Sky Q my thoughts
Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2016 12:28 am
Sky are shortly to introduce a range of products so that it can compete with the ever growing integrated home entertainment environment. With reported far better products that use the latest standards for wifi, 1080p HD and later this year UHD (it only has a HDMI 1.4b and HDCP 1.2 spec port?). In its top of the line range of broadcasting TV satellite delivery system, but is it too far behind the times?
Most have invested in Apple and Amazon with higher standards from other suppliers. Especially competing against the likes of Apple Inc., with its current working integrated environment for music, TV programme and film environment on the new Apple TV 4th generation. With an already working Siri voice command system for searching out content from music to films available on its platforms, from iPads, Apple TVs to Apple smartphones and Apple routers that are 802.11ac wifi complaint. And with Apple Airport Expresses with the ability to optically connect to music systems throughout our premises using Apple AirPlay.
If Sky are attempting to enter those with larger homes and greater budgets. Then they're moving into an area were the richer section of our society demand an environment less likely to invest in an environment heavily into marketing by using advertisements to subsidise the cost of delivering TV programming.
The likes of other streaming providers have not taken this route. Rather taking the path of little or very little advertising on their platforms but pure music and TV programme content viewing and listening with appropriate music videos. Look at Apple Music on the new Apple TV to see their direction in the music video viewing environment. Pull is the environment that I believe most will choose for their high end viewing and listening pleasure were the content is in the cloud, we as a society don't wish to watch endless advertisement on high end platforms and those agreeing with my thoughts will pick or have already picked the Apple Inc., integrated environment already available in this respect.
Saying all that I welcome the competition from Sky and look forward to seeing really what this Sky Q environment will be all about in reality, and I hope Sky's new equipment is as good as their marketing...., and I hope they'll be able to compete against a worldwide company as large as Apple!
