This site has a pic with a Sky badged box and remote and there appears to be a tag of some sort on the end of the remote that says 'Roku':

Sky have obviously listened and it's a good move, now if only they'd extend it to pubs and clubs where they're forced to take the whole shebang at +£700 a month.

I take it these boxes don't have access to the other Roku channels by sideloading? Or rooting even, it would make them a steal as the Roku 3 is £99.

How does that price compare with taking Sky Sports via VM? Doesn't the price for Sky sports vary depending whether you are on M, L or XL TV?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
It's business Den , Sky charges £25.50 for Sky Sports on the Satellite platform however you must have the Original bundle at a cost of £20 so the entry point is £45.50.
This now offers a cheaper entry point for those who just want freeview and sport , in fact even with the Entertainment pass its only £38.98.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
So I guess an option for sports fans who want to Cord Cut, is internet via BT, for BT sports and Now TV for Sky sports.
