Important Update Regarding Sky TV Services in Portfolio Apartments
At Portfolio Serviced Accommodation, our mission has always been to deliver the best possible experience to every guest who stays with us. Since our founding in 2016, we have consistently looked for ways to enhance our offering and stay ahead of modern expectations.
When we first launched, Sky TV was considered a standout feature in our apartments. At the time, it offered a wide range of entertainment that guests truly valued. However, over the past few years, both the landscape of how people consume media and the associated costs of traditional services like Sky have changed significantly.
As of 20th June 2025, we will be discontinuing Sky TV from all Portfolio apartments.
This decision hasn’t been taken lightly. Alongside increasing operational costs, we’ve also carefully reviewed guest feedback and kept a close eye on modern content-viewing trends. Today, over 90% of UK adults subscribe to at least one video-on-demand (VOD) service, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney+ (source: Ofcom Media Nations Report 2024). The vast majority of our guests already use these platforms as their preferred way to watch TV and movies.
All Portfolio apartments are equipped with high-quality Smart TVs, ensuring that guests can easily access their own streaming services and enjoy their favourite channels, series, films, and even live sports.
Stepping away from Sky allows us to reinvest in areas that will bring even greater value to our guests. This change supports our ongoing efforts to adapt, grow, and enhance the overall experience we offer.
We’re grateful for your understanding and excited about what’s ahead. Thank you for choosing Portfolio.
