how to watch SkyArts from outside the UK

[rick-c142]

hello 

i live in the USA and have found some amazing programs on SkyArts... some that pretty much made getting thru the pandemic and our current political landscape possible. (seriously- there is a daily desire to throw a brick at the tv if the news is on)

i would be happy to subscribe or pay additionally on Prime or HBO or whatever! i just can not take the poor quality of uploaded youtube videos! i applaud the producers and crew behind some really great show! let me show my support with cold hard $$$! 
unleash skyArts in the US!!!! we have an election coming up and the inmates could very well be running the asylum!!! gah!!!!

if anything... thanks for letting me vent!

There is no mechanism for subscribing to Sky outside the European countries in which they operate.  Fo Sky content to be carried by another service, that service would need to seek distribution licences.

yeah... a huge bummer in my opinion-

we have created a world wide connection where anybody anywhere can create, post, and view content from anywhere else... (well just about everywhere else) and yeah... there is a LOT of unwatchable stuff-

but come on!! its 2023! not the dark ages! you would think some cfo at sky would see this and think "hey... we can make more $! or £! let em sign up!!"

again... just venting here- its mid-term elections. (removed) in red hats and all

(sigh...)

We are in the dark ages in the UK. It's still 2022 here 😀

@rick-c142 it's probably more to do with rights issues than technical feasibility.

Good luck with the mid-terms. I'm sure it will in part be inflicted on us in the UK too, at some point...

2023? dangitman! this is what happens on a rant...

but then again maybe things will be better in 2023?

Unfortunetly, Sky Arts is only available in UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria and Italy with the German/Austrian one an on-demand service only and the Italian one called Sky Arte.
