It would be nice if they could release Sky Player on their own STB's! I am fed up with their "Anytime" service.

Very very sad choice of manufacture to work with. If they were serious they would work with the likes of Humax who produce alot of freeview and freesat equipment.
With the recent implimentation of iplayer on Freesat boxes and its strong sucess online, I would guess Sky want to join that band wagon - but charge for it -
Sky - Listen .... Iplayer works because its free..., 4 on demand is free, ITV player is free.
Why pay to watch TV when its free...

Technically the vast majority of the population pay for BBC iplayer through the TV license fee ;) The cost of the base Sky TV package over a year probably isn't that far off what we pay for the TV license.

Technically you don't need to pay a TV licence to watch iPlayer...

Indeed (unless you use the view live option for channels), but, it's still how it's paid for :)

That people pay a subscription to Sky & still put up with adverts never ceases to amaze me, the old addage holds true, a fool and his money are easily parted.

Soooo true. And how much TV can people really watch to justify having to spend £18 + per month for hundreds of channels. Can only watch one at a time.
