Sky Q
Sky Q is not only an extensive range of additional TV channels. It also offers users the widest selection of on-demand 4K content, including titles from Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video.
Users can adjust their package to include content from film, sport, TV shows or children’s shows. There is also a Sky Store where users can rent/purchase other options not included in the subscription service.
Users can watch Sky on their Smart TVs, via a SkyBox, or via the Sky Go App on a phone, tablet, games console or computer.
Sky has gone a little further in protecting children and young people safely stream by developing a new parents guide, in conjunction with Common Sense Media. The parent’s guide gives content a rating of 1 – 5 against eight themes:
-
Positive Messages
-
Positive role models
-
Violence and scariness
-
Sex
-
Language
-
Consumerism
-
Drink, drugs and smoking
-
Educational
Sky Q also offers extensive parental controls, which we have highlighted below:
Users can create PIN codes which will restrict access to certain shows and prevent unauthorised purchases
Sky offers parents and carers ‘Kids Safe Mode’, which only has content rated U
Parents and carers can hide adult channels
Add a PIN for access to the Sky Go App
All trailers have ratings as per BBFC specifications
