The Sky Ticket gets an update that many users of the Sky Streaming service should be happy about. However, not everyone will benefit from it.
- Sky is reforming its ticket system.
- The "no subscription" offer receives a long-awaited update.
- But not all users will be able to benefit from it.
Munich - The pay TV market is also becoming increasingly competitive in Germany. The former top dog Sky must also adapt to this change. In order to keep up with the new competition, such as Netflix or DAZN, Sky also introduced a streaming service some time ago. With the Sky tickets, the Sky program can now be viewed without a lengthy subscription . Not only series fans are happy about this, but above all many sports fans who want to watch individual Champions League games that are only broadcast on Sky.
Sky gives ticket system an update - many users will be happy
Now the Sky Ticket gets a technical update that many users of the system will be happy about. So far, the Sky system has had a decisive disadvantage compared to the streaming competition: The Sky Ticket offer could only be viewed in simple HD quality .
This seems a bit dusty in times when Full HD is becoming more common and even 4K transmissions are becoming more common. That is now changing, as Caschy's blog reports. Accordingly, Sky now offers its customers full HD resolution in the ticket system for series and films.

- CaschysBlog (@CaschysBlog) March 10, 2020Sky has automatically set the resolution to Full HD for several types of reception. However, not all reception systems are affected. As a result, not all Sky Ticket users can currently look forward to the Full HD service.
Sky Ticket: Not all users can use the update
According to the report, only users of the following reception systems have been able to use the Full HD service:
- Sky Ticket TV Stick *
- XBox One
- Apple TV
- Chromecast
- Samsung Smart TV
However, it should not stop there. According to the report, the switchover should take place on all platforms in the coming months.
The decisive difference to the "normal" Sky offer is that there is no subscription requirement for Sky tickets. The offer can be canceled at any time. However, the ticket is also automatically renewed after one month, for example, in the case of a monthly series and film ticket. The system ultimately corresponds to that of the competition, for example Netflix.
