You can grab Sky's fancy top-set box for absolutely nothing

You can stream 150 channels from Sky TV for free, thanks to a generous 30-day free trial from the premium telly provider. Cancel anytime and you'll pay nothing to binge exclusive shows like Euphoria, House of the Dragon, and The Last Of Us on a brand-new Sky box.

It's all thanks to the return of a 30-day trial on the all-new Sky Stream set-top box. New customers can watch everything on the paid-for TV service for a month. Best of all, the basic Sky TV package comes with a free Netflix subscription too, so you can watch the latest season of Sex Education, and boxsets like Stranger Things and Bridgerton too.

There's no charge for delivery on the set-top box and you can cancel anytime during the month-long trial. Yes, you could binge as many eye-catching films, series and documentaries in the month and not pay a penny.

It's not the first time the provider has offered its meg Sky Stream box for £0, but this blockbuster deal is never around for long. Intrigued shoppers have to act fast to get their hands on this satellite-free TV box for free. How do you know it's right for you?

This palm-sized box is similar to the rival Fire TV Cube or Apple's TV 4K and relies on your home Wi-Fi (whether you're on Sky broadband or with another provider) to seamlessly sync to your TV, making it look and feel pretty smart. Plus the fact, there's no need for a clunky satellite dish fixed to the outside of your home, another winner when it comes to saving on installation costs.

How much does it cost after the free trial?

Sky ships its Stream boxes with next-day delivery as standard, so you could be winding down to your favourite Sky series or Netflix film this time tomorrow. If you do decide to continue watching after the trial period ends, you'll need to pay £26 per month for the standard bundle when you agree to an 18-month contract – a total of £468.

Want a little more flexibility? Then you can opt for the rolling Sky Stream package which lets users cancel anytime throughout their contract as long as they give a 30-day window. This costs slightly more at £29 per month or a total of £522 across the full 18-month plan.

The standard Sky Stream bundles arrive with Sky Entertainment and Netflix. Packed with 150 live channels, including Sky Atlantic, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky Comedy, Sky Nature, and Sky Max.

It also arrives with some 500 on-demand boxsets from US streamers like Max (formerly HBO Max) and Peacock as well as home-grown hits from Sky Originals, including Succession and Chernobyl.

Of course, content options don't stop there and if you're an avid sports fan you can unlock the latest Premier League fixtures and Rugby World Cup on its Sky Sports extra. There's the choice of Sky Cinema too, to add the luxury of the movie house to your own front room.

Other TV deals to take a look at

Sky isn't the only provider with a shiny new deal, as TalkTalk proved earlier this week. The provider is offering a competitive deal offering a £60 saving on Sky channels by offering its TalkTalk hub for free.

It dropped the price of its TalkTalk TV and NOW TV Entertainment bundle to just £9.99 a month, despite both services usually costing customers a combined £14.99 a month – so not only will you save £60 a year, it also means that its Talk Talk TV Hub is thrown in for free. You can read all about it in our TalkTalk round-up, here.
