Sky? Is that a UK channel/group of channels correct?

A few more deals like these.... Who knows!

It is BY FAR the largest TV package in the UK.  It has over 10m paid for TV subscriptions.

It also commands sports, it also has exclusive deals on movies (with sony for example....lol.. yes new Sony movies are a timed console exclusive in the UK (1 year) to the xbox 360 already!).

This would be HUGE for Germany as well.

Sky broadcasts the German Bundesliga exclusively (Every single game), The DFB Pokal (every single game, except the very lowclass ones in the first round), The UEFA Champions League (Every single game) and lots of other content. They just signed a deal for the next 3 years.

There are 3.5 million paying subscribers in Germany. PayTV still feels strange for the Germans though. We are cheap when it comes to entertainment, but it is growing pretty fast.

 

I am a Sky subscriber and I pray that it will be supported with the Xbox One. That would be awesome for me. And yes, I am hardcore gamer. SHOCKER!
