It should appear automatically if you have updates switched on – at least it did for me.

Why not ask this question in our forums for more people to be able to respond?

There will be 3 versions of the streams available depending on the speed of your broadband connection, the highest being full TV quality.

I think the prices are reasonable considering you don’t just get standrd sky, but also get all the on demand material available too, which isn’t available on normal sky (through a Sky/Sky+/Sky HD box). Also, only the decent channels are available, so no endless flicking through 100’s of channels!!

No matter what Sky/Microsoft achieve though, some people will always complain!!

John,
totally agree ! Pricing needs to be alot lower. It is after all lower quality Internet streaming.

Fair enough.

But what the important thing here is that companies are actually finally doing something with Media Center and that Microsoft are actively working with big named companies, like Sky, to bring content to Media Center.

That is better than it just being left…..

I gave up SKY years ago because they charge too much for the content supplied.

Who would want to pay > £15 for poor quality internet tv?

If I require internet tv I can use CatchUpTv to view all freeview channels for nothing.
