Hmmm. Going to reserve judgement for when it comes out. Need to see what channels are on there etc. I do have experience of The Sky Mobile app and its pretty good for when you're out and about. But if there's a TiVo remote control on this one then it's clearly aimed for when you're in or out. Not sure why I'd use the Sky Mobile App if I was in front of a TV with Sky on it. So this is going to be interesting.

Although I can't see all arguments for whether it's free or not and what that means, it does seem to me that companies are bundling things in under existing charges to try and tie more customers in. E.G. Sky mobile App is 'free' to Sky customers. 'F1' is free to Sky Sports subscribers. Clearly these things aren't free, they're just packaged in as part of the money you pay. I'd love free Sky F1 if anyone knows where I can get it without having to pay £25 a month.
