Can you provide a source and quote?

They don’t even have an Android app which is odd for a streamer. I can’t find any indication it’s on any traditional TV platform anywhere in the world.

And yet Apple aren’t there at launch. There are various possible reasons why. Discussing them here would be mere speculation. But that’s very much the point some of us have been making to you for ages. You seem to think these things are self evident, but the evidence of this week is that they are not self evident; they are rather more complex than you seem willing to entertain.

Sky X and Peacock is NOT the name Media Boy HQ has seen.

We want to see more info from our Sources before we reveal.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Sky X is the name of the IPTV service, in the regions it's already launched.

I think this is the answer to those concerned about forking out shedloads of money for new streaming services. The new Peacock service will be free to all, supported by advertising.

I have been advocating lately that many streamers will offer both an advertising and subscription option and I think this would work for everyone.

However, I guess there will always be those that offer free ad-supported services only (like this one) and those offering subscription only (like Netflix).

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Old news that was announced ages ago although to be fair the part about the possibility of offering everybody the ad supported service is new I suppose.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

That was the part I was referring to. Originally, it looked as though Peacock might only nbe available to Sky satellite and Now TV customers.

However, it did also prompt my observation that this was a good indication that some major streamers might be free, given reports from some forum members that they were concerned about mounting subscription costs as new streamers launched.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

NBCUniversal have already stated they can receive around $5 per subscriber from advertising which seems a pretty good move to me it also gives them a huge customer base.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I agree, but they would attract even more viewers if they also had a subscription model.

Speaking for both myself and my wife, I would certainly watch the ad-free subscription version, but not the free one with unskippable advertisements. I am sure we are not the only ones to say that.

I’ve just signed to a 30-day trial for BritBox. Does anyone know if it’s still in beta testing? If yes, please can I have a rough date for an official launch.
