The end of satellite TV and migration to broadband Internet for television services

We will see very soon if SES places or not orders for new satellites to replace the old ones at 28.5E . Before they do they will need a 15 years commitment by SKY to use them. I do not think SKY will do that as you said people now are opting for the streaming option.

It is almost certain Sky will not maintain a satellite option past 2028/9 - they have openly admitted pushing towards streaming.

Indeed, it was just announced more jobs are going as part of the push towards streaming.
