Re: General Sky TV Discussion

I'll need to see if I've been updated. From 9:30pm onwards last night I couldn't access on demand at all. In fact the option to access on demand was completely removed from my SKY+ box. I forgot to check this morning to see if everything was back in order.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
The suggestions by current trends will be a nice time saver as well as getting the curious to check out new shows.
I wanna know what the other new feature is now...should it not be public knowledge anyway?

The other new feature requires an update to your mobile device.

It was working ok here last night , there's been a lot of changes behind the scenes with On Demand , if your still having trouble tonight let me know and I'll try and suggest some things to try.

I liked the blacklist. Looking forward to seeing more. Undecided about Graceland.
And the tunnel looks interesting

So Fox deny us the US remake version of the Bridge because Sky Atlantic are making their own remake, which will be available to a much smaller potential audience because of the channel it's on! Pathetic!

It seems more an issue of Shine America co producing 'The Bridge' and Kudos Film part of The Shine Group producing 'The Tunnel' in the UK possibly contractual , of course Shine Group is now owned by 21st Century Fox and the founder and current CEO of Shine Group is Rupert Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth Murdoch.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
But Higher Premier League costs have hit Sky profits thus eating into its bottom line.

There is also still a huge amount of opportunity too -
Triple-play subscribers, meaning people who take three products from BSkyB, now account for 36 percent of the firm's total customer base, according to the company.
