I can not understand how Sky has not taken A bigger hit from Netflix and Amazon prime, almost like someone has made A mistake with the subscription numbers... Sky Q seems way off the mark with features like record four programs at once (: I can't remember the last time anything was recorded in my household. Catch up and on demand make recording completely redundant. I am still expecting to see A fall in the share price, things are only going to get more competitive for Sky plus add A bit of market turmoil and I think we will see quite big drop this year. Search "is Sky worth it"
I'm surprised people are still going on about Netflix and Amazon being a threat. I said the same thing in 2014, Sky is all about the Sports, that they still dominate. Wait until they get a proper hold in Europe, you won't see the SP this low again.
The future is streaming! Everyone who gets SKY for sports already has it. New subscribers are non sports after rich media content at the best price. So Amazon and Netflix are viable alternatives. Add to that everybody who has SKY resents its pricing and are actively looking for alternatives. And this includes free internet content. Plus BT is on the warpath with its combined sports and media. I can see SKY dropping quite a lot as people pull the plug. And if I am right they gave nothing to fall back on or any physical collateral like property or technology? As I started, streaming is the future where SKY has to rely on others foe access. Satellite dishes are a think of the past!
Sorry for grammar. Damn autocorrect got some of my worms wrong😊
The NOW box has been a revelation. I've never had Sky in my life but got a NOW box, no dish here. Pay for the games you want, it's brilliant. When the same happens in Europe, with German and Italian football, Sky will just go from strength to strength.
Sorry meant to add, the recently posted 12% increase in profits just shows that Netflix and Amazon, who aren't new kids on the block, aren't making too many waves.
