So I was looking at Sky's offers for TV and broadband and it's clear to me that they are now only pushing their Sky Stream and Sky Glass products. It's even hard to find the good old Sky Q offering. I know there are a lot of cord cutters which are either happy with no TV or the Sky Stream product. But the big money driver for Sky has always been Sky Sports and Sky Sports over IP is not as compelling as it is when comes live (either via SatTV or cable TV). I still remember watching England in the last world cup in the BBC iPlayer App to get the UHD stream and hearing my neighbours shout England's goals before they happened. At the moment the delay is about 30secs which is a lot. May be in the future they can come up with newer technologies which allow them to reduce this. We certainly all are able to do live video conferences without such delay but obviously distributing 4K content from one point to millions of other points is not as easy as it seems.
So what do people think it's going to happen with Sky's Sat TV business? Clearly it's slowly dying as more people cut the cord or move to IPTV solutions. So will the hold outs that want live sports keep it going or will they give up? What do you think?
