In exchange for 30 cents a day, the first month is free, "the service includes the best payment channels, television series, and films on demand worldwide, mostly in HD quality," said Sky in a statement.
As its competitors, the British forget the contract and with a simple registration process will be able to access its catalog on Android devices, iOS, web and its small streaming device, Sky TV Box, whose price is 25 euros.
Sky is not available as an app for SmartTV or Chromecast, so far
"At Sky we have been offering the best entertainment and cutting-edge latest technology news to our customers for many years, making us Europe's largest streaming service platform. Our customers in Italy, the UK, Ireland, Germany, and Austria already enjoy of the freedom of streaming without a contract, and we are excited to bring our service to Spanish consumers, "says Andrew Griffith, COO Sky.
However, Sky lands in Spain months later of the arrival of Netflix and HBO, that along with the great operators like Movistar, Orange and Vodafone they distribute the cake of the monthly subscriptions of the pockets of the Spaniards.
With 10 euros, the British equal the offer of Netflix, although the Sky catalog puts the accent on live payment channels. At the moment, it will offer 12 channels of payment through its application and are the following: FOX, FOX Life, TNT, History, Syfy, Disney Junior, Nickelodeon, TCM, Comedy Central, Calle 13, Disney XD and National Geographic.
Unlike Netflix and HBO, the British offer 12 live payment channels
In addition to being able to see them live, the user can store the contents online for 30 days. The option, new to Netflix or HBO, but which already include platforms such as Movistar, allows access once they have passed 24 hours of their first broadcast, but the offline mode is not available.
The catalog is completed with more than 50 complete series including The Walking Dead, Heroes, The Tudor, Justified and others in incomplete version, since the rights in Spain are sold to other platforms, such as Gray's Anatomy.
"Through a simple and intuitive solution, with the latest live or on-demand shows, access to the latest series or enjoy hundreds of blockbusters, the new service has something for everyone", emphasizes David Nunez, director of Market Development in Spain.
Not for everyone
Sky to date will only come for iPhone, iPad and all devices equipped with the Android system, but will not do so on SmartTV or Chromecast systems.
Its bet is Sky TV Box where the app of the British television is installed next to Sky News, Youtube or Vevo among others. This small device connects to any television, regardless of whether it is SmartTV Tech News, and only needs an HDMI input.
Finally, Sky has also confirmed that its monthly service of 10 euros allows 3 screens at a time and in HD.
