Sky's added a new freebie to its TV package and customers can save £288
The provider has added an extra feature to the package for free, in a limited time deal
Sky is handing out ultra high definition (UHD) for free in its newly reduced Sky Stream, TV, and Netflix package.
The streaming contract is already £6 cheaper per month but this mean viewers will also not have to pay the £6 UHD add on - saving a huge £12 per month or £288 across the 18-month contract.
Sky is known to frequently drop the price of its popular Stream, TV, and Netflix packages but in its newest surprise deal the provider has gone an extra step further. Offering its usually paid-for add-on 'Ultra HD' for free, for anyone that locks into the contract.
Priced at a cheaper £26 per month, Sky shoppers are already saving a huge £108 per year on the contract, and can now make the most of its freebie Ultra HD feature for no added cost, which tops up the savings amount to a huge £288.
If you aren't aware of the contract, this popular TV pick usually includes Sky's nifty Stream box (which can plug into any HDMI-port telly), a basic Netflix account and Sky TV channels.
The added ultra high definition feature usually costs viewers £6 on top of the existing Sky Stream package price, but instead, Sky's scrapped the fee for bill payers. As its site says "includes Ultra HD on us".

Sky is handing out ultra high definition (UHD) for free in its newly reduced Sky Stream, TV, and Netflix package.
The streaming contract is already £6 cheaper per month but this mean viewers will also not have to pay the £6 UHD add on - saving a huge £12 per month or £288 across the 18-month contract.
Without the provider's existing Sky Stream price drop of £6 and scrapping the Ultra HD £6 fee the exact same package would usually cost an extra £12 per month. That's a saving of £288 across the 18-month contract if you were to take out the Stream package and click the UHD add-on.
Ultra High Definition helps boost the picture quality, giving viewers a better experience for their money. It has four times more pixels than the standard HD TV, so you'll see more detail when watching sports, movies and TV. It's not available on all types of Sky content and is restricted to select sports and entertainment content.
However, as the Sky Stream box (that doesn't need any pesky satellite dishes or installation fees) can be used on older TV - as long as they have an HDMI port - it's a chance for viewers without the latest smart telly to get better quality viewing for a fraction of the price it would cost if it was installed into the TV, like the Sky Glass set for example.
