it’s nigh-on impossible to figure out what Sky are doing with their new Streaming and puck offer; I’ve had a report of the month by month offering priced at the 18-month contract offer price, and other price discrepancies, and I can’t find out how, if at all, you get Netflix Standard instead of Netflix Basic, and at what cost in the Streaming offer.
(Normally, it comes when you take the HD add-on, but Streaming is already HD, but with Netflix Basic),
So there are a few assumptions below, but here’s the calculation for my package:-
Sky Glass (18 months, or monthly if you can get that deal, by month)
Sky Ultimate £26
Cinema £10
Netflix Standard £4 (upgrade from Basic, best estimate I can make)
Total £40 a month
Free puck, one-time £20 setup fee
Sky Glass monthly (as published)
Sky Ultimate £29
Cinema £12
Netflix Standard £4 (upgrade from Basic, best estimate I can make)
Total £45 a month
£20 puck, one-time £40 setup fee
Now plus other subscriptions
Ent, Cinema, Boost £15 (retention offers, but Now are having a laugh on Boost)
Paramount+ £7 (included with Cinema on Sky Streaming)
Netflix £11 (Standard with HD)
Total £33
Anyone additionally subscribing to Discovery+/EuroSports at £7 would break even with Sky Streaming at £40
Other factors:
Pro Sky:
Possibility to upgrade to UHD.
Lots of additional channels.
Telephone support.
Pro Now:
May not need an additional device to get it.
Move from room to room at no additional cost.
Or no need to carry a Now device about, possibly.
No setup fee.

Wow, that seems eye-watering to me. A very expensive way to get cheaper Netflix, if that's your bag.

£11 for Sky Cinema isn't a lot seeing as you get Paramount Plus included on Sky Glass. Sky Sports for £25 is the offer price often given on NOW and yeah the BT Sport is high but rest isn't too bad.

If you find particularly compelling content there then go for it. Any suggestions?

@Anonymous User any info on additional pucks/boxes on the same account. I'd be interested to know if they are discounted and IP dependant.

Sorry no I can try and find out I expect they are £50 though like on normal glass whole home is £10 a month

@Anonymous User so the pricing for the extra pucks is quite eye watering. £39.95 set up fee for each additional device and £12 a month for whole home subscription! Sky's terms state if you use an additional box at a different address they will charge you for a separate subscription so I assume they will know if you connect to a different router!

Anything? Worth paying more for the added content than the £1 I am currently paying NOW? It seems like another example of bundling to offer ostensibly better value, but they choose, rather than you.

You are very lucky you are only paying £1 majority will be not.

I appreciate that, but frankly I wouldn't pay any more. I rarely watch anything on Cinema, maybe the odd classic. The main reason I took up this offer is because it included a month's free Boost.
