Sky.tv Omits Adult Channels on New XBOX Service

LOS ANGELES — Sky.tv, an online entertainment service, has inked a deal to deliver content to the XBOX 360, but the company has yet to include porn in that deal.

Microsoft's XBOX 360 offers a variety of video content, including many channels from providers like Sky.tv, which is calling its channel the Sky Player service, which will replicate the video offerings of its online presence.

Except for adult. As of now, Sky.tv offers three adult channels: Television X, Adult Channel and the Playboy Channel. None of those channels will be available through the Sky Player service on the XBOX 360.

Sky.tv’s Griff Parry didn't rule out the possibility of the channels coming to the XBOX, he said it wasn't likely.

"No plans at the moment," he said. "I suspect it's quite unlikely. But it's always possible."

At launch of Sky Player, 24 non-adult channels will be available. The company plans to bring the service to the PlayStation 3 next.
