I have seen and indeed used Sky Anytime+ (my brother has it).

It ok, the user interface is very nice and there is some decent content but it isn't like VM in that when you select a show to watch you have to wait a little while (I think it usually took about 30 seconds, it seemed to vary) for the show to play).

What I don't get is why you have to wait at all, none of the content is HD and when I had BT Vision you just selected the show and away you went, if anything it was quicker than VM. BT did utilise QoS though.

As i'm sure you all know there's no catch up from the networks though.

I'd give Sky Anytime+ 5/10, must try harder. Then again i'd only give VM 7/10 and that's mainly down to catch up otherwise TVC is quite poor for me.
