Sky Player in Windows Media Center Now Live

Sky Player in Windows Media Center Now Live:

A few weeks ago I reported about the Sky Player in Windows Media Center being announced at the Windows 7 press launch.


Well today, Sky Player is finally live and running.


If you launch Windows Media Center you will see it under TV.

If you click on it you will be prompted to install it.

It only takes a moment or two to download and install.

Then you can see everything :-)

There is the “usual” Sky TV guide you can view (and it is quicker than the new Sky TV guide on your box!)

If you are an existing Sky customer with either a broadband account or Sky Multiroom subscription this service is free, otherwise you have to pay for it.

So far I am quite impressed with it – I will use it for a few more days and comment again – so watch this space – or Sky on your Media Center.
