EU accuses Sky and Hollywood's big six of illegally 'geo-blocking' film access.

http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...ccess-to-films

Quote:

If upheld, the charges could change the way subscription television services are paid for and watched throughout the European Union. With pay-TV stations largely operating within national boundaries, there are potential big repercussions for a market of more than 500 million consumers if they are allowed to buy content from any EU broadcaster, regardless of where they live.

Foxtel iQ3

The Telegraph article says this but the Foxtel box uses Pace hardware and software. http://community.foxtel.com.au/t5/An...ALED/td-p/7103

I assume the Sky UK box would be developed by Sky in-house in Brentwood.

Apologies I deleted my post as I was trying to change link and thought I'd start again lol.

That UI looks very similar to the Liberty Global Horizon box.

I can't see anything in the article suggesting SKY are denying it, unless I'm not reading it correctly?

At the foot of the article, there's an additional paragraph:
Quote:

Stuff.tv UPDATE: Since publishing this story, we've been told by a source close to Sky that the company has no plans to announce any new products within the next few weeks. So maybe put those celebratory beers back on ice for a little while.
