Sky used to have a web client. Now you have to use their apps, even on the desktop, which come with a suite of monitoring services (Cisco Videoguard) to prevent people from streaming their content. On my Mac Mini the video player takes up easily 80-100% of the 6-core/12-threads i7.

It's almost unwatchable. Unfortuantely it's a requirement if you're into german soccer.



Not really in the spin, but what about DAZN?


Love it. Great content, good streaming quality, fair price. Unfortuantely they lost the Premier League rights to Sky this season which is fine whenever I turn on my projector for the big picture - after all Sky's satellite video quality obviously is superior to a stream, but casual watching at the desk is rendered almost unbearable due to Sky's abysmal apps and streaming technology. In that regard DAZN is far superior.

Anyway, when it comes to content spanish La Liga as well as other top european soccer leagues make up for the loss of the Premier League. However as someone who enjoys watching soccer I still need both, DAZN and Sky, since there's hardly any overlap in their content and rights.
