Until now, Sky and Amazon have not been a very good match. Anyone who has ever tried to access Sky’s streaming service with an Amazon Fire TV device knows why. It was only possible to stream via elaborate and semi-legal detours. But now the problem is to be solved. Selected devices are soon to receive a special Sky Ticket app.
Answer to the Amazon app on Sky devices?
Conversely, the cooperation has already been working since the end of last year. Thus, owners of a Sky Ticket or Sky Q device could download the streaming app “Prime Video” on their device as early as December 2020. Possibly, those responsible at Amazon now wanted to settle the debt on their part. Selected Fire TV devices now offer the appropriate app for Sky Ticket. While Amazon is thus bringing another competitor onto its own platform alongside Netflix and Disney+, users will be happy about a wide-ranging streaming offer.
So Sky Ticket scores namely not only with the latest movies and series. On top of that, you can now also stream sports in high quality. However, only selected devices will initially be able to enjoy the entertainment app. Amazon is talking about the 2nd and 3rd generation Fire TV sticks. In addition, the app will be available for the Fire TV Stick Lite and the Fire TV Stick 4K. However, owners of an older or other device do not have to despair. Thus, the app is also to be rolled out to other devices from Amazon in the course of the year.
Comprehensive streaming highlights
The range that Sky has on offer will please many users. The service scores with numerous highlights that make some of the competition look pale. This includes, not least, the long-awaited blockbuster “Wonder Woman 1984”. Apart from the offer for fans of movies and series, sports fans also get their money’s worth. Of course, you can also follow the latest Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League matches via the app. The prerequisite for this is the Sky Supersport Ticket. The upcoming app is already being advertised with its uncomplicated operation. It will also be possible to use Alexa within the app for Sky Ticket. Of course, this not only applies to opening the app, but also to searching for the right content.
It all starts with the download of the app. This is available immediately. Then you just have to register as a Sky Ticket customer. If this is successful, you can start. You can conveniently access the tickets and enjoy movies, series and/or sports events. You should also have access to the watch list of your account. This means you can easily pick up where you left off last time. The prerequisite, of course, is that you already have a Sky Ticket. You can choose between the Entertainment Ticket, Entertainment & Cinema Ticket, Sport Ticket or Supersport Ticket. If you don’t have a ticket yet, you can get one now at www.skyticket.de/amazon.
