Sky Anytime was a service where your sky box would download a bunch of random stuff every few weeks and store it on your box so you can watch it anytime, then they released Anytime+ a while ago where you could plug your sky box into a sky broadband connection and view stuff 'on demand' - now the have opened up the service to all broadband connections.

So for example, yesterday I went onto it and watched a episode of Adventure Time in real time, then selected the movie American Beauty to watch later on in the evening. Quite good for free.

Have you activated it through Sky website, had to do that after I'd done all the connecting etc

Anyone else using it? Seems quite cool.


Hmmm, so as long as I connect the box to the router it'll work? I've got a cable into the ps3 that's not being used, i'll give it a go.

Do you need full pack, or is it just whatever you have is available, I don't have Movies, but have everything else

They are also meant to be adding iPlayer soon too.

Works quite well although still lacking quite a bit on content.

Oh right, that makes it useful then. It was a waste of time in the olden days.

It's getting iplayer and itv content so should make it a bit better. Can't see 4OD being far behind.

I used it once when I first got it, now my box isn't even plugged into the router.
