Re: Sky Services Chat
Although I'm an iOS man it's great to see Sky expanding their SkyGo audience by opening it up to the Andriod folks.

Re: Sky Services Chat
Likewise I'm delighted with the new channels being added to the service alongside the Android launch. Great news all around!

Re: Sky Services Chat
Don't know whether you both agree but I'd like to now see Sky Atlantic , Sky One , Sky Living added to the Anytime section of the Sky Go app allowing you to catch the last 7 days shows similar to the Iplayer app on mobile/tablet.

IMO having that feature would be huge for Sky customers. An Iplayer style catch up service would probably be bigger than any of the other serviced Sky are rumoured to be introducing.
Edit: Is it just me or is the show Brick City (Sky Atlantic) missing from Never Miss?

Re: Sky Services Chat
It would appear Comcast are to launch a similar Internet service to that Sky has recently announced , trying to compete head on with Netflix in the US
Quote:
Cable giant Comcast is to unveil a video-streaming service in another blow to Netflix’s dominance.
The firm will allow U.S. customers a similar selection of old TV shows and movies over the web for $4.99 a month - $3 less than its rival.
The service, called Xfinity Streampix, will be available this week to the company’s existing subscribers.
|
Quote:
A slew of rivals on both sides of the Atlantic are aiming to take on Netflix, which recently launched in the UK.
Broadcaster BSkyB announced a new internet which will allow British households to pay to download films without a contract or a satellite dish.

Re: Sky Services Chat
How do I activate Anytime+ online?
I logged in to MySky and then went to check equipment, under which there is section for existing customers. When I click on this it takes me to a page where I can add further services. At the bottom of the page there is Anytime+ which says added already on it. When I hover over the added button it just says it is free of charge. If I click on basket it is empty. How do I actually activate the service?

Probably already activated , it can take upto 24hrs but in reality is usually running in under 12 hrs , if not then give them a ring.

Re: Sky Services Chat
Is it possible they could have activated when I joined even though I did not ask for it?
