Sky describes the new over the top (OTT) service as being aimed at the 13 million UK households who don't currently subscribe to pay TV, with access available via "PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone, games console or connected TV." Initially, it will offer <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/skymovies">Sky Movies</a> on demand joined by sports and entertainment options later, with access based on either monthly unlimited subscription or "pay-as-you-go" pricing. As far as the company's basic services, it will continue to develop its existing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/skygo">Sky Go</a> product for standard pay-TV subscribers and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/sky-to-introduce-augmented-tv-viewing-with-zeebox-companion-ap/">zeebox iPad companion app</a>, although this seems to initially be a worth competitor for things like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/lovefilm">Lovefilm</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/netflix-officially-announces-uk-ireland-launch/">recent UK entrant Netflix</a>. We have plenty of questions about what it will offer cord-cutters and cord-nevers in the UK when it launches in the first half of this year, we should find out more on the earnings call shortly. Until then, hit the PDF link for more detailed financial breakdowns, or check out the IPTV service press release after the break.<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: Still waiting for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/03/sky-mobile-apps-on-the-way-include-movies-channel-companion-for/">Sky Go on Android</a>? The company mentioned during its presentation that the app will finally arrive on Google's platform in February, starting with Samsung Galaxy and HTC handsets. It will also have new channels, including Sky 1, Sky Living and Sky Arts, plus, of course, the new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/28/sky-sports-dedicated-f1-hd-channel-coming-next-season/">Sky Sports F1 HD</a> channel. The company is also expanding its broadband reach, with plans to cover a million more homes by June 2013, and add a Sky Broadband Unlimited Fibre option. For 20 a month, it offers 40 megabit download speed with no usage caps based on BT Fibre.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/31/sky-will-launch-an-internet-based-tv-service-in-the-uk-in-the-fi/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sky will launch an internet based TV service in the UK in the first half of 2012</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/31/sky-will-launch-an-internet-based-tv-service-in-the-uk-in-the-fi/">Sky will launch an internet based TV service in the UK in the first half of 2012</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:05:00 EDT.

A good week so far for British <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/netflix-officially-announces-uk-ireland-launch/">TV fans</a>, especially those who want a little more <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/16/ins-and-outs-whatever-happened-to-itv/">interactivity</a> than simply mashing a red button. The UK's satellite behemoth has announced a partnership with zeebox to create a companion app for its scheduling. Once released, you'll be able to connect with fans of the same shows, digest more program information and even purchase on-screen products. You might be doing all of these things with a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ces,laptop">laptop</a> or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ces,tablet">tablet</a> already, of course, but at least now you can spare your non-interested friends all those continued <em>America's next top model</em> tweets. If this sounds a bit like Facebook, Twitter and Amazon functionality bundled into an app, you might be right. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/sky/">Sky</a>, however, clearly hopes this dedicated approach will give its programming that extra edge once the iPad / iPhone app pops up some time before the end of Q2. Viewers without iDevices will be able to access the goodies via more vanilla online methods. Hit the PR over the jump for more info.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/sky-to-introduce-augmented-tv-viewing-with-zeebox-companion-ap/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sky to introduce 'augmented' TV viewing with zeebox companion app</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/sky-to-introduce-augmented-tv-viewing-with-zeebox-companion-ap/">Sky to introduce 'augmented' TV viewing with zeebox companion app</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 10 Jan 2012 07:42:00 EDT.

Back in June,the UK's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SkyTV/">Sky TV</a> said we would see an Android version of its mobile viewing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/sky-go-consolidates-live-tv-streaming-on-uk-pcs-and-ios-devices/">Sky Go</a> app, and while it may not have arrived in time to fall back (in Europe, don't ask us to explain DST around the world, it makes our heads hurt) the company says it's still on track. Telling <i>Tech-Radar</i> the app is still due "in the coming months", Sky has already indicated in a recent earnings report that it has more than 1.6 million viewers of its aggregated mobile VOD on iOS. Speaking of, iOS users will be getting a new app designed to work alongside the Sky Movies channel. It can show what movies are on the channel at the moment, schedule recordings, display info on movies in theaters, and even launch streaming flicks in the Sky Go app when it hits iTunes next week.

Back in June,the UK's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SkyTV/">Sky TV</a> said we would see an Android version of its mobile viewing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/sky-go-consolidates-live-tv-streaming-on-uk-pcs-and-ios-devices/">Sky Go</a> app, and while it may not have arrived in time to fall back (in Europe, don't ask us to explain DST around the world, it makes our heads hurt) the company says it's still on track. Telling <i>Tech-Radar</i> the app is still due "in the coming months", Sky has already indicated in a recent earnings report that it has more than 1.6 million viewers of its aggregated mobile VOD on iOS. Speaking of, iOS users will be getting a new app designed to work alongside the Sky Movies channel. It can show what movies are on the channel at the moment, schedule recordings, display info on movies in theaters, and even launch streaming flicks in the Sky Go app when it hits iTunes next week. The screenshot above gives a hint of what it will look like and expect more like it -- the company plans more individualized companion apps that work together, as opposed to the all-in-one approach of a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/directv,ipad">DirecTV</a> or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/tivo,ipad">TiVo</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/03/sky-mobile-apps-on-the-way-include-movies-channel-companion-for/">Sky mobile apps on the way include Movies channel companion for iOS, Go for Android</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:19:00 EDT.

	Charleston, South Carolina might be famous for the eponymous knee / hand dance, but this week sees it become the second location in the US to get <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/comcast">Comcast's</a> MyTV Choice. Rather than buying all the channels, or paying &#225; la carte for just the ones you watch, you pick a platform and then bolt on a package of channels, grouped by theme -- you get "Entertainment &#38; Lifestyle," "Movies," "Kids" or "News &#38; Info." These smaller, cheaper bundles are in response to being forced to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/29/some-cable-companies-are-pushing-for-unbundled-channels-but-n/">carry channels owned by the same group</a>, if you're paying for MTV, you're also paying for TV Land, for example. Still, those in the city (when not dancing their knee joints away) should be interested to know that the Get Started platform costs $25, Get Started Plus $45 and each additional package is $10.</div>

Over in the UK, Sky TV is streamlining its efforts to serve up TV channels away from the TV by launching the new Sky Go service July 6th. It combines and replaces the existing online <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/skyplayer">Sky Player</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/skymobiletv/">Sky Mobile TV</a> services into one offering that's free for subscribers, and in August will open up to those who don't have Sky TV service for between &#163;15-&#163;40 per month. The new package also means changes for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/sky-player-on-xbox-360-receives-first-eyes-on-analysis/">Sky Player on the Xbox 360</a> (which has <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/06/microsoft-unveils-live-tv-streaming-for-xbox-360-from-sky-tv-fo/">its own changes</a> in store) and Fetch TV, which will now just be "Sky" and will no longer count as one of the two allowed Sky Go device activations. Check the link below for the full list of channels which includes all the Sky Sports feeds, MTV, Disney and even ESPN without requiring the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/watchespn">WatchESPN</a> app we have in the US. There are a few drawbacks however, as it drops support for Windows Media Center and so far only iOS devices (running version 4.0 or higher - no first gen iPod Touches allowed) are on the approved list, but the official FAQ mentions an Android version on the way this year.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/sky-go-consolidates-live-tv-streaming-on-uk-pcs-and-ios-devices/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sky Go consolidates live TV streaming on UK PCs and iOS devices next month</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/sky-go-consolidates-live-tv-streaming-on-uk-pcs-and-ios-devices/">Sky Go consolidates live TV streaming on UK PCs and iOS devices next month</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 13 Jun 2011 06:11:00 EDT.

Microsoft confirmed the recent rumors and announced a new streaming TV implementation for the Xbox 360 today at its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/06/live-from-microsofts-e3-2011-keynote/">pre-E3 2011 keynote</a>. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/06/xbox-com-leaks-e3-secrets-early-voice-search-and-a-new-look-f/">Kinect and Bing-powered voice search</a> that can pull in content from online sources like Hulu, Netflix and Xbox Live Marketplace, will also work with live TV from IPTV partners. So far that list only includes <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/xbox,sky">Sky</a> in the UK, Foxtel in Australia and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/29/canal-live-and-on-demand-tv-comes-to-french-xbox-360s/">Canal+</a> in France, but users there will be able to search across all the services and view them directly through the console itself. There's no word on any US-based partners but if we had to guess AT&#38;T's U-verse will probably be first in line <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/atandt-brings-u-verse-to-windows-phone-7-xbox-360/">again</a>. One thing you will be able to watch in the US -- PPV UFC fights, streamed directly to the Xbox 360.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update</strong>: The official press release is out (and included after the break) where Microsoft mentions its "commitment to expand access to live television programming on Xbox 360 to more providers in the United States and around the world during the upcoming year". While U-verse's Mediaroom underpinnings certainly put it in the lead, we can see others like FiOS or Comcast potentially <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/17/foxs-latest-anti-allvid-fcc-filing-suggests-new-pay-tv-service/">swooping in</a> as well. Finally, would it be too much to ask for some of this universal search magic to extend to the Media Center extender software as well?<br />

Three continents, three more milestone announcements for 3D. First up is <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/sky/">Sky TV</a>, which, with or without 15,000 or so flat screens from LG, is officially launching its Sky 3D channel around the Man. U/Chelsea game on April 3. Already have a 3DTV and Sky's "top channels and HD pack?" Call the company with details for activation, while everyone else checks to see if their local pub is among the thousand plus already signed up to receive the <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2009/11/30/sky-planning-3d-soccer-broadcasts-for-2010/">six live 3D matches slated for this season</a> (plus the Coca Cola league playoff finals) and demo reel for all non-footy hours of the day. Bringing the focus back home, <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/tag/espn3d/">ESPN 3D</a> has scheduled the first event it will produce and air itself, the MLB Home Run Derby on July 12, a day after <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/espn-3d-launches-in-june-with-world-cup-soccer-our-football-t/">launching with the SA/Mexico World Cup game</a>. Other events officially on deck (the plan for the first year is still about 85) include several college basketball tournaments and the ACC Championship football game in December. Last but not least is Japan, already home to at least one 3D network, which will soon have access to even more over the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/10/japanese-companies-ally-to-create-actvila-com/">cross-manufacturer</a> <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/tag/actvila/">AcTVila</a> video on-demand service.

<div style="text-align: left;">Why is this man so down? Is it the crooked hat? Or the long hours spent with the same flat expression on his face? No, the fact of the matter is that Sky's plan to outfit pubs the breadth and width of the island nation with 3D televisions has fallen flat. Yesterday LG announced that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/sky-tv-buys-15-000-3dtvs-from-lg-for-live-sports-broadcasts-in-p/">the satellite provider had purchased some 15,000 sets</a> with the hope of hooking folks on the technology before launching its in-home service later in the year, but now the company's pulling back, instead saying that deal involves the channel selling pubs 3DTVs through a third party.

<div style="text-align: left;">Why is this man so down? Is it the crooked hat? Or the long hours spent with the same flat expression on his face? No, the fact of the matter is that Sky's plan to outfit pubs the breadth and width of the island nation with 3D televisions has fallen flat. Yesterday LG announced that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/sky-tv-buys-15-000-3dtvs-from-lg-for-live-sports-broadcasts-in-p/">the satellite provider had purchased some 15,000 sets</a> with the hope of hooking folks on the technology before launching its in-home service later in the year, but now the company's pulling back, instead saying that deal involves the channel selling pubs 3DTVs through a third party. And we're sure that pub owners are going to jump at the chance to buy expensive new displays and scores of 3D glasses so customers can drop them in pitchers and / or break them while playing darts or whatever goes on over there in the land of Pete Doherty and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/surveillance,uk">excessive surveillance</a>.

LG is today proudly boasting that it has sealed the biggest sale of 3D television sets so far, thanks to its partnership with UK broadcaster <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/skytv">BSkyB</a>. Following a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/inaugural-sky-3dtv-soccer-broadcast-received-warmly-hooligans-o/">surprisingly successful</a> trial run of broadcasting the Arsenal versus Man United match in 3D <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/3d-tv-coming-to-british-pubs-this-weekend-can-expect-chilly-rec/">this January</a>, Sky clearly sees its future through polarizing glasses and has ordered up the big batch of tubes so that it can provide weekly 3D broadcasts of Premier League games. The plan is for a rapid rollout this spring -- which is right about now -- meaning that your local pub should be getting all glitzed up just in time for the end of season excitement. It remains to be seen whether Brits will swarm to the new tech or lose interest once the novelty wears off, but judging from the size of this investment, it would seem the bigwigs in charge of our entertainment are already convinced that 3D will be a win.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/sky-tv-buys-15-000-3dtvs-from-lg-for-live-sports-broadcasts-in-p/">Sky TV buys 15,000 3DTVs from LG for live sports broadcasts in public venues</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:24:00 EST.

While U.S. audiences suffered through yet another anaglyph 3D broadcast as the Grammys presented Earth Song in traditional red/blue format courtesy of Target-distributed glasses, Sky kicked off its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/3d-tv-coming-to-british-pubs-this-weekend-can-expect-chilly-rec/">first true 3DTV broadcast</a> across the pond during a Man. U/Arsenal match. Distributed to a few select pubs ahead of a <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2009/11/30/sky-planning-3d-soccer-broadcasts-for-2010/">wide rollout</a> due in April, patrons slipped on passive <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2010/01/21/3d-stole-the-show-at-ces-2010/">3D</a> glasses and caught the entire match live from Emirates stadium. Luckily this experiment went over far better than the Dallas Cowboys <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/cowboys-stadium-3d-scoreboard-experiment-doesnt-go-so-well-tur/">disaster</a>, though several criticized the need to remain more directly in front of the monitor to see the action and that the effect was less pronounced on long shots. However the new tech excelled the most during close ups and slow motion, as <i>Pocket-Lint</i> quoted viewer Kate Cobley "It's brilliant, the corner and back of the goal views are just amazing. It makes the game so much better. If it's in 3D then I would definitely be more likely to come to the pub to watch sport." We figure the real test will come during the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/sony-and-fifa-team-up-to-make-the-world-cup-3d/">World Cup</a> this summer, if <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/espn-3d-launches-in-june-with-world-cup-soccer-our-football-t/">ESPN's 3DTV broadcast</a> can get U.S. audiences tuning into the beautiful game then <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2010/01/21/3d-stole-the-show-at-ces-2010/">3D may actually live up to all the CES hype</a>.
