Sky TV hits Xbox 360 On October 27
« on: October 14, 2009, 11:43:58 AM »
Sky Player, the new way to get Sky TV through your Xbox 360 will be available in just two weeks time, Microsoft has confirmed.

"October 27 - that's the date when you'll be able to watch TV from Sky on your Xbox 360," said Graeme Boyd, Microsoft Europe's Xbox community manager.

Sky TV programmes will be available to view live or on demand, although pricing will not be announced until the Sky Player launches.

The line-up sounds very similar to what's currently available through a satellite dish. It includes movies and entertainment shows, as well as documentaries and programming dedicated to kids, music, the arts and sport, including Premier League football and Test Match cricket.

That would be great, i've heard that you'll get charged either way, which pretty much sucks!

Just got off the phone with sky. If you have sky but no multi room you pay about ten pounds a month to watch it on your xbox. If you have multi room already watching it on your xbox is free.

Have any of you signed up for the early preview?
Can't wait for Shenmue 3



I hate jokes that rely on visual imagery.

I've had it right up to here with them.

I thinks its a great idea. Like when you can stream music from your pc through the Xbox.

Its nice to have a choice. I dont have sky and dont watch TV that often either but its nice to know that if I wanted to its available

Can't wait for Shenmue 3
