SKY is launching a brand new service from today, and it will set entertainment fans back by just £6.
TV lovers can now get their hands on a brand new TV set for just 20p a day, as the broadcasting giant launches Sky Glass Air.
The new TV can be purchased via a 48 month interest free loan, as the broadcaster aims to tempt Sky Q users to make the switch.

The cheapest package available with the new TV is Sky Essential TV, which comes with 100 channels, including Sky Atlantic, and Netflix and Discovery+, all for just £15.
Combined, for £21 per month, viewers are effectively paying less than 70p per day for the TV and service.
Unlike Sky Q, which is currently being phased out, Sky Glass Air relies on internet connection to beam TV channels to your home, instead of a satellite dish.
This means that installation for the new TV service will be simple, as you won't have to get an engineer to come round and start drilling through your walls.
Sky Glass was launched back in 2019, but users were unimpressed with the thick built in Soundbar.
The broadcaster hopes that the thinner soundbar on the Sky Glass Air will tempt more Sky Q users to make the switch.
The new TV, which goes on sale today, June 10, comes in three colours - Sea Green, Carbon Grey, and Cotton White.
There are three different sizes, 43 inches (from £6 a month), 55-inches (from £10 a month), and 65 inches (from £13 a month).
"With Sky Glass Air, we're bringing the Sky experience to more people through a beautifully designed TV with stunning picture quality from just £6 a month," said Carli Kerr, MD of Sky TV & NOW.

"It's all about giving people better for less: more choice, great tech, and the content they love, without compromising on quality.
"From the ultimate performance of Glass Gen 2 to the incredible value of Air, there's now a Sky Glass to suit everyone, whether you're new to Sky or already with us."
Customers can also choose to pay for the TV set outright if they wish, with the 43 inch model costing £309, and the 55 inch set costing £509.
The 65 inch TV is priced at £649.
What are Sky's early termination fees?
SKY TV customers will incur an early termination fee if they choose to cancel their contract before the end of the agreed minimum term.
The amount you're charged depends on: How long is left of your minimum term from the date your subscriptions end, calculated in days
The days you have already been billed for in advance
The products you subscribe to, the price you pay for them and when your subscriptions end
For Sky TV, early termination charges range from £14.00 to £42.89 per month, depending on the specific package.
For instance, if you cancel a standard Sky TV package priced at £33.82 per month with 12 months remaining on a 24-month contract, you would be required to pay the remaining 12 months' fees in one lump sum.
This would result in a total early termination fee of £405.84.
Entertainment fans can also upgrade to to Sky Ultimate TV for an extra £7 per month, which gives viewers access to Sky Max, Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky History, Sky Showcase and more.
Sky revealed that 90% of new users opt for Sky Glass or Sky Stream, but it is struggling to win over Sky Q fans.
Paolo Pescatore, an expert for PP Foresight, told The Sun: "The majority of its existing subscribers are still on the tried and trusted Sky Q platform which relies on a satellite dish.
"Converting this base is taking the company much longer than it originally expected."
One thing that Sky Q customers are not convinced by is the way recordings work, as Sky Glass Air saves everything to the cloud, meaning you can't rely on recordings during rare TV outages.
However the expert added that the new affordable model should "strongly resonate with customers".
