Ee sky package

[JH1000]

Hi all. I’m moving from Sky Q (tv and broadband) to EE broadband with the complete Sky package in a couple of weeks. 

Has anyone else done this and is it worthwhile? I’m getting exactly the same Sky channels I currently get but on EE with EE/BT broadband. Works out cheaper than Sky. 

I’ve been told EE uses BT broadband. Also been told that the Home Screen will be different to that of Sky Q. Does anyone have a screenshot of what the new Home Screen will look like? And am I right in saying I only need one box and I can still use other TV’s by signing in to them via the actual TV? I’ve gone for 3 boosters as I have a wide house and Sky didn’t work without the extra boosters. 

Any insight or help with the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

@JH1000  I don't have EE TV, but the following Help pages may guide through some of your questions.

@Mustrum : You're way out-of-date. EE discontinued EE TV a year or 2 back. The OP is interested in Sky TV & also the usual connecting Smart TVs to the EE router.

Which 1 box are you thinking of? You will certainly have an EE router & I understand from your OP that you will be bringing a Sky TV box with you.

@XRaySpeX   I will report the page I copied to get it updated. Must admit I did wonder!

I think the OP may have missed a trick though if they are still getting their TV channels from Sky. Their retentions team are normally quite aggressive in their pricing when people say they are leaving!

Also not sure why the home page would change with a different broadband provider. Or do Sky do a Glass package of internet only channels using your own TV's? Or is it a new box?

So many questions!

@JH1000  EE offer broadband with an Apple TV and with that you can subscribe to NOW TV, you download the Now TV app on to the Apple TV and pay the subscription charge for what package you choose to have. 
 With Now TV you get 4 different subscriptions each with their own costs.  See HERE     Think of it as a Netflix type subscription service. 

you don’t get Sky as such where you pay one fee for the month.

 To have more than one TV being able to watch will require the Now TV app to be installed on a smart TV or other media streaming box that’s connected to that TV. 

You do get access to BT sports because of having the Apple TV with your broadband contract.  

or are you saying you are having your broadband through EE but your TV is going to still be via Sky ?

Thanks all for your replies so far. 
 
To clear up some of the questions….

My Sky bill is normally £100 a month (including Netflix and all the main packages like sport and movies, multi room etc). My contact ends this month and the new bill would’ve been £145! I did barter with them as I always do but they said the absolute best they can do is £130.

Added to this, their broadband has been really bad where I live and I’m fed up with my wifi not working on my phone and other sky Q boxes.  

When I called EE it was only to change the broadband and then they told me that they provide this whole Sky package for £100 including broadband and 3 boosters. So I went with it. I will be sending all my sky boxes back to sky. I’ve been told it’s £75 for the whole EE tv package and £27 for EE broadband, totalling £102, so I’m hoping it’s as straight forward as it sounds and not split up into little costs here and there as you’ve mentioned. 🤞 

I already have a contract with EE on my mobile phone and within that contract, I already get Apple TV and BT sports so I’m not overly fussed about them, though I guess it will be cool not having to use my phone to transfer it to the tv as I currently do. 

I was hoping the Home Screen would be the same as it is on Sky Q but that’s just me being lazy as it’s easy to use. I have no idea how EE/BT are able to offer this whole Sky package as I thought Sky owned all their channels, but I’ll be saving some money and hopefully getting a better broadband service. 

Last question, can anyone that may have this confirm if you still get all the options to watch box sets and catch up tv etc like you currently do with the movie & entertainment package on Sky. 

Thanks again for all your help so far. Hopefully I’ve cleared some things up that have been mentioned.

Thanks, that would seem to clarify things but I'm just puzzled as to just what product EE is providing you with for £75 pm as "the whole EE TV package" considering you already have Apple TV and BT Sport from them.

Sounds like you've signed up to bt tv.

@JH1000  EE don’t offer any sky channels.    Can you post your confirmation email of what you’re receiving.   Remember to remove any personal details.
