We have a Now TV entertainment subscription in our household and every time we tell them we are leaving they offer us 3 months more for under a fiver.

Check your amazon account 3 months prime for £11.99 for some people on monthly pay or not subscribed. https://www.amazon.co.uk/amazonprime...mpaignId=PROMO

Same here mate, I got three months for £3.49 per month, bargain!

Absolutely MM as our bigger loyalty out of the streamers has always been Amazon Prime for my partner and l as another family member pays for Netflix which of course we use as well.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Same here. I use my auntie’s Netflix and I pay for Prime Video and Now TV and currently considering DisneyLife, so I can get ready for Disney+.

Sky to create 2,000 jobs with new Elstree TV and film studio

Not the type of financial decision which suggest they are on the wane anytime soon.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

A monumental investment in the UK. Somewhat predictable for such a huge company to secure it’s own position in the content market for years to come.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Not to want to encourage OB especially but they can distribute their content as effectively over IP as they can by satellite.

Whatever the future of broadcast TV, I think it's obvious to Sky that the days when they could more or less dictate the way the pay-TV market operates, by controlling the only nationwide distribution platform as well as rights to all the premium content, are over. If they're going to survive in a fragmented landscape with many distribution platforms and premium content spread thinly across them, then they need to find other ways of being distinctive. If they can produce quality content, that will help them no end.

Amazon have nailed the 4K picture on the Burnley v Man City game first class stream via the V6 box

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

That decision does not necessarily have anything to do with linear TV services.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

The Palace games looks good here to even though only HD.

The Burnley game is also in HDR on some devices.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

l agree with much of what you say as for several years Sky has been adapting their strategy in a changing marketplace with far more competition now then there was then and part of that strategy is less reliance on sport and more diversification in producing high quality content.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Of course the untimely demise of linear isn’t the only um, bold, prediction on the forum. He has, in my view mistakenly, consistently underestimated the ability of the incumbents in the pay tv market to react. In the past consistently the mantra was about how companies are going to come in and steamroller over the top.

When in practice many of us have said that the incumbents, with their huge existing revenues, profits and customer base, are well placed to adapt to the future regardless of how that looks.
