Digital satellite television, broadband and phone services may be purchased either as individual products or as bundles. Advantages of bundles include saving more money than you would if you bought each one separately. But each customer has unique entertainment needs and may only want one or two services. One option is to choose a provider that offers both multi package and single services. One leading company that provides such options in the UK is Sky. You can view Sky offers at http://www.digitaltvsignup.co.uk/digital-tv-providers/sky.htm.

 

Sky TV


Sky has an extensive selection of TV packages, all with the option of adding phone service. Every TV package comes with one of the Sky +HD boxes, On Demand services with Catch-up TV and movie rental and Sky Go—a feature that allows viewing from a laptop, iPad or smartphone. There are four main TV bundles: The Original, The Family, The Movies and The Sports. All packages include some HD channels and free-to-air channels. You may also opt for the benefits of all bundles by subscribing to The Complete.
