Interesting… if that is indeed the case, would that mean Sky are going to walk away from the exclusivity deal to let them go D2C with Sky just being an exclusive pay tv partner? Or are they going to collaborate within the current deal and build a HBO Max branded area within the existing Sky ecosystem?

Wasn't today the day Sky was to unveil (trumpet fanfare) 'The Future Of Television'? Or something like that.

Looks a bargain to me . . sometimes I wish I enjoyed TV enough to throw money at it

Prices for Sky Glass start from £13 per month and this includes their base 43″ TV set on a 48-month interest free loan (or £26 over 24 months, and you can also pay £649 upfront instead of the monthly fee). Sky Glass comes in several colours, and you can also get it in a Medium (55″) and Large (65″) size at extra cost. We understand that customers will also need to take the Sky Ultimate TV service at £26 a month (31 day contract). All of this comes with a full 2-year warranty and a free delivery service that includes unboxing and packaging removal.

In addition to Glass, Sky will also offer a Whole Home pack, which includes Sky Stream Pucks (boxes) that can work with your existing TVs (adding Sky TV via streaming for a multi-room solution). But these will attract a £50 upfront cost, as well as a £10 monthly subscription and, oddly, they require a slightly faster minimum download speed of 15Mbps (10Mbps on Sky Glass). Sky’s Apps will also extend access to Tablets and Smartphones etc. The Sky Stream Pucks also include 1 x HDMI v2.1 port, 1 x 100Mbps Ethernet (LAN) port and 1 x AC Power Port.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

Odd that he’s surprised the additional “puck” needs extra bandwidth. Presumably because watching two things at once requires more bandwidth than one.

It’s surprising how fast the bandwidth disappears when you have multiple smart TVs in your home. The article author probably doesn’t have teenagers.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

With the SKY Ultimate being a 31day contract on SKY glass one would think in the future this may be rolled out to replace NOW.
Via a streaming device ofcourse.

Thankfully, my Sony Bravia has them. I am enjoying ‘For All Mankind’, ‘The Morning Show’ and ‘Foundation’ at present on Apple+.

I enjoyed Dickenson and Central Park. Watched them all.

Watched 1 The Morning Show and 1 of Foundation. Love the Foundation books so I had a prior interest in that.
