Makes perfect sense , I'm sure they'll have plenty of takers.

It certainly seems they're pushing Now TV in recent weeks they've added PS4 and Xbox One support , added more Children's channels and announced the weekly sports pass.

£10.99 is not bad at all. Gives those who want to watch week long events, like the Ryder Cup, an option to watch without needing a SKY subscription.

As I've stated previously I'm considering my options when my current contract with SKY expires. I'm prepared to give Freeview a try along with Netflix and Amazon Instant as an alternative to having SKY. £10.99 for a weeks worth of sport gives me the option to buy the odd week here and there to watch boxing and football as a wee treat. For example if I didn't have SKY Sports I'd consider a weeks pass in October to watch:

11th October - Scotland Vs. Georgia
11th October - Lee Selby Vs. Joel Brukner (Boxing)
14th October - Poland Vs. Scotland

Oh that is MUCH more like it. Currently in the middle of a three month half price deal for Sky Sports but am going to struggle to justify keeping it at the end of the deal now. Thanks, Chad, for info.
