SKY is giving away access to premium channels and Netflix as part of a special returning deal.
The offer is designed to lure people across to the company's Sky Stream product, which does away with a satellite dish and relies on broadband instead.
You don't need to be a Sky Broadband customer to benefit.
Once connected, channels are streamed over Wi-Fi, meaning you can install the Sky Stream device yourself without an engineer visit.
No satellite dish is also ideal for renters who aren't allowed to have objects installed on their property - or homeowners who don't like the look of them on the side of their house.

The Sun reviewed Sky Stream when it first launched in October 2022, and said it was "surprising that a tiny box packs so much punch".
It essentially has the same features of Sky Glass, except Sky Glass is all built into the TV itself.
Sky Stream on the other hand can plug into any existing TV you own, so it's cheaper.
For a limited time, Sky will send you a Sky Stream device for free, as well as access to the main channels and Netflix standard with ads.
But it's only free for a one month trial - so you'll need to cancel before the period ends if you don't wish to continue.

Sky Stream vs Sky Q - How do they compare?
The most obvious difference between Sky Stream and Sky Q is how they're delivered.
Sky Q uses the traditional satellite dish for live TV and broadband for on demand shows.
Whereas Sky Stream relies entirely on the internet to do both live TV and on demand.
The interfaces look pretty much identical.
Sky Q tends to have more channels, mostly because Sky Stream does away with standard definition channels (where there's a HD one available) and +1 channels.
One major difference is recording.
On Sky Q you can record anything you like directly onto your box that will stay there forever.
On Sky Stream you can't technically record - you can add a show to your playlist and a recording is kept in the cloud, so you always need to be online to watch it.
They will also expire after a certain amount of time too.
