I’m out of the office today but here’s your Tech fix for today though.
Today sees the launch of Sky Now TV – a new on-demand movie rental service to take on rivals Lovefilm and Netflix. Launching on PC, Mac, and some Android smartphones, Sky Now TV will offer access to 600 films and 11 channels, with more to come in future on a monthly subscription, or on pay and play basis. More details on the pricing and packages this way.
Sky TV has revealed plans to launch a new internet TV service letting even those who do not subscribe to any of Sky’s many packages watch shows at any time. Users will be able to watch the shows from any device from the computer to the smartphone.
In the continuing battle between LOVEFiLM and Netflix, LOVEFiLM, has announced that its film and TV subscription streaming is coming to LG Smart TVs.
Netflix and major Hollywood movie studio Lionsgate have sealed a deal to stream its movies exclusively to the service when it launches in the UK and Ireland next year. This means that upcoming movies such as The Expendables 2 will stream exclusively on Netflix, letting you watch the films on your Xbox 360, PS3 or Nintendo Wii.
