Have you got the Sky Player Yet?

drunkmonkey

Sorry I know there's a thread on the sky player already but talking to a Sky representive last night he said the rules have changed and you have to be signed up for sky player before it will appear on your xbox dash.

Just want to see is there any truth to this.

tks

I checked last night and I didn't have it, but I just changed my email address on sky player now to link to my Xbox account, I'll let you know when I get home if this makes any difference

No i dont have it nor will i be getting it untill they have some usefull channels and make it about 1/4 of the price. Why would anyone pay for this when the full range of channels are available for more or less the same money.

Only people i can see this being of any use for is the people who cant get sky, NTL/Chorus or freesat. And if you cant get any of them i doubt you can get 2mb broadband.

I've had mine since Wednesday of last week. It's good but if I didn't have multiroom already I wouldn't even bother paying for this. Terrible selection of live channels.

Gold member here...signed up for Sky Player...but it's not on my dashboard!

(You need to reflect this in your poll options)

Anyway, I'm really not bothered as you can only get a very small amount of channels via the 'service' and the on-demand selection is awful! You even have to pay for some of it!!!

Where's the 'I have it but it's only on my dashboard sometimes' option?

Sky player is there on the dash for me, but we have Sky HD boxes next to both of our consoles so it isn't needed. Does the Sky player do HD?

Same situation here. Really, the poll does need to be amended.

Gold Membership, Not a Sky Customer, but I have signed up for a SkyiD with no subscription.

There is a message on my Dashboard under 'Video Marketplace' saying that they are working on having Sky Player restored asap and this weekend they are conducting tests to resolve the issue. This message only appeared in the last two hours afaik.

Hope this helps.

Yep

Have had it on my dash since last Friday.

Ravage1616

Just downloaded it now and working Perfectly!! About time!

Just checked it there now and downloaded the sky player but i don't have a sky sub as I have cable. Still can get Sky News on it.

AdMMM

Have had it since Friday and am very impressed so far. I used to have a Sky Box in my room but my HDTV does a pretty poor job of rendering SD input so it always looked terrible, regardless of the channel I was watching. I have a 3mb connection and it can comfortably stream at the highest quality setting, albeit only when not downloading anything. The selection of movies is also very impressive - I was expecting Sky Screen 1 + 2 and maybe a few On Demand movies - with hundreds of movies available at a pull of a trigger!

I already have a sky player account, and nothing appearing my xbox dash.

Read here that some people linked their xboxid and e-mail via sky.

Can someone tell where to find that as I cannot find it anywhere in my sky player settings.

Thanks

set up a new tag under ireland. yo ucan use that for buying points.
my problem is my gold account is linked to US tag/account so im at the back of the queue i think for sky player.

im hoping when mere mortals get it itll be fine once i link to my gold US tag
