You might have missed it, but Sky have launched their Sky Broadband service today, which allows you to download and watch your Sky channels via broadband!

It currently only works with Sky Movies and Sky Sports (and only if you subscribe to them) but the fact that it's on demands means I'm now watching ALL the races from British Superbikes!!

Well done Sire !!!

Installed last night - (50 Mb) + a few upgrades needed from Mr. Gates - time consuming but painless.

I thought it might have streamed the movies in some way but as you say - you actually download them from an available list of movies (in a protected format from what I can understand)

So last nite before bed I set it away downloading 4 movies and all of them were waiting for me this moring - lol - watch I, Robot straight away.

Wifey is not best pleased however, something was said along the lines of "Why not have a toilet and fridge installed - then you only need that room and the garage !!!"

Cant understand what she means - just keeping up to date with technology :devil:

Cheers - Frank

ps - My 'TV out' card might come in handy after all :lol::lol::lol:

I don't think Sky are covering BSB this year as ITV have spent some dosh and nabbed it.
