Sky sends important email to TV users with free 'gift' offer – check your inbox now

Business Mayor24-05-2025
It was just over a week ago that some Sky customers were hit with annoying issues when trying to tune into their favourite shows and movies. The UK firm's popular Sky Q boxes suddenly started freezing and showing error messages with many left hugely frustrated by the sudden glitch that affected devices nationwide.
Sky quickly fixed the bug, but some complained they were still having difficulties days after the initial outage. Sky gremlins are incredibly rare, and the company clearly takes what happened incredibly seriously, with numerous messages—and even a text—apologising for the Q box outage.
Now, in a bid to help smooth things over, Sky has issued a new email telling those affected they can grab a free Sky Store Buy & Keep movie.
'We're extremely sorry if you experienced disruption to your Sky Q services recently,' Sky said.
'On the evening of 15 May, a technical issue caused some Sky Q boxes to enter standby mode. Our teams acted quickly to resolve the issue and restore services.
'We're gifting you a Sky Store Buy & Keep movie — it's our way of saying thank you for bearing with us.'
Movies available as part of the gift include blockbusters such as Bullet Train, Jumanji: The Next Level, Les Misérables, Venom, Gladiator, Brides Maids and The Equalizer.
To grab this bonus, Sky Q customers can click on Sky Store from the homepage. Then they will see a 'Your Sky Store gift on us' tile at the top.
It's then simply a question of picking a film. 'Once downloaded, this is yours to keep forever,' Sky added. Read More The extreme robot arm that can chop up a ship
The only thing to be aware of is that users need to make their gift selection before 31 May.
Along with dishing out free movies, Sky is also reminding anyone still see Q box issues to give things a reboot.
If you're still experiencing disruption to your Sky Q services, you need to try the following steps:
• Switch off your Sky Q box at the mains.
• Wait for 30 seconds.
• Switch it back on to restore services.
• Please also reboot your main Sky Q box if you're having problems with a connected Mini box.
Hopefully, this will fix things and get your viewing back to normal.

Brooke Hogan Addresses 'Beef' with Dad Hulk Hogan's Widow Sky Daily

The former reality star reacted to speculation that she's feuding with her late father's widow after Sky slammed the "heartbreakingly misleading media stories created by faceless AI accounts or by people not close enough to truly know what was happening." Brooke Hogan is speaking out on claims that she is feuding with her late father Hulk Hogan's widow, Sky Daily. On Thursday, the 37-year-old former reality star took to her Instagram Stories to shut down speculation that she has "beef" with Sky, reacting to a post Sky shared a day prior. The WWE legend's widow opened up about Hogan's funeral in an Instagram post, below, sharing the tribute video that played at the "beautiful" service, while also slamming the "heartbreakingly misleading media stories created by faceless AI accounts or by people not close enough to truly know what was happening." In response, Brooke shared a statement on her Instagram Stories, addressing claims by some fans that Sky threw shade at her with her post. "Everyone, stop trying to say Sky 'shaded me.' I don't feel like she did at all. I thought her post was respectful and classy and I have said in EVERY interview that she was always nice to me," she wrote. "Me and her don't have beef as far as I know." Brooke -- who didn't attend the funeral -- also reacted to Sky revealing in her Instagram post that Hogan, who died of a heart attack at the age of 71 last month, has not been cremated yet, writing "our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first." In her post, Brooke said she was previously informed that her late father was "cremated without an autopsy which of course freaked me out," before learning that "he has not been cremated yet and [Sky's] doing the research." Hogan died on July 24. While the medical examiner's report showed that the wrestler's cause of death was a heart attack, the records also listed that Hogan had been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), according to Page Six. Brooke -- who recently claimed that the news of her father's leukemia diagnosis came as a total shock to her -- went on to write in her post that while she doesn't believe any "foul play" is "suspected" in Hogan's passing, her late father "had a very complicated medical history." "Hearing what was coming out was shocking to me, given that I've seen MULTIPLE near-perfect blood panels of my father's and then all of a sudden everything's different? Anyone would want answers. And she's doing just that," she wrote of Sky. The Hogan Knows Best alum concluded her post by telling her followers, "Stop twisting stuff, people." Brooke also addressed her father's death earlier on Thursday in a post shared to her Instagram Stories, revealing her offer to "pay" for Hogan's autopsy. "I'm glad to see that my dad has not been cremated and that Sky is waiting because of family questions," she said. "With all of the speculation and uncertainty of my dad's death, I want to personally offer to pay for an autopsy if that's what it takes to get it done. My dad's dignity and legacy deserves it." Brooke -- who is the daughter of Hogan and his first wife Linda Hogan -- was estranged from her family in recent years, and did not attend his funeral. She married former professional ice hockey player Steven Olesky in June 2022, and the two welcomed twins earlier this year. Although Hogan did not attend Brooke's wedding, the latter emotionally revealed that her late father did walk her down the aisle one time -- even if it was just pretend. On Thursday, Brooke shared a video on Instagram that featured a throwback clip of a "fake" wedding between her and wrestler Bully Ray -- aka Bubba Ray Dudley -- in 2013, which was a TNA storyline. In the clip, Hogan walked Brooke -- who was wearing a wedding dress -- down the aisle. "Something hit me today... it may have been for a storyline... it may have been fake," she wrote in the post's caption. "But I remember this moment like it was yesterday.... I actually teared up when I saw my daddy emerge in suit to walk me down the aisle - into a wrestling wring of all things." "I actually got nervous and emotional, as if it were real... then he whispered to me 'chill out, it's a work,'" she continued. "But for some reason, I still felt proud. Even Dixie Carter said something about it struck an emotional chord." "So although I didn't get to achieve this experience in real life unfortunately, I can try to fuse two happy memories into one - and make a happy ending of my own to hold on to...," Brooke added. "I can officially say. 'My dad did walk me down the aisle one time...' 😔" Brooke's latest Instagram posts come after she appeared on the Bubba The Love Sponge podcast on Tuesday. She spoke to the radio personality about her dad's passing, their complicated relationship, and Hogan's marriage to Sky. Brooke said that she dug into Sky's past after her dad shared some troubling tidbits about their relationship, and found out she was a Scientologist. "Somebody brought it to our attention that she was a Scientologist," Brooke shared. "She said she was a Scientologist but she said she left. But I started digging a little bit deeper -- trust me, I don't really know much about Scientology but I'm just telling you what my digging did." She continued, "She's still in good standings. And when I brought that up to my dad, he goes, 'She just doesn't want to leave because she wants her kids to be able to see the grandparents and this and that.' Her grandparents are like, highest level, OT8, I believe -- Or her parents." "I kind of told my dad, I said listen, 'This is what I have.' I had a friend that was ex-FBI look into the situation, and I was kind of really going to bat for my dad, and saying, 'Hey, you need to be careful. If you want to date her, cool. Just don't get married. You don't have to," she continued. "And I was concerned about everything else too." After his death, TMZ reported Brooke asked, in 2023, to be removed from her father's will.

Hulk Hogan's Cremation Halted Amid Family's Foul Play Suggestion—There's ‘Uncertainty' Around His Death

Hulk Hogan's cremation has been put on hold after his daughter, Brooke Hogan, raised suspicions about the real cause of his death. Hulk, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died at his home in Clearwater, Florida, on July 24, 2025. He was 71 years old. According to officials, Hulk collapsed while doing therapy and was taken to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His official cause of death was listed as acute myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, with his medical records revealing he had been battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia and atrial fibrillation before his passing.

Page Six confirmed that Hulk was set to be cremated. The week of his funeral, Hogan's only daughter, Brooke—whom he had been estranged from since 2023 and didn't attend the ceremony—reposted an article on her Instagram from Hogan's friend, Bubba the Love Sponge, which read: 'Quick cremation without autopsy raises questions about Hulk Hogan's death.' Brooke responded to the post by writing: 'Exactly.' In another Instagram Story on August 7, 2025, Brooke confirmed that Hulk's funeral had been put on hold due to 'questions' from the wrestler's widow, Sky Daily. 'I'm glad to see that my dad has not been cremated and that Sky is waiting because of family questions,' Brooke wrote before offering to pay for an autopsy to investigate the cause of Hulk's death further. 'With all of the speculation and uncertainty of my dad's death, I want to personally offer to pay for an autopsy if that's what it takes to get it done. My dad's dignity and legacy deserves it.' After Brooke's post, the Clearwater Police Department seemed to deny any wrongdoing around Hulk's death in a statement. 'As previously stated, there are no signs of foul play or anything suspicious about the death,' the statement read. Sky, for her part, confirmed in her own Instagram post that cremation was what Hulk personally 'chose' to happen to his body after his death. 'Terry chose cremation knowing this physical life is temporary and his heavenly body eternal,' she wrote. 'He has not yet been cremated, as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first. Once we have that peace of mind, we will honor his wish and fulfill it with love and respect.' Daily also called out 'heartbreaking misleading media stories' that have been put out by 'faceless AI accounts' or 'people not close enough to truly know what was happening' after Hulk's death. She ended her post, 'Please be patient and know this: he was deeply loved, well cared for, and surrounded by that love until his very last moment.' Hulk and Daily married in September 2023 after around a year of dating. Before his relationship with Sky, Hulk was married to makeup artist Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021. He was also married to Brooke's mother, Linda Hogan, from 1983 to 2009. Along with Brooke, Hulk and Linda also shared son, Nick Hogan, who did attend his funeral unlike his sister. In an Instagram post after Hulk's funeral, Brooke explained why she wasn't present at the ceremony. 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one,' she wrote. 'And although I know people grieve in many ways — and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him — as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him.' She continued, 'Daddy, we honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved. Molly loved the water. I think she'll be a 'little fish' as you called me. We love you and honor the things that made you so special. Every grain of sand and every wave reminded me of being your beach baby, and brought us closer to you. I pray you are at peace and know how dearly I love you. Rest in heaven, Daddy.'

Hulk Hogan's wife shreds ‘heartbreakingly misleading' stories after his funeral

Sky Daily, the wife of the late Hulk Hogan, cautioned that there is false information being spread after the wrestling icon was laid to rest in a private funeral on Tuesday in Clearwater, Fla. Hogan, who died on July 24 from a heart attack at the age of 71, and his family, including ex-wife Linda and their two kids, Brooke and Nick, have been in the headlines over behind-the-scenes drama. 'There are heartbreakingly misleading media stories created by faceless AI accounts or by people not close enough to truly know what was happening,' Sky, 46, wrote Wednesday in an Instagram post, which included a tribute video to the WWE Hall of Famer. 'Please be patient and know this: he was deeply loved, well cared for, and surrounded by that love until his very last moment.' Sky did not name anyone or mention a specific story. Her remarks came after Brooke's appearance on the 'Bubba the Love Sponge' show Tuesday, when she mentioned Sky's alleged history with Scientology. 4 Hulk Hogan and his wife Sky Daily. Instagram/Sky Daily Brooke told Bubba the Love Sponge, a former close friend of Hogan before the wrestler's sex tape scandal, that she took herself out of her father's will because she was 'scared,' adding, 'I don't want to fight Scientology. I don't want somebody that I love to get knocked off.' Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, had been at the center of conspiracy theories, as rumors had been circulating about the state of his health in the weeks before his death. Since mid-June, Bubba the Love Sponge reported that the iconic wrestler was in the ICU and on his deathbed — which a rep for Hogan, as well as Sky, denied. 4 Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan. Instagram/Brooke Hogan Hogan was taken by ambulance from his home in Clearwater, Fla., on July 24, with a 911 call citing 'cardiac arrest.' He died at the hospital. The next day, Sky called his death 'sudden' in an Instagram message. Hogan previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat, according to the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center records obtained by Page Six. His manner of death was ruled natural, according to the cremation summary approval report. 4 Hulk Hogan at the US premiere of the film 'War of the Worlds,' at the Zigfield Theatre in New York, June 23, 2005.

'He has not yet been cremated, as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first. Once we have that peace of mind, we will honor his wish and fulfill it with love and respect.' Of Hogan's funeral, Sky said it was 'one of the most beautiful and moving days I have ever experienced.' 4 New York Post cover for Friday, July 25, 2025. Front Page. R.I.P. Hulk. Wrestling superstar, pop-culture icon Hogan dead at 71. csuarez 'In the same church where we were married and baptized together, we gathered with family, friends, and loved ones to honor a life that touched millions,' she wrote. 'The church was filled with stories… some that brought tears, others that made us laugh through those tears… and with every memory shared, you could feel the love that surrounded him. 'The pastor of our church prepared this moving video for the service that reflects his unwavering Christian faith- a faith that anchored him and brought him peace every day.' Brooke did not attend the funeral and instead, she said she honored her father in a private celebration of life at the beach with her husband, former NHL defenseman Steve Olesky, and their infant twins. 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals,' she wrote on Instagram. 'He didn't want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways – and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him. The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves… and the sunset.'
