Some information in that linked is contradicted by events that happened after it was published - such as

Quote:
Satellite operator SES has also previously confirmed that Sky has secured carriage on its satellites until the “end of 2028”.

Which comes from a linked article which was published in 2022.

Previously, you pointed out that the contract was extended to 2030, and I pointed out that SES was launching two more satellites next year.

You are the one obsessing with a "streaming only" future by 2035 - nearly every one else thinks it will be a hybrid model.
I acknowledge the two additional satellites and Sky’s contract with SES. By the way, I also accept that the 2029 date was extendable, but the article makes clear that this will be only a time limited extension that is unlikely to be extended further.

The article I attached also explains that Sky will not want to be continuing to pay for expensive transponder space when they have Sky Stream available. Sky has stopped promoting Sky Q already, concentrating on their Stream and Glass alternatives.

If you want to fantasise that nothing will change, that’s fine, Hugh. I’ll leave you to comfort yourself with that thought.
