Sky Stream offering great value at the moment for new customers. Current deals include;
Sky Stream Ultimate and Cinema £27 a month (18 month contract) so effectively getting cinema for £1 a month includes Paramount Plus
Sky stream Uktimate and Sky Sports £39 a month (18 month contract) so effectively you get Sky sports for £13 a month. You can also add sky cinema for £8. So that's sky ultimate, sports and cinema for £47 a month.
UHD is reduced to £4 a month on both packages.
Sky kids is £4 a month
Whole home is reduced to £10
These prices are are now getting closer and closer to Now Tv, especially if you take Sports.

Still the frankly ridiculous insistence on only one Stream account at an address though, which is looking increasingly out of step with a generation doomed to perpetual shared rental.

@TimmyBGood @Skys biggest challenge is illegal IPTV in my opinion.

I suspect companies that even Comcast can't compete with financially potentially taking sports rights (like Apple sniffing around F1 with a reported MLS style global deal), is a greater threat than pirates.
As I have said before, this is why winning the aggregation battle is so important. If you don't own the rights to content, the next best thing is owning the most popular platform for delivering all of the content.

There will be a limited amount of sports that sell rights globally, fairly small I suspect. I can never see the EPL being sold on a global basis. Aggregation is great but Sky need to ensure the aggregation is smooth. Not sure the 3rd party apps provide this at the moment
