I'm sure it will be competitive with other mobile offerings , it also offers them a 10 million plus subscriber base with which to upsell their mobile deals.

I'd say there all scrapping to retain customers as competition comes thick and fast.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

The more competition the better but they will still be trying to get that extra buck on top.

Quote from article:

"The focus on portability and user-friendliness has been prepared with penetration of 4K screens very low, in spite of prices coming down rapidly."

Of course there isn't get take up of 4K, because there is not enough content available, and people are waiting to see what Sky, Virgin Media, BT are going to produce in 4K and how much more will it cost them to watch it.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I would say portability is of more immediate importance for the likes of Sky and VM , with Netflix and Amazon already offering their content on a multitude of devices with cloud bookmarking this is badly needed.

Is this right or are they getting confused with Sky bringing the new 4k Sky box forward?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I'm not sure it wouldn't surprise me though , Roku in the USA are working on a TV with 4K capabilities using HEVC codec so you'd think a box with similar facilities would also be worked on.

Sky could easily introduce a new Now box with higher quality streams using the h.265 HEVC codec which is more efficient than h.264 for both HD and 4K content.

Edit: I suppose the only problem with using HEVC for HD streams would be that Now TV would be incompatible with current devices being that they aren't capable of handling HEVC.

They've managed to get David Attenborough doing documentaries for them and I though he was welded to the BBC.

Is he making them or doing voice overs?
