    Sky Player on Xbox

    Has anyone actually managed to get this working yet?

    Been trying for two days. It's a little redundant, as I can already get the service on my PC (which is connected to the same monitor as my Xbox), but it is a little irritating. If you promise something, you should deliver.

    Atleast you have the option to see Sky Player. It seems MS are blocking all updates at present as I don't have the sky player option at all on mine.

    This is a good deal for sky but not for consumers, your be better off just getting sky installed, probably work out cheaper.

    Re: Sky Player on Xbox

    They are still holding off on releasing it to those that weren't on xbox live the morning it was meant to launch so only a handful of users got hold of it and even they are still suffering problems with it

    Re: Sky Player on Xbox

    I'm really hoping (well, my girlfriend is) that this works as we recently moved to an area where we're not allowed to put a sky dish up.

    MS and Sky have gone quiet on it again so I doubt we will see a complete roll out any time soon

    were you one of the few that got the initial release? Or do you mean that that you got it yesterday? I still cant see any mention of it anywhere, checked last night, but I am looking in the video marketplace. Those who have installed it, how have you navigated to it?
