Subscribe to watch TV from Sky – live and on demand
If you're not already a Sky TV customer you can subscribe to Sky Player and watch Sky TV programmes without a dish, set top box or long-term contract. With a monthly subscription you can watch a range of channels live via the internet, and there's also a selection of programmes you can watch on demand. Minimum contract is just one month.
Sky Player TV Packs
Subscribe to the Sky Player TV Entertainment Pack – then select the premium Sport and Movie channels you'd like to watch. Example Pack combinations are shown below. We're working to add more channels to the Entertainment Pack, and reduce the number of programmes we can't show live.
We'll renew your subscription automatically each month (so you can keep watching) but there's no annual contract so, if you don't want to continue, you can just let us know.

What you need to know
You can watch Sky Player live TV in your web browser on up to 4 computers. All you need is a recent PC or Intel-based Mac, with broadband from any provider. You'll need to install the Microsoft Silverlight 3.0 browser plug-in if you haven't got it already.
You can only watch Sky Movies on your main registered computer or device.
Not all programmes are available – parts of the schedule will be ‘blacked out’ until the rights are cleared and they are available to show online. Details of exactly which programmes are currently blacked out can be found in our Live TV FAQs
You can choose from three viewing quality levels – low, medium and high. The high setting gives a great viewing experience; you'll hardly notice the difference to the quality on your television.
Picture and sound quality will depend on your broadband connection speed, your computer hardware, and whatever else you are using your computer for at the time.
Only one computer or Xbox 360 or Fetch TV SmartBox per household can be used to view live TV channels on Sky Player at any one time. Viewers must be entitled subscribers or members of their household – abuse could result in the suspension of viewing rights.
You must be aged 18 or over to subscribe to the service, and a resident of the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Republic of Ireland.
