I didn't know that Sky offered this - ???.
I explained the implications of the data transfer limits etc, and the probably need to upgrade.
Does anyone have any experince of this - is this Sky offer ligitimate ?
What Plusnet package is best ( ok depends on how many hours - but lets say a few hours sports a day. )
thanks
Mal

https://skyplayer.sky.com/vod/page/home.do think this is what they are referring to.
Would suppose it depends on the bit rate and how much they watch (would probably be similar to iPlayer)
Hope this helps.

You found your way around the Sky site better than I managed
Seems an expensive way of doing it - ?
but some locations can't have satellite dishes due to planning restrictions in conservation areas

I suspect this service was in the pipeline for a while and why Sky BB is quoted as unlimited as they probably funnel some of the money back into bandwidth.

On-line also seems very expensive.
But the killer is that its "Windows" only, and I refuse to pay Gates just to go online

But seriously , folks.... I have a setup which gets me lots of Freeview and quite a few other European channels, including Eurosport and DSF etc.
I have and old dish which is pointing to the ASTRA SAT and an old NOKIA Decoder.
Suits me fine.

Quote from: community ....I also have a TV Tuner (Pinnacle 3101X) installed which gets me everything straight to my PC
I have 2 tuners - watch one channel and record another - and can recommend Webscheduler, XMLTV GUI and ProgDVB as great (free) applications
