iSKY Expands With More Live Channels

iSKY Expands With More Live Channels

More live channels are being added to SKY’s popular iSKY.co.nz service from today.
 
SKY Basic customers will now be able to access Animal Planet and National Geographic Channel live on iSKY for no extra charge, with more live streamed channels to be added in the coming months.
 
SKY CEO John Fellet says this expands iSKY’s offering to three live sports, two live news and two documentary channels, plus catch-up TV from another 30 channels and a rental store of thousands of new and classic movies and TV shows.
 
“iSKY has gone from strength to strength since we launched it in February 2011. It already offers a huge range of content online and we’re delighted to now add two of our most popular documentary channels to the mix.
 
Fellet says feedback about iSKY shows people love the chance to access their favourite sports and shows anywhere, anytime.
 
“During the Rugby World Cup, for example, iSKY viewing quadrupled and the launch of our SoHo channel has created massive demand.”
 
Three-quarters of the top 50 items viewed through iSKY in December were catch-up shows from SoHo, the most popular being Game Of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter and The Killing.
 
Over the summer, international test cricket and the ASB and Heineken tennis tournaments in Auckland also proved popular with iSKY viewers.
