It's also not the BBC's and ITV's of this world who risk losing out - it's the smaller channels on Freeview, including UKTV and the Discovery suite, who would really lose out if we went down an approach where you needed a smart TV app for each company you wish to view. Maybe I'm seeing things I want to see but I think there are already signs that Discovery may be back peddling slightly on putting all their eggs in the Discovery+ basket.
I know two people with Sky Glass and neither thinks it’s better than what they used to have.
I have Sky Stream and think it’s great. A few niggles with some of the navigation but it’s easily the slickest integration of live and on demand I’ve used, bringing everything together in a single environment. They’ve maybe focussed too much towards on demand vs live but it works well overall.
