Sorry but how can you save £9 /month by using Primus or O2 when Sky Unlimited broadband only costs £7.50 / month?

Not all areas can get the Sky Unlimited service, if you can only get Sky Connect its about £17 a month - it depends on the service availability from the exchange box.

Interesting.. just logged into sky.com to activate it, then took a look on my box. Seems a cool service. It's no Netflix, but its good for free!

The only problem is if your broadband router isn't close enough to your Sky box to use an ethernet cable you need to connect wirelessly. That's fine I use wireless broadband at home anyway.

Oh, I you need a Sky wireless connecter. Luckily the Sky shop sells these.

£60?!

No such thing as a freebie...

Buy a cheap pair of homeplugs, simples!

We have Sky+HD but do not have Sky Broadband and we have always had Sky+ Anytime, I believe because we have the movies pack. My son can watch on his laptop and XBOX 360 which saves having to pay another £10 for muti-room. So I don't think we will be gaining any extra by this change.

Tilee I dont think thats Sky+ Anytime, what you have sounds like Sky Go. Where you can add extra devices laptop/xbox/smart phone.

I have a Sky+ HD box how do I start using this?

penrhyn

Simple , connect your Sky+HD box to your router using an Ethernet cable.
Register for Anytime + on the MySky site.

Worth the effort as the BBC iPlayer will be added, hopefully, by Easter.
