In theory, you could still access other non-Sky satellite services operating in Europe, but that assumes that Sky don't disable the boxes completely. What are the chance$?

SKY would simply license their content to streaming services, infact they already are doing this with Netflix.
Companies like SKY always have something up their sleeves to keep the cash flowing.
