Cable Forum - VOD Netflix/Streaming Services

In your opinion , I watch far more shows across Sky Living , Sky One , Sky Atlantic and Sky Arts as we do any other pay TV channel. The Sky channels represent probably the highest viewing figures across pay channels and viewing has been on the up so clearly many don't agree with your opinion.

Don't let facts get in the way of a pay linear TV rant though.

If you pay for TV Player do you get better quality than SD?
I've only tried it on my Fire TV devices and I don't know if its the app on those devices or being the free tier of their service but the picture quality was severely lacking and not something I'd wish to pay even £4 a month for.

I suppose the size of your TV plays a part. I've used the service on a 27 inch Smart TV in my bedroom.

Facebook is launching a new video channel called 'Watch'. Good news = it will be free. Bad news = it will be peppered with advertisements.

I don't think this is for me, but I can see a large swathe of the younger audiences going for the type of programme they will find on there. Not so sure how the commercials will go down, though - I suppose it depends how long the breaks are for.

Walt Disney to launch its own streaming services beginning with ESPN

Quote:

The Walt Disney Company will acquire majority ownership of BAMTech and will launch its ESPN-branded multi-sport video streaming service in early 2018, followed by a new Disney-branded direct-to-consumer streaming service in 2019.
As a result, Disney will end its distribution agreement with Netflix for subscription streaming of new releases, beginning with the 2019 calendar year theatrical slate.

Quote:

In a major strategic shift, Disney announced on Tuesday it would launch a sports-themed ESPN streaming service next year followed by a similar offering with Disney and Pixar movies and television shows in 2019.
While many analysts lauded the effort's long-term goals, uncertainty about Disney's ability to make up for lost revenue from Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) and other sources worried investors. Disney shares closed down 4 percent on Wednesday.
Most believe Disney needed to respond to the migration of viewers from pay-TV packages to digital options sold a la carte, a shift that has hurt the company's cash cow, ESPN.

Sky are going to be adding more channels to Skygo in near future (according to cs) Tcm is one that'll be joining along with misding freeview (except bbc) channels and remaining discovery network channels.
How true this us? We shall see i personally think the cs rep was getting mixed up with the upcoming Skyq online.

Well if they don't get 3g/4g streaming rights then those who have the online only version will be pretty miffed, it'll be nearly as bad as VM TVnotEverywhere.

Let's hope it takes off as more competition for Sky can only be a good thing.
