Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Looks like the multiroom streaming feature that's been banded about could arrive at some point. , I know the Beta EPG is to be rolled out pretty soon and hopefully there should be a few feature updates this year.

The trouble is with multiroom streaming is your wait could be as long as our wait so don't expect it soon MM.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

It will be amazing if multiroom streaming hits as soonas July; but I'm happy to wait as I didn't even know Sky were thinking about it.

So anytime this year is good for me.

Im sure we will have Multi Room Streaming up and running before VM. Vm are too far behind Sky. When VM think of an idea (TV wise) Sky are already 5 steps ahead. Also because Sky own most of the channels it becomes easier than VM

The master likes a devoted servant but he seems to have a dreamer on his hand here as well Mr Stokes.

Compared to the way you serve your master preaching the word of Virginmedia all over this place anyone else pales in comparison. I'm sure your master sleeps well knowingyou are here spreading his word and dark arts.

l praise and criticise in equal measure but its a pity that some others don't adopt the same type of thinking.

The thing is Denphone an I mean this in a genuine none "fanboy" way.

As a CUSTOMER of Sky there really is not a lot to criticise them for. They have the best content, the most HD, great exclusives. I would be the first as I'm sure so would many others to let the world know when Sky is failing.

But Sky works, Sky deliver, it is just a TV/BB/Phone provider and in the respect there is not much to complain about. As Sky customer we are not going to complain about Sky having exclusive rights as we get the content. So what do you think we should be complaining about Denphone?

Well its not up to me to tell you but there are many areas where Sky overall has a inferior service but the areas in which they are stronger in have more to do with monopolistic tendacies and a uncompetitive attitude in with-holding channels and content from other providers and in that the UK pay-TV industry is still unfairly balanced in Sky’s favour.

And Virgin does exactly the same with their broadband network

Yet I never hear you say anything about that.

Hmmmmm
