Sky has announced that Sky Go and
Now TV will be available through the PlayStation, after sealing an agreement
with Sony.
The streaming services - Sky Go for
existing subscribers and Now TV representing pay to play - will be available
this year on the next-gen Sony PS4 console and its predecessor the PS3 .
Now TV will be the first to land
with Sky announcing a fairly non-specific arrival date of 'the summer' which is
at least more solid than Sky Go.
Significant
The deal is a significant one for
both players - Sony will be mindful of the noises that rival Microsoft is
making over its Xbox television service, whilst Sky's move to broaden out to
offer content to people who do not necessarily want monthly subscriptions
and/or satellite dishes has been ongoing with Now TV.
The Sky Go app will be welcomed by
many households - essentially providing a second sky box that is not tied to a
satellite feed.
We look forward to seeing the
service when it arrives at some time soon-ish.
