Can I watch Sky TV on Virgin Media or TalkTalk?
If you have a TV subscription with a provider other than Sky, this doesn't mean that you can't still access Sky.
Many of the channels can be added onto your current service.
To do this, you have to sign up for a "bolt on", which adds the new channels onto your existing service.
Unfortunately Sky Atlantic is not available on BT TV, TalkTalk or Virgin Media.
Sky Atlantic is available with all Sky’s TV bundles, the cheapest being the Original Bundle, which will set you back £20 per month.
If you want to watch shows like Westworld, The Leftovers or any of the exciting new series from Atlantic in high definition, you’ll need to choose the Box Sets Bundle (previously the Family bundle), which costs £38 per month, or subscribe to Now TV.
