Sky broadcasting on Windows Media Center

November 19

by James 19. November 2009 18:13

Great news for my UK peeps – Sky is now available on Windows Media Center. For the longest time Sky has had a lot of great TV programming including the best football league in the world (Premier League :-) ) but you needed one of those pesky satellite dishes and boxes under your tv. Well that is no more because they’re doing it over the internet now! No dish, no box just your PC. Lovely.

To celebrate the launch of Sky Player on Windows 7, Sky and Microsoft are offering non Sky TV customers three months of Sky Player for the price of two with any Windows 7 purchase. Customers who already have Windows 7 can subscribe to the offer via the Sky Player sign in page in Windows Media Center.

Check it out here: http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/skyplayer/

Enjoy.

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

The excellent Sky Player interface acts like a super-slick webpage. If you have access to live TV streaming you're presented with an EPG displaying a grid of programme information. This can be browsed day by day and used to schedule remote recordings to your Sky+.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

I like this scheme of sky that:
There are benefits for existing Sky customers who will be able to access Sky Player for as little as £5 a month.
Customers with Multiroom or Sky Broadband Unlimited will have free access.
And non-Sky TV customers will require a monthly subscription of £15 to their base entertainment pack.
