Sky Signature: What Is It & What Channels Are Included?

Sky Signature is the base television service for Sky Q. It gives you 300+ channels and a range of add-ons like Ultimate TV, Sky Sports, Sky Cinema & more.

In the UK, Sky Signature is Sky’s base television plan for Sky Q customers. You’ll get more than 300 channels through a satellite dish on the Sky Signature service, along with 500+ box sets to watch on-demand.

As of 2024, the Sky Signature plan on Sky Q is being replaced by the Essential TV and Ultimate TV plans on Sky Stream. You can save money on a newer Sky Stream plan, which starts from just £15 per month (prices may change during the minimum term). You’ll also get HD included as standard, along with a more modern box and no need for a satellite dish.

In this article, we’ll review Sky’s television plans including Sky Signature and the Ultimate TV add-on. We’ll also look at the 300+ channels you’ll get included on Sky Signature, along with the add-ons available.

What is Sky Signature?

In the UK, Sky Signature is the base television plan for Sky Q. It gives you access to over 300 channels, including more than 150 channels that are not available on Freeview. You’ll also get 500+ box sets to watch on-demand, allowing you to binge-watch entire series whenever you like.

As of 2024, the Sky Signature plan is still available for customers who are not able to meet the minimum requirements for Sky Stream (namely, you’ll need a broadband connection with a download speed of at least 25Mbps). The following table shows a side-by-side comparison of the plans:

For customers who have been on Sky for some time, the Sky Signature plan combines the older Sky Entertainment (Sky Q) plan with the Sky Box Sets add-on.

You’ll be able to get it from a lower price of just £15 per month, with Netflix and Discovery+ included in the price. You’ll also get HD included as standard (this would cost you an extra £9 per month on Sky Signature).
