Sorry, I meant the Thomson boxes wont be updated.

Switched on my IRISH sky box and it ran through how On Demand is available and to connect the box to the Internet. Then went online and it said click here to activate then sent to sky shop to upgrade for free BUT nothing there?

Yea, it's not active yet. They should tell you that when you click activate and not send you all around their website, only to find out it's not working yet.

Jaffusmaximus · 04-10-2012 4:52pm

I spent all morning setting up my laptop as a wireless router to connect my sky box to the Internet only to be sent on a wild goose chase. They never seem to be able to launch products properly!

JDxtra · 04-10-2012 5:18pm

If I hit the ROI On Demand page, I get "Internal Server Error". So, it's not quite there yet.

If you have on demand instead of anytime then you have it. Just go into your planner and scroll in the banner.

Tardis · 04-10-2012 9:57pm

I have the on demand option but i defo do not have the undelete option in with the entertainment, docs, lifestyle etc options

If you select the planner it should be one to the left (between All and A-Z)

Tardis · 04-10-2012 10:12pm

I'm such a bloody bell end lads. I was looking in the tv guide, not the planner. Tool!!! Cheers lads

As a matter of interest, do you have the new EPG. What model number is yours? I am 9F3004 and still dont have the new EPG

Pat Gleeson · 05-10-2012 7:06pm

I did a forced update and got the new version on my Amstrad box. This may work for other boxes.

9F3002. Did a forced update a few days ago and no joy.

Pat Gleeson · 06-10-2012 10:16am

This seems to confirm that only the Amstrad DRX 890-5 boxes will accept a forced update at present. See link below for other boxes:

Do you know how long programmes can be left deleted before being restored and how can you tell how much space is left?

ApathyMonger · 06-10-2012 8:02pm

I got told (by a message on my box) to go to http://www.sky.com/tvondemand but that still redirects to the old Sky Anytime page for now. Hope they get it set up soon.

Keithl2156 · 07-10-2012 1:26am

On the phone again today with a sky advisor. Told me ring on wednesday coming to order a wireless connector as the anytime plus is launching then.

That's good news. Wonder will it cost around the 10e mark like it does in the uk?
I have my sky stb plugged into my router ready for it.

Sky are selling them for £60 in the UK - so at a guess €75 here - think I'll get some ethernet cable instead

Review of the service here which mentions the price of the wireless connector

p.oconnor · 07-10-2012 12:25pm

I wonder will the Anytime + be open to every internet provider or will they make it exclusive to sky broadband customers?

The UK launch was initially exclusive to Sky BB customers, but has long since been open to all ISP's. Can't see it being any different here (i.e. open to all). Then again ....

It's being launched shortly, I understand, so none at the moment.

billbond4 · 08-10-2012 9:43am

Noticed this morning on the Sky website, when I login to My Package, the option for Activate Anytime+ is renamed to Activate On Demand.
And when i was in the OnDemand menu on the stb, a popup said goto the sky website to activate more OnDemand services or something like that, I dont recall seen it before.

Just seen that there now aswell, I wonder when it eventually does come, be it Wednesday or not will it be as easy as activating it on the sky website or will we have to ring them. Does anyone know what happened in the UK?

JDxtra · 08-10-2012 1:55pm

Still gives an error though if you select it: "Unable to continue with order. We're unable to complete your Sky order online."

That's just a reworded message that always came up (for me at least). I'm sure they could put up a simple notice on the landing page. "coming soon - check back here soon"..

That would be great if we were in America, But were not.

Spill the beans!!!

thesultan · 08-10-2012 2:56pm

On the anytime player there is a link advertising it

Son0vagun · 08-10-2012 3:01pm

Any idea what the Irish on demand will include? BBC iplayer? RTE/TV3 players?

zg3409 · 08-10-2012 3:19pm

I would suspect it will just be the very basic as available on Sky go. They are just trying to catch up with UPC on demand. Being able to access Sky go without a laptop would be a step up.

Sky go only has a small percentage of what is on Sky TV

Yeah and the date says Oct 11 ;-)

MastiffMrs · 08-10-2012 6:35pm

On demand is working on my sky plus hd box, but not very much to look at, about 4 programs in the entertainment category&a few films (but I don't get movie package). Anytime was better

Hoping that the card trick will apply for on demand so it will think the box is in the north

So October 11th it is as originally speculated - should be interesting and will give UPC a run for their money if the speculation is to be believed.

I assume the content will depend on if you have a Irish or UK ip address.
