Xbox 360 Sky Problems Caused By “Unprecedented” Demand

i'm not from the UK so let me know if this sounds correct. Sky is a cable TV provider and if you subscribe to their service at 50 pounds a month you can use this sky player on your 360 at no additional cost?

i don't have cable cause i don't particularly care for television especially at the price but this is certain a nice little perk for those that do.

Sky is a Satellite-based service (hence the name), not cable. And packages run from £15-£50 a month (roughly).

Existing Sky customers get this service free with Xbox Love Gold, non-existing will have to pay £15 to get this service - which, imo, is the way forward as it's on-demand, unlike most of Sky's content (which I assume is down to technical limitations of being a satellite service).

okay, satalight/cable...all the same to me.  completetly agree with that last part.  i'm going to sign up for netflix now that the on demand downloading is coming to the ps3.  not exactly the same service but kind of the same idea...i am slave to no one but least of all the tv schedule.
