Both options are based on Sky's Ultimate TV package that includes the Netflix Basic plan. Sky Stream will launch with the option of either a 30-day or 18-month minimum term. The device has a built-in WiFi receiver to connect to a home's broadband connection, which needs to be at least 10Mb. Sky Stream is similar to the Pucks provided with Sky Glass to create a multiroom experience, and requires just a power supply and HDMI connection to a standard TV set. Sky Stream also offers great flexibility in that customers can subscribe from just 30-days at a time, such as over the holidays, allowing them to access Sky's content without a long-term commitment. While Sky Glass will remain available, Sky Stream opens the door as an affordable way for people to access Sky's TV platform without the requirement of a satellite dish. Sky's streaming service was pioneered with the Sky Glass TV set, but it's so far come with a high barrier to entry due to the requirement to purchase a high-end TV costing from £650, which many people either can't afford or simply don't want. The service has less channels than Sky's Q service, but still boasts over 120 channels, including Sky's exclusive Sky Atlantic channel, which shows Sky Originals like House of the Dragon, Gangs of London and Game of Thrones. Sky Stream uses the Sky Glass platform to deliver Sky's premium content over a broadband connection. For the first time UK customers will be able to access the Sky TV platform via a low-cost streaming device with no need for a satellite dish or a Sky Glass set.
