Xbox sky player

[Carlito caca]

does anyone actually know when this is being released? It seems like a really good idea, one box in your living room to do everything

[:J:]

November, IIRC ?

Should already be out. My mate at work has it and our company 360 has it as well. Pretty good actually.

[:J:]

Cool, must have come out last night or this morning then

I will check it out at lunchtime

Checked mine out and no sign of it No updates and nothing on the dashboard

Where is it on your company/mates Xbox ?

Ta.

Surely it is extra hardware? how else would the sky signal get to your xbox?

would also like to know how this works. my 360 is sat next to my sky + box

Its streaming, not from a sattelite connection, from what I read, if you want to watch live streams, then you need a multiroom subscription (e.g. live football), for everything else (e.g. movies), just a normal sky subscription.

Yup, that date was plastered over the dashboard yesterday as well

If you are a Gold Member with a Sky Subscription, then it say's there is no charge.

Anything other than that, and as Silverbullet says, prices are to be confirmed.......

[LukeBird]

It'll be interesting to see the details of the subscription part...
Be interesting to see if I can use my parents sky subscription!

[MikeCR]

Yeah on dashborad bascially if you have Sky already and a gold membership its free. If you dont have Sky you can sign up for online viewing but you dont need a dish for it etc and its not a fixed contract. But you must be a GOld memeber to get it. HTH

Will the footy and movies be in HD.

Being a Virgin customer, this would be a step up...

Some of the clips about it (from E3 IIRC ??) show football being watched, so I guess it will be in HD ?
