Do we get Sky on catchup or just archive content? I'm confused by nothing from Sky appearing under catchup by channel.

We will get catch up content on TV choice for some reason.

It's not officially a catchup service. It's a curated catalogue of Sky content that just happens to include recent programming.

Thanks for telling me that. I was getting confused.

It will arrive its available on Sky in both SD and HD.

So far, I have not seen any content other than Sky's own programming. There are no US dramas such as Chase, Terra Nova, House etc.

It seems as though the Sky 1 folder is going to be a lot like Sky Living which has not had any US content added to it such as Bones and Criminal Minds etc yet we've had that folder for months.

I was really looking forward to Sky Anytime on VM but not looking that great if you don't have the Movie subscriptions :-(

I guess after hearing about it in August, I get a little impatient. I really hope you're right because it would be brilliant to have all that content OD with Virgin after never having SKY broadband when I was with Sky thus missing out on Anytime +.

Many thanks.

I'm sure the US content will arrive , it depends on the deals Sky signs with the US networks however I would imagine their new content acquisitions would mostly include On Demand rights as Glee , Terra Nova , Ringer , Modern Family etc are available.

Yes it would be nice to see some of the US content.

it seems that way.

I know the posts suggest the us content is coming, I just can't understand why they prioritise stupid karaoke programs and Terry Pratchett adaptations over decent content unless the good stuff isn't coming after all.
