BBC iPlayer and ITV Player on Sky+

I didn't know you could get these until today, but when I looked through the menus I couldn't find them anywhere.

Anyone know how to get them? Do I have to phone Sky to set them up?

    Do you mean it has to be connected to the wifi router/box thingy? If so, we've no chance then as the two are in different rooms :S
  • there is a thing you can buy on the sky website to link the two... if you go there and type 'on demand wireless' it will show you (sorry not sure how to post links yet!)

    Yes thats why I said .../Homeplug/WiFi Adapter. I use homeplugs , but bear in mind if you use it a lot make sure you are on an unlimited download ISP , and that your speed is up to it

    also make sure that your sky box is compatible with the on demand service as ours wasn't.

    you need to activate the service either online or by phone too.

    when its activated, you are connected to your internet and ready to go you access it through the 'on demand - red button' :)

    Thanks. Tbh at £20 I don't think I'll bother yet. I've got my mac that i can watch them on but it would be nice to watch them on something bigger. Maybe in the new year.

    Thanks though, I appreciate everyone's help :)
