Re: General Sky TV Discussion
To be honest Andrew I'm still not convinced either way , something is on the horizon that's for sure however it may not arrive in the next few weeks. Sky always remain tight lipped about these launches.

Agreed, I think a 4K box will be launched later in the year. But not in the main holiday season. This "leak" won't do Sky any harm though.

I'm not a massive linear watcher however it works pretty well on the occasions I've used it.

It wasn't that long back people said Sky didn't need Sky Sports 5
It currently has live sport on nearly every channel with red button active on three channels.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Wikipedia says that Pop Girl will cease broadcasting in the early hours of October 1st 2015. Owners Sony will reuse it slot on Sky for Kix+1.

Yes but look just how often they duplicate the live action on sky sports 1. Middlesbrough v Leeds match on Sunday for example.

Breaking News : Live Sport generally isn't on 24/7 every day hence plenty of schedule filling.
The channels are needed for when numerous live events all occur at a similar time , why would anyone be bothered about it I'd much prefer to see Sport in HD as opposed to behind the red button in SD.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
The point I was trying to make is they duplicate programs often which seems stupid to me. As for people prefering to watch in HD rather than SD behind the red button I agree with but as I refuse to pay the 7 quid extra for HD sky sports it doesn`t effect me.

Every pay tv channel duplicates content numerous times so Sky Sports is no different in this matter , take a look at the BT Sports channels.
Thankfully I watch very little in SD these days , Sport in HD is essential on a decent size screen for me.

Can`t say I`ve ever seen the same program on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport2 on at the same time,or for that matter the same program on BBC 1 nd 2,ITV 1 and 2 or Sky 1 and 2? I think the point people are trying to make is Sky Sports 5 is no lnger needed now Sky don`t have the championd league.
