Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Sky arriving on 360 next month

The next Xbox 360 dashboard update will arrive next month.

The October issue of Sky Magazine states that the Sky Player will be available to download on the console. A web address linked from the publication contains the month of release in the URL.

The service will be accessible for Xbox Live Gold members, but only Sky subscribers with the relevant movie and sports packages will be able to access premium content.

As well as live television, it will share features with the PC version of the player, allowing the availability of movies and on-demand content.

The update will also be expected to include social networking functionality, including Facebook and Twitter.

Yeah that does make it quite nice. Won't have to pay for multi-room etc.

Be able to watch premier league games where ever the 360 is, that is cool :)



do you already have to have sky for this to work? or can i just fire up my 360 and use it?

I didn't order rude service thank you



Couple of questions folks.
1 I live in Ireland so will I get it.
2 I have family package so will I get that on my 360 for no extra cost.
3 If so can I watch different channels in different room through 360.
Thanks in advance.
If answer is yes to my questions I will be one happy camper.

1. not sure

2. yes

3. yes

To test it go to skyplayer and see if that works, if it does then it should work on your 360 presumably.  Sky player is awesome btw, I watch the live footy in the garden on my laptop sometimes its that good.

Thanx I will check it out.

Altough I imagine I should get it.



 

 

 

 

Does anyone who could take advantage of this actually care? As far as I know they've lost 60% of their viewership since they debuted and is little more than the Brittish version of Fox (including the almost hilariously biased news).



You do not have the right to never be offended.

can't wait for this....

Damn, I hope they do something like this for Directv. That would really make my day.

Enjoy!
