Bizarre, when I entered the link from a google search it let me in to read the article before.
Anyway, just talks about how Sky TV UK are going to be developing their own Smart TVs. They want to further cement their status as the content gatekeepers...NETFLIX already pay big bucks to other companies to ensure their app features prominently on their hardware.
So it seems Sky UK are going beyond the STB to enter the TV market. Using the savings they have made on Sport rights recently to help pay for this new initiative.
Comcast seem happy with their purchase and the future prospects too based on some of the commentary from them.
Although I like rugby, I've always preferred rugby league for various reasons but generally because it's quicker game with less stoppages. It has flaws too such as the almost non existent international game but I'm happy sky have the NRL rights through to 2027.
Rugby has tried to speed up the game with rule changes but until scrums are sorted and the terrible advantage rule gets changed, where a team could play for a few minutes only for a penalty to be given way back in play, it will always be slower.
Totally agree although I am a convert from league to Union. League is dead in the water and will never have an international appeal, Rugby stole that march decades ago.
The United Rugby Championship will amount to pretty much nothing so let Spark pay for it - I won't bother to watch.
Rugby needs to get it's game sorted for Christ's sake - scrums gotta become simple like League - they are infuriating And also agree, drop a player or two. A better product here will bring viewers back to SKY. Many of my mates no longer watch much Union it's gotten predictable - this attrition can't help SKY.
I hope SKY didn't bid for the UFC. Give us French rugby domestic tournament - now that's a fine version of the game.
Well I certainly could not bear to watch any English Rugby.I have always thought English rugby is the most boring,however after Saturday night I think they have competition from South Africa.
I noted the English ref was very used to unnecessary stoppages,...Could not stop blowing his whistle for more tea breaks. Hopeless.
Yup- you're spot on. I coudda taken that bloody whistle and.......
Not something that interests me at all. Prefer to have a GIZMO attached to my TV to deliver the programs.
Like Apple TV etc.
Doesn't make sense to me. What am I missing ?

Could be a sizeable market for people who don’t want to muck around getting set top boxes.
Just buy the TV, plug it in…log into your Sky account and start streaming.
People are prepared to pay big bucks for a nice TV too…
