With a huge selection of entertainment, movie and sports channels to choose from, it's easy to see why Sky TV is so popular. But the prices for a full Sky subscription can be eye-watering.
While the lure of shows such as Westworld and Game of Thrones can be appealing, the thought of being tied in to an expensive contract can feel off-putting. The good news is you don't have to take out a long Sky subscription to watch Sky channels.
Read on for more information on TV services that will let you watch Sky TV without a Sky subscription, including Now TV, Virgin Media and TalkTalk.

Try Now TV
Now TV is an internet TV streaming service powered by Sky. It offers live streaming and on-demand content from popular Sky channels - so, you can watch Sky shows as they're going out live, or catch up on them at a later date.
Crucially, you don't have to be a Sky subscriber to use Now TV. Instead you simply buy 'passes' for a day, week or month to access the channels that you want. When your pass expires it rolls over into a monthly subscription fee, but you can cancel at any time. See how Now TV compares to popular streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, using our TV streaming service reviews.
Streaming services broadcast over the internet, so you don't need a satellite dish to watch Now TV (though you do need a broadband connection of at least 2.5Mbps or a mobile signal of 180Kbps if you plan to watch using 3G or 4G).
You'll also need a device that can use the Now TV app. Some smart TVs come with this preinstalled, but if yours doesn't, you can watch Now TV in a few different ways.

One of the easiest, cheapest ways to watch Now TV is to buy a dedicated Sky Now TV box or smart stick, which cost as little as £15. This may even include a trial of free passes to watch the content, which in effect pays for the cost of the Now TV box itself.
A YouTube box will also give you access to the Now TV app - or you can install the app on a tablet, smartphone or PC.

Add Sky channels to a service from another provider
If you've already got a TV subscription with a different provider, such as Virgin Media or BT TV, you can add most of Sky's channels to these services.
To do this, you add a 'bolt on' to your existing pay TV service. For example, you can pay BT £16 a month to add 11 Sky Movie channels to your package. There's usually no contract to do this, you just pay on a monthly basis.
If you're looking for some channels to keep the little ones happy, you can simply add children's channels to yourTV and broadband bundle - for example TalkTalk's Kids Boost adds nine children's channels, including Nickelodeon, Boomerang and Cartoon Network.
Use a shared Sky subscription
If a friend or family member already subscribes to Sky, then you can register as a secondary user and still watch Sky shows.
Now TV (see above), for example, allows you to register up to four compatible devices (such as a Now TV box, a laptop, or a tablet). The service lets you watch programmes on two devices at the same time, so four members of an extended family won't all be able to tune into Game of Thrones simultaneously on different devices.
Alternatively, Sky Go is a streaming service that allows Sky subscribers to watch programmes away from the home. This lets Sky customers register two devices (or four, if you pay more for Sky Go Extra).
In effect, this would let you log in to watch Sky programming if you used the account details of a family member who has a Sky subscription. However, users are meant to be part of the same household as the primary Sky account holder, according to Sky.

...or, stick with Freeview
If you decide that none of the above options work for you, then one alternative is to stick with Freeview. It may not offer the same sports or movie range as Sky, but it still gives you a huge selection of channels for no cost at all (other than the charge for a TV licence).
With the addition of a Freeview PVR, you can pause, rewind and record live TV, as well as setting a planner and series-link. These are all features you would get with a Sky box. You won't, however, have access to the same sports, movies and entertainment channels. Head to our round-up of the Best Buy Freeview PVRs to see which models impressed the experts in our lab.
If that's not enough for you, and you want even more channels, then Freesat offers more than 200 channels and on-demand TV from the likes of the BBC and ITV. To get it, you just need a Freesat box or a TV with Freesat built-in, plus a Freesat satellite dish. As with Freeview, there's no ongoing subscription cost. Read in depth reviews of all the latest models using our Freesat PVRs and set top box reviews.

Sky introduced that its non-contract streaming service, pay-as-you-go, Now TV is now available on Apple TV in the UK. The service will only help Sky Sports day get through now, though.
Now sports followers in the UK will have the opportunity to purchase the 24-hour cross for £ 9.99 via their iTunes account, which provides unlimited entry to Sky Sports 1, 2, 3, 4, Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports News for the day.
“It was a busy year for Now TV, as we continue to expand access to our high quality content, launching on the popular platforms that our customers use,” said Now TV director Gidon Katz.
“Now TV Sky Sports daily pass is perfect for sports fans with Apple TV who want the flexibility to choose which live events they want to watch from the comfort of their own sofa.”
Since its launch in March 2012, Now TV has moved to your PC, Mac, Android, iOS, Roku, YouView, Xbox and PlayStation. Which platforms will help you more than just getting through the day with sports, however, and we want to see different Now TV options coming to Apple TV sooner or later, like Sky Movies and Sky Entertainment.
Having stated that, with the addition of Sky Sports on Apple TV, customers now have access to a large amount of content material on the system, increasing Apple’s presence in the lounge.
UK prospects are likely to be in a position to watch iTunes movies and TV shows, listen to their favorite music, access Netflix, Sky News, Bloomberg, YouTube, Vevo, Vimeo, Flickr, Crunchyroll and more on Apple TV and new channels are often added, meaning that the $ 99 field’s attraction is increasing.
It is rumored that Apple is working to turn Apple TV directly into a decoder with an iOS-like interface and cloud-based DVR performance, to erase excellence between permanent TV and demand, so we’re trying to figure out what it is the system in the 12 months of 2014.
