neo-ninja Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 i aint tried it, was wondering if i could use my parents or bros, login details...(i dont live with them)...see if i can convince them! Quote
Shaun1982 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 I dont know exactly how it works but if your an existing sky subscriber then its mostly free,maybe totally depending on what package you have at home.You can only register one xbox to use the player though Quote
neo-ninja Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 oh really only one? or only 1 xboxlive login? Quote
Shaun1982 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 Sure it said one xbox lol, try www.xbox.com/skyplayer i think it is,should be able to find out for sure there,do remember there being a question about people removing hard drives to put on another & if itl work.Something on those lines anyway Quote
srobrien Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Im confused? Im not really sure of the point in this, I have a sky box sitting under my xbox, why would I watch sky on the xbox? Is it just for the multiroom acess? Which from what I can see you still need to pay a £10pm subscription?!?!?! R Quote

Say for rooms in the house that dont have access to the LNB, saves you routing cables to it and having another box Quote
Chris`I Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Or Microsoft trying to take over the world as usual. Take your pick Quote
srobrien Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Cant complain, bought a new elite today so i could get some HD action in preperation of the new COD! R Quote
maxi-glasgow Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Yes, it's only for people who can't get more cabling into a second room for a second box. This is the case with myself as we have a communal dish. I was contemplating moving my 360 into the bedroom where I currently have the PS3 so I can watch Sky in bed. I don't have a multiroom subscription but read in that case they charge an extra £5 to add your xbox. But if you currently have multiroom and paying the extra £10 subscription anyway it's absolutely free. Which I imagine is only handy for households where their son can use the xbox in their bedroom to watch sky. The fact it is also only standard definition programming makes it even less appealing.
