Sky TV customers are in for a treat this November with Netflix and more Ultra HD 4K content arriving on the platform from today.
The satellite TV firm’s joint venture with Netflix sees the two services side-by-side for the very first time with shows from both companies available in one place.
Sky has officially confirmed that Netflix is available to Sky Q customers now.
If you have a Sky Q and Netflix account there’s two ways to watch with a basic app offering easy access to Netflix content or a more interactive service called Ultimate On Demand.
This new option will allow Netflix and Sky content to appear side-by-side within in the main Q home screen making it simple to watch shows from both services.
vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.
The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
Sky has confirmed that Ultimate on Demand will cost £10 per month which includes access to Sky Box Sets (usually £5 per month) and Netflix Standard (£7.99) – giving customers a saving of £2.99 per month.
There’s also a more premium Sky Q Experience bundle which includes the ability to view shows in Ultra HD.

Partnering with Netflix means we will have all the best TV in one great value pack, making it even easier for you to watch all of your favourite shows”.
