Take a look at some of the other Black Friday deals we’ve found around the web
What channels do you get with Sky?
The exact number of channels you’ll get with Sky depends on the packages you purchase.
To give you an idea, the Entertainment bundle, which is Sky’s basic offering, includes roughly 100 channels, in addition to the Freeview ones, for a total of around 250.
The Sky Sports bundle offers ten additional sports channels, while Sky Cinema adds 11 film channels.
Netflix Basic is also included in all of Sky’s TV packages.
How to get Sky TV
Getting a Sky TV subscription is quite easy. All you have to do is go to their site, click on the “Get started” button, then build your own package.
The basic one is only £25 a month, but there are currently several Black Friday deals, so it may be worth to step up your game and get as many packages as you can, while sales last.
Is Sky Q worth having?
Yes, it is.
Sky Q has replaced the old Sky+ box and now comes as standard in any Sky subscription.
The advantages of owning a Sky Q box are numerous, including the ability to record three things at the same time while watching a fourth.
The Sky Q box also allows you to stream your channels to one tablet, and can even act as a Wi-Fi hotspot.
And with Sky Q, you can purchase extra Mini boxes to have access to all your channels in different TVs in your home.
Does Sky Q require a dish in 2020?
Yes, in order to receive Sky signal you will need to have a dish, as Sky TV is provided by satellite.
Back in 2017, Sky announced it was working on a Sky box version not requiring a dish, having the channels delivered through broadband connection instead.
However, the company has not posted any upgrades on a dish-less Sky box since then, so a dish a still required to receive Sky signal.
The good bit is: if there is already a dish on your property, Sky will send an engineer out to get you connected.
Are there any Black Friday deals for existing Sky customers?
Yes, existing customers can still take advantages of some of the offers above.
Specifically, they can have 50% off additional Sky TV packages, as well as pay £37 for the Complete Sports and BT Sport offer.
For the latter offer, however, a one-off admin fee of £10 applies to existing Sky Sports Complete customers without a contract.
In terms of broadband deals, existing customers can take advantage of some of the Black Friday deals, but will have to pay some extra fees, depending on their existing contract.

What TV and broadband deals are there in 2020?
Black Friday is a great time of year to look for a new TV or broadband deal.
All the different providers are likely to offer discounts, so if you’ve let your introductory offer slip onto a rolling contract, switching providers or getting a new package could save you a bundle
Virgin Media’s Black Friday offers mean you can snap up super-fast internet with a host of quality television from Sky and BT at a discounted rate.
Internet provider Hyperoptic has also started its Black Friday sale which allows you to get a staggering 1Gbps internet speed for £40-a-month. Check that offer out here.
It might be worth waiting until all the providers have launched their Black Friday deals before you spend your money, though.
TV and internet packages can’t sell out, so you might as well see what offers are available on Black Friday to get the best price.

When is Black Friday 2020?
Black Friday lands on November 27 in 2020, the day after Thanksgiving is celebrated in America.
Traditionally Black Friday is an American shopping event, but the trend crossed the Atlantic a few years ago and now most big retailers embrace the sales period.
The sales tend to begin around two weeks ahead of Black Friday, so it can pay off to keep a lookout for deals from mid-November.
When is Cyber Monday and will Sky be taking part?
The Black Friday deals usually continue until the following Monday which is known as Cyber Monday.
That’s because it’s when retailers encourage us to go online to snap up their final bargains.
What offers will Sky have on Black Friday 2020?
If previous years are anything to go by, we’d expect Sky to cut its prices on a number of packages in 2020.
Sky Sport still has the largest number of Premier League games on its channels, so if you’re a fan, it’s worth looking out for a deal on Sky Sports.
Last year the Sports package was half price, so there’s a chance you could make a similar saving in 2020.
Or, if you can’t get your entertainment fix from Netflix, Amazon or Disney, you might well be able to find a discount on either an Entertainment package or a Cinema bundle.
Sky Cinema was half price in 2019, so if you’re lucky, a similar discount could emerge in 2020.
Does Sky offer any other discounts?
Sky offers some great discounts for NHS staff through Health Service Discounts.
Students who are members of UNiDAYS can also get 25% off a SKY TV membership.
