Right update to your question , I downloaded In Treatment off Anytime+ which expired on Anytime+ yesterday I've just checked and the content is still playable today.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Is there a place to look online which shows what content will be pushed to the Anytime showcase each week or is just random apart from the Movies?

It's random , I currently have Unforgettable HD, Suits Dave HD , Gadget Geeks Sky One HD , Ford Super Sunday Goals SD , England vs Pakistan Highlights SD , Harrys Law Universal HD , Stella Sky One HD , How Hard can it be Nat Geo HD , Soccer AM Best bits Sky Sports HD , Monty Python Almost the truth Sky Arts 1 HD , Cloudstreet Sky Atlantic HD , The Wire Sky Atlantic , jabberwock Syfy HD , plus a good deal more at least 6 or 7 HD movies it's refreshed every day. Generally the main Sky One/Atlantic/Living shows have that weeks episode put on.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Ahhh, ok thanks for that MM.
I was thinking that if they published what would appear on Anytime in advance, if theres a show on there that you were going to record it would effectively free up a tuner allowing you to avoid a clash.

I suppose it depends how much you record but I never have a massive issue with it , heres an example how often shows are repeated.
Hawaii Five O it's on Thursday 8pm Sky One HD , Saturday Sky 2 8pm , Sunday 9pm Sky One HD and Monday Sky 2 10.30pm I use the Sky+ app for alternative airings.
It's the same for most shows on pay TV channels having said that we watch very little off terrestrial however we do have catchup via Xbox 360 and a connected tv.

Sky 2 is an absolute life saver for recording shows. Its the channel I probably record most of my Sky related shows from.

And no doubt Sky would keep that to themselves and again abuse their dominant position.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Well maybe for you MM but basically Sky are witholding Sky Atlantic and certain HD variants of channels from Virgin's cable network to dent its subscriber numbers and in my and many others minds that is called abusive practise or to put it another anti-competitive behaviour and they have a track record of doing it time after time as we have seen with the past inquiry into Sports and the current inquiry into Movies.

Not Sky Atlantic or certain HD channel variants.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Isn't Sky Atlantic the only channel though?
The rest is just premium HD channels that are missing but the content is all there.
