Re: General Sky TV Discussion
EU accuses Sky and Hollywood's big six of illegally 'geo-blocking' film access.

If upheld, the charges could change the way subscription television services are paid for and watched throughout the European Union. With pay-TV stations largely operating within national boundaries, there are potential big repercussions for a market of more than 500 million consumers if they are allowed to buy content from any EU broadcaster, regardless of where they live.

I assume the Sky UK box would be developed by Sky in-house in Brentwood.

Stuff.tv UPDATE: Since publishing this story, we've been told by a source close to Sky that the company has no plans to announce any new products within the next few weeks. So maybe put those celebratory beers back on ice for a little while.
