BSkyB is the main provider of satellite TV in the UK, with over 8 million subscribers on its Sky platform.

More details will be revealed in Leipzig, Germany on Wednesday 22nd August, at the annual Games Convention.

Sky won't be able to send this out to the US...the broadcast rights they have are for the UK and ROI only they might be able to push this to the EU but don't think it'll go any further than that, they'll have to do the same thing they did with Sky by Broadband (now Sky Anytime) and restrict it based on where your I.P. address is located...However you'll probably find that another company will pick it up in the US. Chances are it'll eventually go to PS3 as they have a PC based download service already (Sky Anytime).
