Its £10pm including sky box sets in HD and Netflix so saving around £4pm over them separately. Not sure about deals though.

If I signed up in October could I just add this on when it is released later on? I am taking box sets anyway.

No 'driveby' code requests will be honoured. You must have a minimum 100 posts and 6 month membership of the forums to request a code.

Just a reminder as I've just deleted a few posts form people who signed up today simply to request a code.

Yeah, you'd be able to add it on at a later date.

You can simply take it out as a subscription with Sky if you don't have Netflix already, or link your existing Netflix account with Sky Q and then pay Sky for the Netflix subscription, or simply use your Netflix login credentials and just use it that way (you'll still be paying Netflix for the sub).

Great, thanks for the info .don't currently have Netflix and thought this was a good way to get into it. If you have multiroom and a 2tb box do you also get the UHD version of Netflix? I would want that for the Atmos content.

I... well, I really don't know. I'd assume you do since you get UHD with the 2TB and QMS, and the price will be £10 which is the UHD Netflix price too, but I don't know something concrete. Keep checking here or the website, more will be revealed soon.

I need your full name and the email address you will use to sign up with, and I will send you the code by email.

At the end of the 18 months you can renegotiate with Sky.

Misschief, is the £10 per month Entertainment pack still on offer and do you have codes? The wife is fed up of freeview and we're tempted to sign up.

How much is install please?

Sadly no codes for this at the moment. Give sales a call and push hard and you might get close.

Ok thanks I'll investigate. Do you think they'll likely bring this back via a code if there is no joy?

If they bring it back, they will do it after the current F&F offer expires on 30/9.

I have 4 codes left, these deals expire Sunday night.

I just found out today that yes, if you have a Q 2TB box and QMS, then when you add Netflix on there, you will get UHD for Netflix content as well.

I have a Sky+ HD box which I only have the Original Pack, HD and F1 which I pay £34.50 a month for. I rang Sky to see if I could get a 2TB Q Box For £20 so that I could watch F1 UHD, yes for an extra £12 per month if I took out the multiscreen thing. I don't have any other TV's in the house, I appreciate this is Sky's conditions but the £46.50 per month for my quite basic package. Anything around to get Sports or suchlike included for a similar price?

There isn't any other way around it. 46.50 per month would be the cheapest way to watch F1 in UHD.

You have a legacy subscription now and Sky have restructured the packages in a way that is not affordable at all to people who have the type of subscription you have (the legacy HD pack).

With the new subscriptions, you'd be looking at about £55 with the best offers available, but it would give you full Sports (UHD would be included in this price).

So yes the multiscreen sub at £12pm is required I'm afraid. Call it the UHD subscription if you must but it is required. In fact it's changing name soon to reflect this.
