Oooor you could just go and get Sky Plus like everyone else in the UK

The problem with Sky player on the Xbox is not the integration of the Sky player as that works very well rather it is Sky themselves limiting the content and channels. If they expanded the content we might actually have something. This is not just a limitation of Sky player on the 360 rather it is a limitation they impose on Sky player itself even Sky produced content ironically. Unfortunately Sky do not take the Sky player seriously and that is the problem. Last.Fm on the hand is a joy to use on the Xbox.

No i ment skip the xbox part and just get the Sky Plus box ^^ 1000 channels movies and a pause buttions for live TV :D simples xD (im not a fan of consol TV when you can egt stuff 10 times better. That aplies to PlayTV aswell

I do not want Sky just the Sky player. The Xbox already has a Media extender built in and a large library of movies. What I am complaining about is the poor service provided to Sky player customers who technically are paying £15 per month for the service or are paying more for regular Sky and have free access to the Sky player.

I think the £15 per month price is actually to expensive and does not compete for example with the BT Vision service and offers less. The biggest problem is that if you as an Xbox user and not a Sky customer took the Sky Player offer up you are going to fell a little let down when you realise that you are actually paying for a large chunk of test card time for programmes they choose not to put through Sky player.
