible to claim the Paramount+ Basic (with ads) package with Sky Cinema.
BONUS SKY CINEMA PERK
Here’s another tempting freebie…
If you’re a Sky Cinema subscriber then Paramount+ isn’t your only freebie.
You’re also eligible to claim free Vue cinema tickets every single month.
You’ll get a pair of tickets that can be used at any Vue cinema in the UK or Ireland from Sunday through to Thursday.
Just go into the MySky app on your phone, choose Sky VIP, then tap on the Your Vue Tickets tile.
Claim the codes, and then you can use each of them to book a single standard seat online through Vue’s website.
You can also get a QR code that you can physically show at a Vue cinema if you’d rather do it in person.
But be warned: Sky says that there’s a weekly limit of codes available – so make sure that you don’t miss out.
Once you’ve claimed your codes, you have until the end of the month to use them.

That gets you Full HD streaming on a single device at a time.
And as the name suggests, you’ll have to put up with some ads.
But it would normally cost you £4.99 a month, so this is a saving of £59.88 each year you have it.
Yearly Saving: £59.88

So the total saving with all three of these packages comes to £179.64.
