ANYTIME TV

Sky send a selection of programmes to a separate part of your hard disk for you to view if your subscription allows. These programmes may be film premiers, documentaries or topical issues and they remain on the HD box for 1 week unless you put them in your own planner.

Always worth a look if “there’s nothing on.”

ANYTIME PLUS

This is TV on demand. You must have the latest HD box, Sky’s phone service and their Broadband Unlimited.

The HD box must be connected to the Internet router via the ethernet port for the downloads. There may be set up charges but if the conditions above are met the service is free.
