Netflix has helped to change the face of content and shows by releasing shows entire seasons at a time, which the Sky+ streaming box service is taking into account. Allowing users to download an entire series at once, the Sky+ service also features the ability to watch the next episode without exiting the portal.
Many consumers stream content in a manner that can only be described as bingeing; watching episode after episode for hours on end. As such, brands and service providers are looking for ways to implement this capability while still maintaining a balance to keep viewers coming back.
The Sky+ streaming box content service will be updated in the UK over the next short while.
