BskyB are taking over the ISP Easynet, I assume, in part to give them access to this market. It's not going as fast as they would like though! I wonder what they will charge? Can't see them giving away something for nothing!0

Sorry but i don't have sky, so i may have this wrong... But if your already a sky subscriber and paying for it then its not free. For someone like me i would have to subscribe and pay a monthly fee.. Would i not??
If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.0 -

you need to be a sky customer that subscribes to either movies or sports to access the FREE tv via broadband service.
so its FREE in a way! lol0 -
if you only subscribed to the family package then i dont think you can get access to the free tv via broadband.
its another sky tactic of thinking ahead,now that ntl is one big company and it may get people to upgrade there packages for this extra feature?
it looks like you will have to download the films before you can view them,upto 3 hours.0 -
Question for u
My brother who lives in 20 mile away has the full sky package but doesnt have a pc. I have broadband but no sky. Could he sign up, and i get to use the sky broadband thing at my house ??0 -
If you look around the net you can already find a lot of what SKY provides from other websites - particularly sport.
If you're struggling to find it you may even find a link at the bottom of this post to help guide you
