General facts about Sky Q

If you have connected your Sky Q Receiver to the WLAN, you have thousands of options to use it:

• If you subscribe to Sky, you can get the Sky Q Receiver for free.
• You can of course also receive and record normal TV channels on a Sky Q receiver.
• You can also use a Sky TV stick instead of a Sky Q receiver. This offers a smaller range of functions, but is also cheaper.
• There are different subscriptions on Sky. These are called sky tickets. The Entertainment, Cinema and Supersport packages are available here.
• The "Entertainment" ticket offers thousands of series parallel to the US launch, which is missing from some other services. These include many of Sky 's own productions and exclusive series such as "Game of Thrones".
• The "Cinema" ticket offers over a thousand films, often directly after the film has been released.
• The "Supersport" ticket costs 9.99 euros in the first month and then 29.99 euros per month. You can also buy a day pass for 9.99 euros. This is not a subscription and therefore ends automatically after one day. The ticket not only offers football and Bundesliga conferences, but also serves other sports tastes such as Formula 1, golf, handball and tennis.

You can also use your Sky Q via Windows and MacOS. You can find out how in the next article.
