  Sky One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sky One is British Sky Broadcasting's flagship entertainment channel in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
On September 1 1993 Sky One was encrypted as part of the Sky subscription package, and could no longer be viewed outside the UK and Ireland without fraudulently exporting a box, or receiving it over cable.
More recently, Sky One Mix (since renamed Sky Mix and then Sky Two in October 2005) was launched as a "catch-up" channel, screening repeats of key Sky One programmes later in the same week.

Sky TV originated as a four-channel service on the Astra satellite at 19.2° east.
The Astra satellite was owned by a Luxembourg-based consortium and controlled from there, but Sky's broadcasts originated in the UK and were subject to British regulation, originally by the Cable Authority and later by the Independent Television Commission.
Once again Sky faced competition, this time from ONdigital (later renamed ITV Digital), and once more saw off its rivals partly thanks to aggressive marketing and partly because of its rivals' technical and financial failures.
