Sky is in a completely different situation to Spark. Not a reasonable comparison at all imo.

Totally agree with your sentiments. It is a combination of apathy and the Mrs just likes the remote that is so familiar. She would be frustrated with having to stream. My TV does offer streaming but I find it slower and the quality not as good as the SKY product so am willing to perservere for now. Till... they offer no sport when the whole lot goes out the window. So they would have to offer something good. We also have Netflix (via a vodafone offer) so not sure what SKY can do to come to the party except offer the movies. (Or a good discount on the sub)
If you have a decent internet connection, you would much prefer Sky Sport NOW. The UI is much better than MySky. If your TV isn't up to snuff on the streaming front you can get a Chromecast 4K and it will do the job nicely. If you want an even better user experience you could get an Apple TV 4K (that's what I use and I have never looked back). HD quality live broadcasts, and I have not had any issues.
Only downside compared to satellite is that there is an approx 30 second or so delay. So if your mates are watching a match on traditional satellite be careful not to get any spoilers.
Then you can decide if you want to take the entertainment offering for $13.95. I stream NEON - the app is a bit average to use, but it is still a bargain for the amount of content.
OK that's enough of my sales pitch! - I genuinely hope you decide to make the change at some point and save some money mate. It is important that you feel you are getting a fair deal for the content you consume is important. Otherwise, when issues like the coronavirus occur 'The HULK' comes out thrashing because I suspect there is an underlying feeling all along that you are getting ripped off!
Sky are asking the question to current subscribers with possibility of showing a movie channel for free now there is stuff all sports.
