Time is running out to watch Sky TV and Netflix for FREE
Sky has issued an urgent warning telling fans to “hurry” if they want to watch everything on Sky TV and Netflix without paying a penny. Yes, it seems the miind-boggling 30-day free trial on its newest Sky Stream box won’t be around much longer as Sky has updated its website with a warning that says “HURRY – Offer Ends Soon!”
Unfortunately, there’s no deadline for fans looking to take advantage of the deal to watch for the next 30-days at no cost …so those who want to binge exclusive series like Succession, The Last Of Us, House of the Dragon, as well as Netflix staples, including Bridgerton and Squid Game for £0 will need to add the incredible giveaway to their basket sooner rather than later.
Since the latest set-top box from the satellite telly firm comes with free next-day delivery as standard, so you could be watching for free by this time tomorrow. And there’s no satellite dish needed either, with everything beamed over Wi-Fi in up to 4K Ultra HD quality.
The brilliant Sky Stream free trial lasts for one month. Cancel anytime during that period and you won’t be charged …but you will still be able to enjoy must-see shows from HBO, Sky Originals, and Netflix included with the package at no cost.
Normally priced at £29 per month, the entry-level Sky Stream bundle arrives with 150 live channels, including Sky Atlantic, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky Comedy, Sky Nature, and Sky Max, and a full Netflix subscription. Sky Cinema and Sky Sports are optional extras. You can also pair Sky Stream with Sky Broadband if you don’t already have a speedy home internet connection.
For a limited time, you can sign-up for the Sky Stream free trial and cancel anytime to watch without paying – easily one of the best Sky deals we’ve ever come across!
As mentioned above, unlike traditional set-top boxes from Sky, the sleek new Sky Stream doesn’t need a satellite dish drilled into the outside of your house. Instead, everything is streamed over wired or wireless broadband.
All of the best Sky features are present and correct, so you’ll be able to pause and rewind live television, record series, and watch the latest Hollywood blockbusters and exclusive series in up to 4K Ultra HD quality. Stream arrives with apps for all of your favourite streaming services, including Disney Plus, Netflix, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Apple TV Plus, and many more.
Sky Stream runs on a 31-day rolling contract, like NOW (formerly NOW TV) and Netflix.
That means you can cancel at any time and won’t be charged for the following month. That’s helpful for those who don’t want to sign-up for an 18-month contract (like you need to do with Sky Q, which still requires a satellite dish to be affixed to your house).
It also means you can watch everything available with Sky TV for one month with the free trial, cancel anytime during the month, and pay nothing. Yes, you won’t be charged at all.
One of the biggest advantages of Sky Stream is the simple set-up.
Since there’s no satellite dish, you’ll only need to plug-in the box and connect to your wireless or wired broadband connection and you’ll have access to live channels – including over 150 channels not available on Freeview, on-demand boxsets from HBO, Sky Originals, Peacock and more, as well as catch-up services like BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All4, and streaming services including Disney Plus, Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV Plus, and fitness apps.
Based on your tastes, Sky Stream will recommend new shows from across all of these channels, catch-up and streaming apps, on the main menu. These suggestions are refreshed up to 5x each day, so you’ll get different recommended boxsets and films late in the evening, compared to when you switch on the telly over breakfast.
You can search for individual actors, directors, and famous movie quotes (“show me the money!” loads up Jerry Maguire, for example) using the voice search feature built into the remote control for speedy access to content.
We put all of these features – and many more – through their paces in our in-depth Sky Stream review.
As it stands, there is no deadline on the latest Sky Stream deal, but if you want to start watching as soon as possible, you should add to your shopping basket without delay. We’ll update this article if Sky decides to pull the deal …something it has done in the past when offering free access to its premium telly service for free!
If you have an LG TV tucked in the corner of your living room you might want to see if a new app has just been installed. The Korean technology giant has just confirmed that some of its latest screens have now received an upgrade that includes the highly anticipated Xbox app.
Once loaded and launched, this popular platform lets you access a whole swathe of games from developers such as Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard, Mojang, Xbox Game Studios, and more.
The best part is, you don’t need an expensive Xbox console to enjoy a gaming session with everything streamed to the big screen via your broadband instead.
To access this service you’ll just needs an LG TV or select smart monitors running the latest webOS 24 and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership which costs £14.99 per month.
If you have both of those then you can jump straihgh into games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to popular titles like Avowed, South of Midnight or eagerly awaited upcoming releases like Towerborne.
Game Pass Ultimate members can also conveniently stream a select catalogue of games they already own, such as NBA 2K25 and Hogwarts Legacy, adding even greater flexibility to their gaming experience.
“LG remains dedicated to delivering the ultimate home entertainment experience with its cutting-edge TVs and top-of-the-class built-in platform, webOS,” LG explained.
“Through its partnership with Xbox and the launch of the Xbox app, LG elevates gaming with the precision of game-changing OLED TVs and the brilliant and vivid action of the latest QNED TVs, including unrivalled gameplay upscaled to 4K for lifelike visuals, while offering a convenient interface on LG Smart TVs to enjoy a vast library of games with cloud gaming.”
The Xbox app is rolling out now and you should find it on the home screen.
Xbox says these are TVs it’s available on which include 2022 OLED TVs, 2023 OLED, QNED, NanoCell and UHD TVs – which have been updated to software version 23.20.01 or higher
This Gaming Portal is available on LG screens in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkiye, UK and USA.
Android fans are getting another new smartphone to choose from and this latest model to arrive in the UK packs quite a punch for its very low price. POCO – which is a sub brand of Chinese firm Xiaomi – has just announced the release of its new M7 Pro 5G which is brimming with premium upgrades – such as 5G data compatibility, a huge battery with fast 45W turbo charging and even 256GB of storage as standard (most phones only get 128GB).
There’s also a speedy 6.67-inch display with super slim bezels and fast 120Hz refresh rate – you don’t even get that on £799 iPhone!
Dual speakers are tucked inside that work with Dolby Atmos plus there’s added boost via Hi-Res Audio. On the rear case is a dual-lens snapper with camera technology powered by the experts at Sony.
POCO boasts that its M7 Pro 5G features an upgraded 50MP rear camera with a large 1/1.95″ Sony IMX882 image sensor that captures up to 29.8 percent more light.
It’s also IP64 dust and water resistant, comes in three vibrant colours and has Dimensity 7025-Ultra processor powering it.
So, how much is this all going to cost you and why should the likes of Google and Samsung be worried?
The POCO M7 Pro 5G starts from a ludicrously low £199 which is £100 cheaper than Samsung’s new Galaxy A26 series and £300 less than the latest Pixel 9a.
That low price includes 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s also a 12GB RAM model which is priced at £239.
Of course, some things are missing, such as wireless charging, a triple-lens camera, and smart AI upgrades, but on paper, this device appears to have plenty going for it.
“POCO M7 Pro 5G embodies our commitment to delivering the next-level 5G performance and entertainment experience possible,” says Angus Ng, Head of Product Marketing at POCO Global.
“Its stunning display, powerful Dimensity 7025-Ultra chipset, sleek design, and upgraded camera system, POCO M7 Pro 5G caters to the needs of both casual users and tech enthusiasts.”
If you’ve been thinking about making the jump to Sky Glass then now could be a good time to switch over to this broadband connected TV. Sky has recently refreshed its internet-powered screen – which doesn’t need a dish to work – with it now offering improved 4K visuals, a more simplified set-up and powerful speakers that end the need for a separate soundbar.
As you can read in our full Sky Glass Gen 2 review, this TV is definitely a big improvement over the original and is far easier to recommend, especially as Sky didn’t raise the price in 2025.
The new model already sounds a lot more enticing, but Sky is now offering two more reasons to consider taking the plunge. For a limited time, there’s the option to grab a Glass 2 TV and add Sky Cinema or Sky Sports for a surprisingly low price.
Firstly, there’s the Sky Cinema deal which adds hundreds of blockbuster movies to the screen including recent releases such as Despicable Me 4, Twisters and Transformers One. If you sign up right now you’ll get Sky Glass, Netflix and Cinema access for just £38 per month.
If sporting action is more your thing then there’s also a deal that include all of Sky’s Sports channels plus Netflix and Sky Atlantic for £48. Considering Sky can charge up to £33 per month for Sky Sports alone – these are pretty good deals.
Both of these deals offer a significant saving off the standard price but are only available for a limited time.
