Some Sky TVs and set-top boxes are getting an upgrade this week with 5 bonus channels arriving in more UK homes. The blockbuster update, which was spotted by the team at RXTV, brings bonus music services such as NOW 80s, NOW ROCK and Clubland TV to Sky Glass tellies and Sky Stream devices. Until now these services were only available on older Sky Q devices but that will all change this week.
Thanks to this release, more homes will be able to tune into back-to-back music – there’s even a channel dedicated to Christmas songs in the run-up to the festive period.
Here is the full list of new channels and what number they will appear on.
• Clubland TV – find it on channel 354
• NOW 70s – find it on channel 355
• NOW 80s – find it on channel 356
• NOW XMAS – find it on channel channel 357
• NOW ROCK – find it on channel 358
You shouldn’t need to do anything to your current equipment with the boost arriving via free over the air update which is being pushed out from November 20.
Along with that channel upgrade, there could be another big reason to consider switching to Sky’s Stream platforms. The company has just confirmed its big Black Friday sale with its Sky Stream box now slashed to the ‘lowest ever’ price.
That means you can now sign up and get this device for £19 per month – that even includes full Netflix access.

For those unaware, Sky Stream is a diddy device that uses the web to beam content to the big screen.
It can be DIY installed, offers easy access to live and on-demand shows plus you’ll get full personalised recommendations of things to watch.
It even ships with a backlit remote control to make it easier to pump up the volume and change channels when the lights get low.
