Choosing what to see will be really easy for everyone.”

In the Italian market Stream provides access to all Sky content from apps including Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, DAZN, RaiPlay, Discovery+, Paramount+, Apple TV+ and Mediaset Infinity as well as the main free-to-air channels in a single interface.
