What’s on Sky Box Sets?

There are a huge range of television series included with Sky Box Sets as we’ve already mentioned. There are hundreds of both UK and US television series available to be streamed at home and on the go with Sky Go.

Some of the most popular television shows to have aired on Sky, such as Sky Atlantic blockbusters Westworld and Game of Thrones, will be available to watch on demand. Bear in mind that there is often a rotation of TV series, which means some titles will be missing until they are put back on.

Yes, you can. If you already have a Sky bundle that doesn’t have Box Sets included, there is the option to add it to your existing package at a cost of £5 a month.

Is Sky Box Sets on demand?

One of the main advantages of having Sky Box Sets is that it is on demand with a catch-up TV feature. It’ll work like any other streaming service, letting you browse for your favourite TV shows and watching them whenever you like.

Sky TV programmes that have aired on earlier dates will be available for you to stream, along with the option to watch other free-to-use streaming platforms such as BBC iPlayer.

Is there a Sky Box Sets bundle?

There are a wide range of Sky bundles up for grabs, all offering different features and services. Sky Box Sets are included in some of the current Sky deals. See the final point in this article for more information, where we’ll show you the latest deals that include Sky Box Sets with the Ultimate On Demand add-on.

What broadband do I need for Sky Box Sets?

Streaming services like Sky Box Sets require high internet speeds to deal with the amount of bandwidth. Any fibre broadband would be sufficient, such as Sky Broadband Superfast, which will optimise your viewing experience.

Adding Sky Broadband Superfast to your Sky Box Sets bundle will vastly improve speeds on your home broadband connection. Your TV downloads will be significantly faster than with Sky Broadband Essential, too.

Can I get Sky Box Sets on Virgin Media TV?

Sky Box Sets is exclusive to Sky, although Virgin Media TV still has an impressive on-demand range of their own. Mix TV includes Sky One and Fox, while the Full House package gives you access to a selection of box sets, such as Criminal Minds and Game of Thrones.

Can I get Sky Box Sets on BT TV?

BT TV has three main TV on-demand packages that all include AMC, a channel that is exclusive to BT in the UK with some seriously stellar box set names on it, including Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Fear the Walking Dead.

Can I get Sky Box Sets on TalkTalk TV?

Talk Talk TV’s box set offering is probably the most limited of the lot, although its TV Plus Box comes with Sky One and Fox, so you’ll have access to some of Sky’s series, but not the blockbuster ones that come with the Sky Atlantic channel.
