• Wonder if I can get a 1-day refund for XBox Live Gold Posted by GK, UK
• At GK prob not as there are other things to do on Xbox Live than get ripped off by sky. Posted by MM, UK
• What makes me laugh is it costs about the same for a Sky+HD basic package as it will for the bottom xbox 360 sky package.. An ad that showed on this blog.
  "ADS BY GOOGLE
  Sky TV, Broadband & Calls Get all three for £18.50 a month. £25 voucher on some combinations. www.sky.com"
  The picture will be inferior to sky+hd to.
  What a rip off! Posted by B00, UK
• Could you please publish correct information, Sky channels are only available if you have broadband max or sky multiroom. Otherwise you have to fork out another £9.75 a month for the xbox live version so that makes it £337 a year. Posted by J Ball, UK

  Sorry J your wrong you only need broadband max or sky multiroom if you want to watch Sky tv as it is shown live you can use the Sky Player service with just the basic Sky package and Gold XBL. (what you get is Sky's take on Iplayer) Posted by me to, UK
• The whole thing is a shambles if you ask me. There just werent enough research into it coz ms didnt wanna dip into theyre deep pockets again. ms are pissing me off now with theyre money making tactics, i mean are they not rich enough the money grabbing gits. Posted by Dean, UK
• i already have it on my xbox 360 and tried it out over night picture quality is very average no way will i spend the money on it after 1 month free trial expires Posted by paul, uk
• Its cool i have max broadband so i get it all free. Its better then the sky box i have on the tv Posted by Ian, Staffs
• what a bag of pants. I think everyone should be severly reprimanded for such stupid mistakes. Sky player wont effect me even when it is actually available as trying to stream a video from my xbox360 dashboard is an utter waste of time in the first place due to our terrible connection Posted by rick, uk
• Can someone please tell me who this is aimed at? why would anybody want it over sky on a regular sky box or sky +? Posted by kev, uk
• does anyone know an accurate time it will be back on the spotlight section? Posted by aaron, uk
• @Kev,
  
  It's aimed at people that can't get a Satellite dish on their home or who want Sky in a second room. It's also a cheaper entry point than installing the Sky Box.

• As i understand it you need sky multiroom to watch the live television on your sky package on the xbox which is a load of BS
  
  may as well just get another sky box Posted by anon, canada
• I was led to believe this will only give you 7 or so channel, not all the channels in your sky package. Is this correct? Posted by Aff, UK
• i have sky full package multiroom and broadband already, so get the lot free on the xbox, which is in a different room so will be pleased when this is all running smoothly! any more idea of a date for the 2nd launch? Posted by anon, uk
