Sky discontinues satellite TV with end of Sky Q

The era of satellite television is drawing to a close as Sky announces the end of its Sky Q service. The company is shifting focus to Sky Stream as the future of its offerings. This transition highlights evolving preferences in TV delivery methods.

Sky, a major provider in the UK and Ireland, has declared the age of satellite TV over. The Sky Q platform, which relied on satellite technology, is being phased out entirely. In its place, Sky is promoting Sky Stream, an internet-based streaming service designed for modern viewing habits.

The announcement underscores a broader industry shift away from traditional satellite dishes toward broadband-connected devices. While specific timelines for the Sky Q discontinuation were not detailed, the move signals confidence in streaming's reliability and convenience. Sky's decision comes amid growing adoption of on-demand content and flexible viewing options.

No reasons beyond technological evolution were cited, but the change aims to simplify access for customers without the need for satellite installations. Sky Stream integrates live TV with streaming apps, offering a unified experience on compatible devices.
