Amazon are going to sell their biggest unique selling point programme they've ever had in the UK to Sky by the end of the year? I don't think so. And Sky 3 closed years ago.
Am I the only person who accepts it possible to like Top Gear and The Grand Tour? It seems an unwritten rule you have to pick one and trash the other one.

Thing is I don't really like watching shows on my PC and have no other way to watch it on my tv without paying out for a new graphics card or similar,”
Slightly off topic but seeing as Mr Robot has just started being shown on Universal on Sky I wonder if The Grand Tour will eventually be shown on on anything other than Amazon.

Mr Robot isn't an Amazon original though, they bought the rights to show it.
But I wouldn't rule out it being shown on another channel, I mean in a year or 2 Amazon could try selling the show to a broadcaster.

Off topic but oddly Mr Robot is on Universal and SyFy.

Yes, with a new 1 minute teaser promo too. I think it’ll still be a while until we see the actual series though. Although they’ve recorded nearly all of the ‘on location’ bits, they’ve still only recorded one episodes studio ‘bits’ (in South Africa). The second episode is due to be filmed mid-September (in California).
Someone on 5 Live this morning was saying he'd been at a preview of the new show at the Edinburgh TV festival last night. He said the showreel was outstanding.
