@BenJoBanjo do you access to information not in the public domain? As far as it has been explained the migration is not from the UK to an existing US platform but rather the development of a new streaming platform to underpin future services which Stream already runs on and other services are migrating onto.

At Osterley Park many if the same team who developed Sky Q are actively now working on these developments. The platform is managed by Comcast as it will serve all markets worldwide..See https://corporate.comcast.com/global-technology-platform. for the usual corporate puff. The development of the Sky OS which underlies many of the new services is managed from Osterley Park.

NOW has been migrated onto the pre-existing US-designed Peacock platform. 

The NOW app in the UK is now identical to the Peacock app in the US, with the same issues which have plagued that app for years. It has degraded the NOW streaming service rather than improved it.

Also as I understand it, the Peacock platform was originally based on Now but development outpaced Now because Peacock had such a huge drive. This is really just bringing the codebase up to date with the newer platform, coming full circle.

I no longer use Now so I won't comment on the quality of it, I just thought that was an interesting thing to point out.

@BenJoBanjo  Which has nothing to do with the threads original question.

Sky Group currently isn't a big fan of that particular hardware...
