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.

Personally i dropped SKY a few weeks back not even got a ariel connected just watch everything (legally) through my nvidia shield or fire tv cube nowadays much cheaper too i just rotate aroiund the streaming services as needed.
