Why not join NowTV a that offers all the Sky packages at a much lower subscription? Generally the contract is for 6 months if you take up their offer. We have the Entertainment, Cinema plus the booster to remove ads. Cost is about £18 a month. Netflix about £10 a month and the Plusnet broadband £28 a month which includes line rental. Works out to under £60 a month. We no longer have a phone.

Currently Sky Essentails with Netflix and 150 mp fibre is £35 pm, with anytime landline another £17 pm. Currently my broadband is 260 mp (measured) but no problem at 150 mp fibre. 300mp adds another £2pm. Reviewing their offering that would meet our needs as even with Virgin we have not used any of their offerings as we go via the various apps, or record tv for later viewing.

Last time I looked at NOW TV. You had to pay a lot extra for Dolby and for HD.

The entertainment channel is £5 a month, Cinema £10 a month and the Boost £6 a month. The Boost gives you ad free and also HD. The Ultra Boost at £9 gives you 4k UHD and also Dolby Atmos on 3 devices. When we took out the Sky Cinema about 3 months ago it was £7 for 12 months.

I wonder how many people opt for Dolby, HD,4K etc when their home setup isn't going to be able to produce any noticeable benefit.

Poor acoustics in home; poor hearing; low quality speakers; TV to far away and so on.

Yep not bothered with UHD on NowTv or Dolby Atmos. Other channels like Prime ro Netfix give it to you for free. Sadly eyesight and hearing is not longer 100% to tell the difference between HD and UHD or even Dolby Atmos. Our main issue on may channels is clarity of speech as in some programs or films, the actors seem to be mumbling.

I gave up on Hi-Fi, and subsequent improvements, back in the '80s when chemotherapy damaged my hearing - a known side-effect and better than the alternative!
