Sky Player

Matt

Is anyone else using this? I've just installed it on my laptop as we subscribe to everything apart from Sports, and it seems pretty good.

It can only be used on one PC, which is fine as the wife has an Apple Mac, so it's on my laptop.

I'm just downloading a film to watch now, and will report back once I've given it a go

baldie87

can you only watch stuff youve subscribed to through sky so you couldnt watch sky movies for free etc

Matt

Yeah, the stuff available is based on your subscription package. We have everything apart from the Sports, so we can't watch sports on there either. You create an account and you have to associate it with your viewing card, so I'm assuming it takes the package information from that, thus allowing you access to the relevent content.

That looks great, will have a play later on.

baldie87

yea looks pritty good specialy if ur on the move, but shame you can only get it on one computer

Jamee

what about linking it up with someones viewing card that has everything????

How much gb does it take and where from???...sky.com???

Matt

Suppose you could use someone elses viewing card details, but you'd have to use their sky.com account as well. Not sure how the restrictions on that would work though?

As for gb, a 1.5 hour movie was _800mb when I downloaded it.

Jamee

so what can you watch, or is all dlownloading?

Matt

You can stream/download a selection of stuff. There are programms from each of the packages....Entertainment, Documentries, Movies etc. It's always changing the content on there from what I can gather.

Jamee

might go on sky.com now then, what details i need matt?

Matt

just your viewing card/account number to sign up mate

Jamee

i know viewing card number but wouldnt have a clue about my account number.

Matt

It's the same mate

Jamee
