I don't have a Sky subscription, but my parents do and they will never be using it through an Xbox - does anyone know if it's possible to use an account registered at a different address in a different name?

(Couldn't decide whether this should go in TV or Computer Games, I'll let the mods decide...)

Should be ok as I'm planning on doing the same

Sky Player subscriptions come free for satellite customers, and start at £15 per month for those without a dish. However, a word to the thrifty: those with a second home, or trekking to university with their Xbox in tow, might like to remember that each Sky Player account can have four PCs attched, as well as one Xbox, and those consoles and PCs needn’t be in the same household as the satellite dish.

Essentially, what Sky is offering here is a second subscription for use anywhere you like, or a second set-top box for those wanting movies and sports in their bedroom.

Although annoyingly you still seem to need an Xbox Live Gold membership. Not going to shell out £40 just to watch Sky on my 360 instead of using my Sky box.

Cool Im going to give it a try then!

Ps why would you have a 360 and *not* have a gold live account, it's one of the best things about it.
