Sky Anytime + VoD
As a Sky TV/Talk/broadband customer, I received an e-mail from them today
inviting me to sign up for Anytime +, video on demand. I've done so and the system seems great - and all for free! I could have opted for the £40 engineer set-up - but as set-up simply involves plugging an ethernet cable in between the HD box and the router (which, in my case, was already behind the TV), I gave that a pass! AIUI, the on-demand downloads will be in SD only, which is a shame - but it's hard to criticise a free service. -- Kev

Both this issue and providing HD downloads are going to be looked at sometime after launch (they say!). Within the new 'Anytime +' interface, there is a 'Showcase' section. This is the equivalent of the 'old' Anytime - and the programmes/movies in that section are already downloaded and are in HD. Any programme or movie in the other sections that you choose to download are in SD. It may be simply a question of bandwidth I suppose. Downloading HD movies will be much slower and take up a lot more bandwidth. I note that Sky Broadband's 'fair useage' policy asks you to avoid large downloads during peak hours (5pm - midnight). No mention of this when downloading for Anytime + however. -- Kev
