Sky & Freesat services to continue until 2029
 
Sky have extended their contract with SES until 2029, assuring the continuation of SkyQ & Sky+HD channel availability. With Arqiva also confirming contract renewals, Freesat is also certain to continue until 2029.

It is questionable whether there will be any further extensions to this, as the service life of the present Astra satellite cluster also coincides with the end of these contracts.

By then I would imagine the manner in which our entertainment is delivered to us will have changed completely.

It’ll most likely be streaming only by 2035 unless the government intervenes.

In the past we thought that satellite was the answer to entertainment distribution, thing change quickly, who knows what the next step is but streaming does seem to be the logical step.

The customer absorbs the cost of distribution

Memory implants... Why spend time watching something when you can recall watching it! :)
