On the contrary, I'm sure I'd read it did. I assumed it did progressive download into RAM or flash.

To be fair this website does suggest it , however I'm sure it doesn't have this function.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Yeah, that was where I read it.
It's not unreasonable. My Samsung TV does a fine job of streaming over ADSL without a hard drive.

Sky Atlantic to air Mad Men premiere with vintage 1960s ad breaks
Quote:
Mad Men's attention to period detail will extend beyond the show itself when the long-awaited fifth series makes its UK debut tonight: Sky Atlantic will not air any current advertisements during the two-hour season premiere, replacing them entirely with classic promos from the 1960s.
Brands that would have been top of the wishlist for Don Draper's British equivalents, including Milk Tray, Citroen, Kit Kat, Tetley and Birdseye, will feature. There will also be a smattering of American advertisements from the 1960s, including American Airlines and Pringles.

Sorry to be ultra-pedantic, but I was going on what the Sky web page for this stated, under ' Compatible Sky+ box'

New deal brings more Ryder Cup and European Tour golf to Sky Sports.
Quote:
Sky Sports has been awarded three more Ryder Cups and another six years of European Tour golf in a new deal with the European Tour.
The agreement means Sky Sports viewers can continue to enjoy regular tournament coverage of some of golf's best players, including Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, as well as Europe's mouth-watering contests with the United States until the end of 2018.
The deal will take the partnership between Sky Sports and the European Tour into its 25th year, a relationship that has witnessed a huge increase in events, prize money and countries visited, while the Ryder Cup has become one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
The new contract provides Sky Sports with TV, mobile, online and tablet rights for:
RYDER CUP - Exclusive live coverage of three Ryder Cups: Gleneagles in 2014, Minnesota in 2016 and Paris in 2018. The 2012 Ryder Cup from Medinah will also be live on Sky Sports as part of the existing deal.
EUROPEAN TOUR - A minimum of 28 events from the Race to Dubai including for the first time on Sky Sports, exclusive live coverage of all four days of both the BMW PGA Championship from Wentworth and the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open at Castle Stuart.
WORLD GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS - Exclusive live coverage of all four World Golf Championship events: the Accenture Matchplay Championship, Cadillac Championship, Bridgestone Invitational in the USA and HSBC Champions tournament in China.
