Can also do it on itv hub live stream and 4od live streams.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Britbox has suffered a blow. Sky don't want it on their platform.
BT will be providing the service, but no word yet from Virgin Media.

Amazon Prime isn't on Sky either. Do you think Amazon is doomed also?

There is a great lot of difference between a 160lb gorilla which is Amazon and one called Britbox that weighs about 14 ounces.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
As you know I've been trialling Britbox and I'm not impressed if I'm honest it's certainly not something I'd subscribe to long term and won't bother beyond the trial.

Agreed. That is more likely to be the reason.

Yes, I get that, but my point was that just because Britbox will not appear on Sky doesn't mean it is doomed to failure.

I certainly wouldn't bother with it until they have the originals appearing. At the moment it would appeal more to UKTV and non-subscription audiences.
I don't watch repeats so I'm certainly not going to pay for them!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Getting my annual trial free month of Amazon Prime again, before i cancel in the New year (again) - handy at Xmas time Had it a week and think i've seen everything worth watching as far as tv/movies go.. Unless i'm missing something - please direct me to something worthwhile and British made if i am ! (watched Good Omens)
Don't know why people subscribe for a year. Outside of Xmas time i find Amazon deliver with a day or 2 anyway even if you don't have Prime.

I know what you mean. i think the problem is the interface. there is a lot more available to watch but the fact they shove in things not included in prime makes the whole interface bloated and difficult to find anything

For us, because where we live, they don’t deliver within a day or two if you choose the free 3-5 day delivery. They take 3-5 days.
Also the order deadline for next day delivery is quite late in the evening for many products, if we want something sent to family in Glasgow same day delivery is often available, and when we’re off the mainland they will still deliver free of charge, even though it takes a little longer.
Plus there’s a ton of box sets there I never saw on tv due to not having sky, or having young kids, so I’m doing years of catch up.
And The Boys is really good.

Disney+ Locks Exclusive Distribution Deal With French Pay-TV Giant Canal Plus
https://deadline.com/2019/12/disney-...us-1202809795/
It seems Disney are still open to striking deals for its content outside the US.

The UK looks set to be a non-exclusive deal so we won't have this problem. I assume we'll still have live channels from Fox and National Geographic but will it be goodbye to Sky Movies Disney?

Yes it will be goodbye Sky movies Disney. The whole reason for the delay to UK release and elsewhere in Europe was waiting for the licenses to expire.
