i thought something didnt seesm right when i saw his name eariler today thats why i havnt posted. Will he return thou that is the £1 million question. Anyway, i am really hoping Sky Anytime gets HD content soon

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I have to say that I have been put off using Sky Anytime in On Demand because of the unreliability with the few series that I have tried to follow on it. There have been missing episodes, episodes that came and went within a day or so and duplicated episodes.

It's even worse now that I find that there is a disparity between platforms with the BBC iPlayer content too. I felt sure I could rely on the consistency of this but have been surprised that some series on the on-line iPlayer are not available on the VM OD version.

Seemingly there are problems with the uploads from both the BBC and Sky but VM aren't taking an active interest in pursuing the selective uploading from the BBC and the failures in uploading from Sky.

I'm not entirely convinced that this is how the mechanism works. Do VM really store the programmes from the other broadcasters on their local hardware and expire them on the appointed date?

Never mind the quality, where's the content? If all of the SD content was there then HD would be a bonus so let's get the supply mechanism working first!

Re: Sky Anytime
 

When will On Demand integrate with Explore This Show listings? So far only films seem to.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

When upload fails are spotted, they are corrected. Depends where the fault happens, sometimes can be a local headend copy failure.

VM have rights for so many days for programmes/series, they do expire and have to be removed.

He got caught out registering a new account a few weeks ago on the official forums.
I said I wondered where Gerald had got to but seems he had popped up again as another account.
A Virgin employee asked if he was the same person and about a day later he seemed to be gone and all his 'new' posts also.
My comments pointing out it was him were also deleted!

Anyway to keep on topic......the missing HD and the still missing content compared to the real Sky version need sorting and once that happens it will be amazing

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Oh i see. That makes sense.

I would be could as well if they could add old F1 races and maybe highlights of them on Sky Anytime as well when the actaul channels launches. It would be good to see some of the old great races again

Re: Sky Anytime
 

whats HD boy banned for ? didnt he used to give out information on his own blog ?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

You are getting confused with the legendary Media Boy and his blogs.:)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

my mistake ! lol

Re: Sky Anytime
 

His second account was Buddie Boy on the official forums but he was swiftly booted from there also.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Looking at the VM Sky Anytime offering it would appear that VM content is from Sky Anytime+ which has HD movies but nothing whatsoever now in the entertainment , the official line from Sky is over the coming months HD content will be added to Anytime+ starting with Sky One content. Sky customers get their HD content delivered via satellite (no downloading to be done) on Sky Anytime however I would also like to see HD added to Anytime+.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I noticed that some of the 3D content has been taken of over the last month with more to be removed this coming week. (ESPN X Games)

There will be nothing left at this rate unless new stuff gets added.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

For the channels that Virgin Media carry (Sky1, Sky Living, Sky Arts, Sky News, Sky Movies & Sky Sports) ‘Sky Anytime On Virgin Media’ carries most of the programmes as the Sky Anytime and Sky Anytime+ service on the Sky Platform. There may be a very small number of exceptions owing to some rights clearances.
