Sky Brings Forward Launch Of New Set-Top Box To Counter BT Threat
- The Telegraph, Monday, February 2, 2015 8:49 AM
Sky is expected to bring forward the launch of its next generation set-top box to this spring to help counter the threat from BT’s exclusive deal to show European football. New hardware and services will be offered as an incentive for households to sign up to new pay-TV and broadband contracts before BT’s monopoly on Champions League matches kicks in next season, industry sources said. Sky is also likely to charge more for the premium service. The set-top box will be capable of showing ultra-high definition 4K pictures.
