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.
