Sky could offer pay-as-you-go OTT

Quote:

BSkyB’s planned over-the-top, Internet-delivered TV service – scheduled for launch in the first half of 2012 – could see a new pay-per-view and pay-as-you-go approach.
Since its launch in analogue DTH days, Sky’s business model has been based on monthly subscriptions on a contract basis, but according to Andrew Griffith, Chief Financial Officer at BSkyB, OTT platforms facilitate different payment models.

My multiroom box is now up and running with Anytime+ after a call to Sky.

Re: Sky Services Chat

I had an email from Sky on Thursday which I would like to confirm details from.

It says Boardwalk Empire S2 and Gavin and Stacey S1 are on Antime+. I don't have these shows on my stb. Does anyone else have these show on their Anytime+?

Also the email said my Anytime+ activation was incomplete but I have been downloading regularly from it including yesterday.

It most certainly is!

Do programmes on Anytime+ have an end date similar to the way they do on standard Anytime. If they do, would you be able to check how long Boardwalk Empire Season 1 is on for please? :)

Re: Sky Services Chat

Thanks for checking MM, I appreciate it. :)

Just to clarify, once they've been downloaded to my planner they're still watchable after the expiry date?

I've done it with quite a few shows and they've still been watchable , their website seems to also suggest that , read how long is content available

Re: Sky Services Chat

Sounds ideal. Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that i'll be able to get decent download speeds from the Sky servers. I can see them taking quiet a battering during the first few days of it being opened up to everyone!

I'm sure they'll have planned hence the register your interest , I get 9mb on my Sky BB and a HD movie is generally available to play in 60 seconds or less which is not much different to VM when you consider how long their menus take to navigate.
