Want to watch Sky but don’t want a dish? Sky has just launched “Sky Player TV”. This is a subscription service that lets you get access to some of Sky’s live channels plus on-demand content from a computer without needing a satellite dish.
Channels include Sky News, Disney, Eurosport and the Sky Sports channels. More channels will be added soon. Sadly, no Sky 1 as yet though. The service is free to existing Sky customers with Mutiroom, or Broadband Max, otherwise packages are from £15 a month.
The new Sky Player TV service uses Microsoft’s Silverlight, and runs on both PC and Mac.
