Deadline might have been too tight for Sky to send over. I'm not aware of the ticket number, but I'll have a nose around later.

Re: Sky Anytime
 
If I use the search facility to look for Bones it finds S7:Ep1 in TV Choice OD but if I go directly into Sky Anytime > Sky Living it shows S7:Ep2 also. Wassup?

Re: Sky Anytime
 
Can anyone tell me how soon after a programme is aired will it turn up on Sky Anytime or any other OD for that matter? The latest episode of Bones was aired last night but I didn't get to see it. When can I expect it to be available to view in On Demand?

All gone now! :(

I may still get to see Ep12 and Ep13 if they are aired this/next week but my wife won't which is a shame as it's yet another series that we have just discovered and both enjoy. From the episode description on IMDb, I have definitely missed Ep5 and I suspect that it wasn't aired with the others and I wonder now if Ep12 and Ep13 will be.

Does this sort of thing happen a lot?

There's loads of stuff missing that should be there on our boxes.

The Tourist and Made in Dagenham to name but 2.

They are on Virgin Media Player and they both premiered weeks ago on Sky so it's not that I haven't given it time, but that there's an issue.

It is becoming a joke now, they've had over a month since launch and the content is still subpar to what is available on Sky itself. It seems like whoever is uploading the content just isn't doing checks as anytime someone points out an individual case Essjay has it sorted.

Now... can I get a job in on demand quality assurance please? :D

Essjay said HD content was coming very soon , That was 6 weeks a go.

None has appeared.


Just noticed there is a folder called "Challenge" on Sky Anytime on TV Choice on demand with nothing in it.

Made in Dagenham and The Tourist are both available OD in SD and HD through Sky.

Lie to me Season 1 has now completely been removed off Sky , Bones has Season 7 Episodes 1, 2, 3 on Sky.

Hello cotomulson,

Apologies for the incorrect info earlier, I did a search on the office Tivo and it showed a different time and date but I can see from previous schedules that this has aired before.

But just to clarify that not all content that is shown on the Virgin Media is necessarily shown on the on demand facility.

Here's alink for the schedules for on-demand, you can also check the scheduled for the Virgin Media Player also via the same link.

Hope this helps.

So The Tourist and Made in Dagenham will not be on the boxes ?

Have looked at that link not a single movie from Sky Anytime is listed. What a joke.

If you read the other posts you will see that there has been a problem and Essjay has looked in to it, So it is been resolved.

Hopefully it is fixed very soon. I am not holding my breath.

Re: Sky Anytime
 
Diablo, Essjay is very helpful, however our version of Anytime has been a disappointment after a bright start. It's layout is all over the place and advertises stuff that ain't on there:( The lack of sky premier movies is a big letdown.

Yep, not a single one listed. Had a look at that Colette's posts and she doesn't seem to know what she's talking about.

You can say that again.

Only thing I am disappointed is the lack of HD movies on demand.

As one would expect on Sky, however the old content on VM's Anytime is removed in a timely fashion but the new content lags behind or, as in the case of three episodes of Lie To Me, never arrives at all. :confused:

I've worked in the IT industry for 30 years and I'd be re-booting someone's seating area if a file transfer process was repeatedly failing and no-one was noticing. :mad:

Also, what about the point I made about the search facility? It's showing one episode of Bones but there are two available (although there should be three :rolleyes:).
