It used to be called '''British Sky Broadcasting Limited''', '''BSkyB''' and '''Sky'''. It offers television and [[Bandwidth (computing)|broadband]] Internet services in the United Kingdom. ==History== ===Origins=== The present service can trace its heritage back to 1990, when BSkyB's predecessors [[British Satellite Broadcasting]] encrypted their respective film channels – [[Sky Movies]] and [[The Movie Channel (UK)|The Movie Channel]] which required viewers to get decoding equipment and a subscription to watch the channels. After the two companies merged, subscribers could get access to both channels, and two years later, the sports channel [[Sky Sports]] also became encrypted. == Related pages == *[[Sky Sports]] *[[Sky News]] ==References== <references/> {{Sky Group}} {{TV-stub}} [[Category:1990 establishments in the United Kingdom]] [[Category:British Sky Broadcasting| ]]
