Sky Stream review: the satellite-free Sky TV streaming box

Live and on-demand pay-TV delivered over wifi to an easy-to-use box is let down by some crummy apps

Sky has taken its satellite-free pay-TV service from the Glass television and shoved it into a tiny streaming box that you can plug into your existing kit and hook up to wifi.

The Sky Stream box subscription starts at 25 a month with a 20 fee upfront, which gives you Sky's entertainment package for 18 months plus a basic Netflix account. It then rises in price depending on any other channels or content you add. Alternatively, you can subscribe on a 31-day rolling contract and chop and change as you see fit, although without an active subscription the box becomes useless.
