Skys disdain for its own customers - FROM

[seandrews]

FROM is back on in the USA on MGM+

It is not currently available on in the UK

Obviously this means that Sky will delay it & their customers will have to wait. 

the pirates will have this out and online available immediately for all whilst the rights holders will just sit on it without putting it on.

Why do Sky do this to their customers?

The UK and USA release times for programmes has histoically not been connected, I cannot see what your problem is, the same works the other way round the USA get our programmes later than us

@seandrews The release date of this show has zero to do with Sky, it's hard to see why you think they are at fault, surely you should be asking the shows distributors/content owner (not Sky) why they have chosen to have a staggered release.

If you can't wait until the 26th July then that's your issue, your not entitled to access instantly no matter how much you think you are.

It will be likely be released at end of June or early as full boxset release

[Plektrum]

Or dare I say waiting until they can put up the entire season as a box set is Sky actually responding to the needs of their customers? 

Not hard to imagine they have swathes of viewing data to determine whether weekly or box set releases are the best approach for a particular title.

This happens to a lot of content from the USA. If we take the Simpsons as an example, it's usually a few months after it airs in the USA for it to air over here. The Simpsons even made a joke about it on one of their Halloween episodes ending with a humming version of a Christmas song as outside the USA it would be shown around Christmas. 

This is just how it's done. It also works the other way around where European programmes are delayed in the USA.

Of course, there are exceptions, with the likes of HBO/Sky's show Chernobyl, but this was aired at similar times in the USA and UK/Ireland as HBO and Sky had an agreement.

@seandrews oh look the old "sheep" insult because we don't agree with your point of view/level of self entitlement....how original....

You seem to have a real problem with the way Sky do business, which begs the question of why are you a customer?
