Sky customers could be overpaying for the TV service amid a very common mistake affecting UK users.
Those paying a Sky TV subscription may be overcharged for the service, seeing customers pay more than they need to.
This is because Sky TV comes with Netflix as standard, seeing those with an older account paying double.
To avoid this overcharging, you should link you're old Netflix account to your Sky TV account, allowing you to avoid filling out any paperwork.

How to unsubscribe from Netflix through Apple amid overcharging fears
However, you may run into problems if you signed up to Netflix using Apple years ago when this service was still available.
Before 2018, it was possible to join Netflix using the details saved by Apple on your device but this has since changed with users being directed to sign up via the Netflix website.
The Sun reported that one customer was having issues with this, with the Apple user saying: "We have Netflix & recently got Sky Q, which already includes it."
They added: "The info said, Sky would sort it so that we weren't going to be charged for Netflix outwith (sic) our sky plan, but we're still being charged through our Apple account.
"How do we stop these payments, please?"

With some having difficulty syncing their accounts via Apple, this is one way you could do it.
Simply look at your iPhone's subscriptions by tapping settings, selecting your name and hitting subscriptions to see if Netflix is listed.
If you continue to have issues, contact Apple support to resolve the problem.
How do I cancel my Netflix if I get it from Sky?
Non-Apple users will have to contact Sky to cancel their Ultimate TV package to get out of the Netflix provided to them by the media company.
This is a 30-day rolling subscription much like normal Netflix.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
