Was kostet die Sky IPTV Box für Bestandskunden? | IPTV Kaufe
iPtvie Redaktion · October 22, 2024
Sky's IPTV hardware has evolved significantly over the years, and pricing for existing customers differs from new subscriber offers. If you are evaluating whether to stay with Sky, upgrade your hardware, or switch to a more flexible IPTV solution, here is what you need to know.
Sky Stream and Sky Glass: Current Hardware Options
Sky currently offers two main hardware paths for UK customers:
Sky Stream Puck
A compact streaming puck that connects to your existing TV via HDMI. Prices vary by promotion and contract length — Sky typically offers it at a reduced upfront cost as part of a monthly subscription commitment. Existing customers may receive discounted offers when upgrading from older equipment.
Sky Glass
Sky Glass is a full QLED television with Sky's platform built in. It eliminates the need for a separate satellite dish and works entirely over your broadband connection. Available on 0% finance plans, the ongoing cost is a combination of TV finance payments and a monthly Sky subscription.
The Real Cost: Hardware Plus Subscription
The hardware price is only part of the equation. A full Sky subscription including entertainment, sports, and cinema content typically runs £50–80+ per month in the UK, depending on the package. Over a 24-month contract, that is a significant commitment.
The Alternative: Flexible IPTV Without Long Contracts
For viewers who want access to live sport, entertainment, and international channels without a multi-year contract, IPTV subscriptions like iptvie offer a compelling alternative. Key differences:
- No proprietary hardware required — use any device you already own
- Switch or upgrade your plan anytime — monthly and annual plans available
- 30,000+ channels including UK sports broadcasters, at a fraction of the cost
- Works on Fire Stick, Smart TV, phone, tablet, Apple TV (one device streaming at a time)

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my Sky broadband and switch to a different TV service?
Yes. Sky broadband is completely separate from Sky TV. You can cancel your Sky TV subscription and continue with the broadband, then use an IPTV service on any device for your TV content.
Do I lose anything switching from Sky to IPTV?
Sky's own apps (Sky Go, Sky Store) and some exclusive Sky Originals are only available through Sky. However, the major sports broadcasters, news channels, and entertainment content available through Sky Sports and TNT Sports are accessible via IPTV.
Is IPTV as reliable as Sky?
A quality IPTV provider on a fast broadband connection delivers stream quality comparable to Sky. Server reliability varies between providers — this is why choosing an established service matters.
