Foxtel "airing" house of dragon in 4k on their IQ4 and IQ5 boxes

https://www.mediaweek.com.au/house-of-the-dragon-to-exclusively-premiere-on-foxtel-in-4k-ultra-hd/

I suspect that the mid 2022 lunched date of the new Sky Box was to co inside with the release of house of dragon and allow enough time for the VTV change over.

In danger of missing both deadlines.

Maybe 2Degrees will follow Telstra and take a stake in a TV business or merge with them after all.

That's the only way to save Sky Broadband! Essentially just turn Sky Broadband into 2Degrees or merge 2Degrees into Sky.

The $150m of cash that Sky has might just go straight into the owners of 2Degrees. With a massive placement / IPO.

Mysterion

It's possible that 2Degrees could sell off their mobile towers to a Canadian pension fund as well and unlock a huge amount of equity.

Not sure how many sites 2Degrees have or how much it would be worth but looking at the link below it seems like they 2178 access points??? Can anyone confirm this?

The 2Degrees TV ads said they spend $1B on infrastructure.

If they can sell that off then maybe Sky can merge with Vocus and the slimmed down 2Degrees.

Seems like a logical move.

Thoughts MT?



Mysterion

Maybe Vocus can sell all their assets to another Canadian pension fund.

Then Sky could maybe afford to buy the retail arm of both 2degrees and Vocus.



Seriously tho, seems like a good idea??

Sky saved by a bunch of old people in Canada

Win for Sky

Likely Spark just gave up rather than Sky over bidding.

Must be the end of Spark Sport now. Likely be closing down or sold off to Discovery.

Plata

If that is the case it makes getting the customer service problem solved an absolute priority. All very well and good paying whatever ransom to secure the rights but people need to be able to call up and purchase it!

Mysterion

I see no reason why Sky should not be allowed to buy Spark Sport.

The commerce commission is a joke!

Customers ended up paying more with Spark Sport in the picture

Sky as a monopoly much cheaper for consumer.

Rugby World Cup in 4k on the new Sky Box would be nice.

A far more realistic timeframe. Surely they can't miss that deadline.

Assuming NEP have the cameras, right???

Well, not like the AB's have any chance of wionning the World Cup.

Given the draw, lucky to get past the quarters....

And SKY subscribers leaving droves

Should beat Uruguay and Namibia but France and Italy could see us on an early plane home

I won't be surprised if satellite sub losses accelerate but I don't see how they can plunge too badly without making sky miss guidance, maybe if the plunge began in the last month or two. But even if they were declining rapidly, would that not be considered a material event that warrants an announcement?
