well you can have a 360 or ps3 anywhere... you have to have a skybox wired to the dish.

so basically... less wiring and convenience.

So, if I was a Sky subscriber, and I owned a 360 (or perhaps, in the future, a PS3), then I would be able to use the console as a regular set top box? I'm not exactly sure how that would work.

why not?

you plug it in... connect to the internet and you have a set top box.  its tv streamed via the internet.

why dont you get it?

So you don't need a Sky subscription?

Let me rephrase: If I had a Sky subscription (I do), would I need to pay extra to get Sky Player on the console? And if I didn't, could I still use the console as a set top box? Would it be free?
