I would relabel "Hard" as "Impossible", and why would Sky they have an app which is universal on tablets and other media streaming device, their own dedicated IP hardware box (Now TV) and of course satellite.
I think Sky would laugh if VM come along and said "we doing an IPTV box would you mind doing a cut price so we can sell on and make profit for us".
Nope cant see it either.
doesnt BT still have an issue with sky rights for their Youview box?
I think VM missed the boat big time on this but he who controls the content can control the output source
