    Read the original post a bit more clearly - it's about Sky Anytime+ (i.e. plus) not Sky Anytime.

    Yes indeed - but the OP then talks about Sky Anytime, when talking about his mother, saying that broadband was required - when it is not.

    I think you're getting a bit confused now too.

    The OP taks about Sky+ not Sky Anytime+ in connection with his mother.

    My mums just left sky as they would'nt let her upgrade to sky+ unless she took multi room & broadband. She explained she was a widow in her 60's so would'nt benefit from multi room & did'nt own a computer but to no avail, so she left!

    As to the reason behind that I suspect it was because mother wanted a free Sky+ box and would only be given one if she took out multiroom and broadband. She could probably have upgraded her box if she paid for it.

    What are you on about?

    Sky Anytime Plus is Sky's video on demand service.

    1. It hasn't launched yet (although it is on trial) so you can't have it already on TalkTalk or otherwise.
    2. When it does launch it will only be available initially to Sky broadband users.

    http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/anytimeplus-register/?DCMP=DMC-2705_skyAnytimeplus

    Sky Anytime which is a completely different service is available through most Sky boxes and does not require a broadband connection.

    Perhaps you could explain exatly what it is you have got?
