FAO sky customers

[mrs moneypenny]

this is probably something really old and everybody already knows about it but me, but ive just come across this new software you can download for free from the sky.com website so that you can view movies and sport on your computer. ive just downloaded it and im currently downloading some movies to watch, so i cant tell you how good it is or not yet. anyway just incase you dont know about it you have to go to here http://czone.sky.com/customerzone/home and look half way down the page and it says sky by broadband. you have to be a sky customer though to use it.

I looked at that about a month ago and the way I read it you were charged onto your sky account for the films, or have they changed this now?

If you subscribe to Sky movies 1 and 2, you can view Sky movies for free on your computer.

If you subscribe to Sky sports 1 and 2, you can view Sky sports for free on your computer.

oh right, thats why it said I had to pay then as I don't subcribe to those channels. Thanks for clearing that up, I thought I was missing out on free things there for a minute.

I've used Sky Broadband for about five months now and whilst I didn't have any technical problems myself, I know that a number of people have had quite a few problems getting it up and running.

There have been a number of discussions about it on Digital Spy, so if anyone does have any problems that website (http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/search.php?searchid=823540) would be a good place to start.

You should also be aware that you will have to install and run a (perfectly legal) file-sharing application called Kontiki. Sky distributes its content using P2P file sharing.

Well I guess you could burn them to DVD and watch them later? Thos of us without SKY+ can't do that at the moment
