Sky Anytime PLUS

[DSLiverpool]

seen this coming soon, you need a HD box and sky broadband it says, I called and asked if they just meant "broadband" but they said it had to be Sky bband but didnt know why technically which makes me think hmmm

Im out of contract with Orange and Anytime + looks great and for free - anyone read more into it ?

Only that the software update to the boxes that they are pushing out has gone horribly wrong and caused regular Anytime to crash pretty much every box. So I'd hold fire a few months

What exactly is it?

We have SkyHD and Sky Broadband...

I'm guessing the RJ45 socket on the back of the box might be coming into use..

Seems to me that this has some interesting implications for the UK's internet capabilities. BT might well have their similar service, but this means that virtually **every** Sky subscriber will be able to jam up the web by downloading movies, sport, whatever. I live in a rural area - I question whether the infrastructure is there.

We'll have to invest heavily in upgrading the Internet tubes! We need atleast double the circumfrence of the current tube infrastructure.

Sky BB is ADSL andis therefore st. We binned it for LLU bethere as we have no cable option. Lord knows how fked it will be when this comes on stream.

Looking forward to trying this out actually!

set mine up today. this is the start of sky coming away from dish delivery i reckon. as bband speeds can hack it, everything will come down the phone line.

they had to do this to combat virgin's and bt's every improving service. it looks pretty good so far, and i'm sure the amount of content will increase in time.

they'll have to jump on the bt infinity backbone and offer 30Mb+ broadband for this to really get a grip though.
