Sky anytime plus

Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:57 pm

If you've got a sky plus HD box here is a tip for you. Sky has removed the restriction on sky anytime plus, previously you had to be a sky broadband customer as a requirement to use it. That has changed

Connect your Internet router to your sky hd box using an Ethernet cable, then phone sky and ask them to switch on your 'anytime plus'

This opens a world of tv and films, basically all the sky series' such as Game of thrones, sopranos, Touch etc etc as well as any film that been on Sky movies that month are archived for download.

It's a brilliant service to be fair. Get it on lads, it doesn't cost you anytime more on your sky package (although it might cost you extra on your broadband if you decide to download 3000000 series' of something :o )

you need to connect your internet box to the sky, if you dont use an ethernet cable sky can sort it out for you a dif way but they need to send an engineer to your house to sort at a cost of around 50 quid upwards. the ethernet cable is the easiest way as long as your sky box is not to far from your internet..

they are usually a yellow cable , but we hide ours under the carpet so it cant be seen.

do they do extensions for the ethernet cable? so that i can have it going all the way round the room?

Mine never stays on Anytime Plus it often reverts to normal anytime and shows that the serve has failed in the network setup. Numerous calls to Sky have failed to resolve it.

I reckon they are no happy that I won't take up their poor broadband service. :D
