Sky Stream video appears slightly blue

When I watch Sky Stream the streaming video picture appears slightly blue, what is or could be the techncal reasoning that Sky choose this slight blue colour bias and could it ever change? When I used Now TV the video appeared to be slightly green instead.

Different video colour tints to suit mood Sky Stream

So based on what I notice Sky Stream video is slightly blue in colour. Would it be cool if you could change the colour tint to green, red, orange, purple or just adjust it to the hue you like in the settings, 😆 Or just change the OS visual theme to custom ones?

It's not really a choice made by Sky. Video processing chips inside both your puck and your TV can interpret digital data slightly differently.

The NOW TV app will also be reliant on whatever streaming device or smart TV is decoding the digital video information it receives.

This is why most decent smart TVs have different picture settings available for each HDMI input, so if one device produces a slightly different colour balance than another, you can tweak accordingly.
