Sky installation..

Well I had Sky TV installed a few days ago and it went perfectly, 2 installers turned up and asked where I wanted the 2 Sky+HD boxes and did I have any special requirements as to where the cable should run. I told what I wanted and away they went.

Install is perfect cables all extremely well run and placed boxes working perfectly and they even placed phone extension points for when the Sky phoneline line goes live next week.

Overall extremely happy and I'm saving money aswell. They were even nice enough to unplug the TiVo although he did want a look at it first and can you believe it locked up lol.

Re: Sky installation..

Well I'm now a triple play Sky customer and everything seem to be very very good (fingers crossed). I'm over the moon that the BB is unlimited because I have been hammering Anytime+. I'm sure on a VM connection I would of spent the last 3 days constantly throttled.

Considering a 3rd Sky+HD box so does anyone know if this will also have access to Anytime+ the same as my first 2 boxes?

Its staggering as at the moment we have Sky coming out of out ears with it on iOS devices, xbox360, Laptop, and the Skyf1 red button features are amazing.

I also downloaded a TV show via the cloud just to see if I could, So it seems if I park my car in town then leave my laptop down loading via the cloud I can get my downloading done whilst shopping. I have to be very close the actual mall though to pick up the network.

Re: Sky installation..

I have exactly the same experience as you re BB. I did all of Sopranos in HD and no problems re speed capping. It is quite amazing as previously with VM if I watched IPlayer for a while it would become useless. Now I can abuse AT+ as muh as I want and still use the Sky BB for streaming.

Glad you're happy with Sky. Good thing right now is that if you didn't have Sky before its not a huge issue as alot of the older Atlantic stuff is on AT+.
