I think it will be a premium service
Maybe its a rebrand of Sky Atlantic?
Unless they mean literally as in you connect to people so a rebrand of Movies24
]Sky registered a trademark last month for Sky Vantage... whatever that will be!

They also registered a "Sky Connect" - my guess is that that would be something to do with internet.

Why would Comcast want to rebrand a successful Europe-wide channel showing US imports as 'Sky Vantage'?

Why would Comcast put the Sky brand on a free movie channel, and how would the name 'Sky Connect' be any indication of that channel's purpose?

That was a loyalty scheme originally called 'Sky Atlantic VIP' and had its own HD/SD EPG slots in the 900s, showing a few hours of random programmes. I believe it has been re-titled Sky VIP.
Sky Vantage sounds like a premium loyality scheme...

Good point, though they clearly no longer have any concern about the Sky brand on a free channel considering Sky Arts was launched on Freeview.

In the case of News and Arts, these are two channels that bring distinctive programming to a wider audience that doesn't threaten their pay-tv model. If anything, Sky Arts in the FTA era on Freeview and Freesat is as much a promotional product for those viewers to invest in Sky or NOW TV to either watch those Arts shows in HD or on-demand using their own platforms in addition to the premium programming Sky also provide.

I’m inclined to think similarly - that and Sky Connect sound like products rather than channel brands.
I think if Sky do launch more channel brands I would expect them to be more genre specific like Sky Comedy & Sky Docs.

Firstly is the quick promo style with the logo then programme title appearing on a transparent bar at the bottom of the screen new? It looks rather nice on the Eomething About Movies promo.
Secondly tomorrow Sky Arts have a 12 hour broadcast The Third Day: Autumn, "taking you deeper into the world of the Third Day". Seems it is a 12 hour live episode sitting at the half way point of the series airing on Sky Atlantic.
