It’s also really smart bundling this with Sky Cinema as a way of upselling.
Agree 100% they’re being smart and know the way the tide is moving - they’re shoring up their own content proposition and then augmenting each part of the bundle with an added service or benefit - plus this is very much in sync with Comcast’s plans for TVOS devices by using their own services as an anchor for others.

But the base entry package to get all this devalues with each deal they announce , if you want all this content I'm not sure why you'd pay for Sky and its 18 month lock ins to get it but each to their own.
