sky (company)

Sky UK Limited (formerly British Sky Broadcasting and BSkyB) is a telecommunications company which serves the United Kingdom. Sky provides television and broadband internet services and fixed line telephone services to consumers and businesses in the United Kingdom. It is the UK's largest pay-TV broadcaster with 11 million customers as of 2015. It was the UK's most popular digital TV service until it was overtaken by Freeview in April 2007. Its corporate headquarters are based in Isleworth.
Formed in November 1990 by the equal merger of Sky Television and British Satellite Broadcasting, BSkyB became the UK's largest digital subscription television company. Following BSkyB's 2014 acquisition of Sky Italia and a majority 90.04% interest in Sky Deutschland in November 2014, its holding company British Sky Broadcasting Group plc changed its name to Sky plc. The United Kingdom operations also changed the company name from British Sky Broadcasting Limited to Sky UK Limited, still trading as Sky.
Sky UK Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sky plc, with its current company directors being Andrew Griffith and Christopher Taylor. Griffith acts as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Managing Director for the commercial businesses division.

    Sky not asking for Q mini box back

    I've received my returns box and the list of requested equipment this morning. Sky have asked for the main Q box and one mini box but I have two (I paid for a second one a couple of years after getting the original Q equipment). I'm right in saying that the box is useless without the main Q box...

    Sky Q - After Cancellation...

    I've just cancelled Sky Q as I'm sick of their creeping prices (we barely use it anyway, so don't need much). I know I'm expected to return the kit. Firstly, what's the penalty for not returning the box? If I return their box, but obtain myself a Sky Q box, what will I be able to watch on it...

    Reflections on leaving Sky for BT

    Due to Sky's ever increasing prices, I see a lot of people saying they are going to ditch Sky Q. I did this and got BTTV's Entertainment package (essentially a NOW subscription, Netflix + a 1TB box) for £10/month. We also pay £6 for HD. I have since added BT Sport for 1 month for a one-off cost...

    Thinking of getting sky glass, few questions

    Considering the 43 or 55". Few things I can't find the answers to on Google. 1. Does it output 4k/atmos through apps like disney+ , netflix, apple, and amazon? 2. Can you cast to it yet? I cast over wifi from my phone (not mirroring or Bluetooth) 3. Read some recent reviews saying the set has...

    Sky+HD box stuck orange/ green, no output

    I've got a 2TB Sky+HD box that I want to rip some old recordings off of. I know it's not the done thing but Sky has never repeated them and you can't buy them anywhere. I connected the box to the computer the other day and all was good- the planner came up telling me there was no satellite...

    Replacing the wide-band receiver with a hybrid LNB on my Sky dish

    Can anyone direct me to a guide on how to remove the wide-band receiver and fit a new hybrid LNB on my Sky dish so I don't end up moving the dish accidentally whilst doing it? It is so much easier to do when clear about how it should be done correctly. I have seen a YouTube video showing a pin...

    Is Ad Skipping worth having?

    I got Sky Stream last week and decided to take the Ad Skipping pack for £5 but just wondering if it is actually worth having. As I understand it you can still pause live tv and FF up to the point of the live broadcast without Ad Skipping. How about Sky on demand shows and shows on playlist. Can...

    TV Essentials

    I posted this on How to get a good deal but may be more relevant on its own thread. I've had TV Essentials for 3 months and in that time have only received an email offer for 4 months of free Sky Cinema, which is irrelevant in my case as it requires a Signature subscription. Has anyone with...

    Sky+ app to no longer be supported from May 31 2023

    I still have the Sky+ HD box as refuse to go to Sky Q as you only rent the box from this, find this app very useful as can set recordings away from home and it's also just a good general TV guide to check what's on, what are you supposed to use in its place? The Sky Go app?

    Post SkyQ Installation. Bit confused :)

    Well, the engineer came and installed our SkyQ box yesterday. It all seems okay but I'm a bit confused by the whole remote, interface etc. I'm old... :) I presume I'm getting UHD (it 'looks' like we are). The box is version 32B212 and we are on the UHD trial but he did say if we aren't on Sky...

    Selling sky q boxes on eBay

    Hi just wanted to ask a question, why are people selling their sky q boxes on eBay when they know it’s a loaned item. Surely the buyers are getting duped into buying stolen items? Has anyone ever bought these items from eBay? I don’t think people are going to answer the latter question.

    LG Oled with Sky Dish

    At the risk of this being the stupidest question ever asked I'm going to ask it anyway.
