xbox 360 & Sky Player

[Jay]

Anyone using it?

I don't have Sky, but you can pay £15 to use Sky Player or £1 to 'rent' a movie etc from it and just wondering what the score is? How well does it buffer the content, and you replay the movie after you've watched it? is there a time limit to watch/rewatch movies?

I have it and use it, but i am a sky customer anyway.

No idea about the costing side, but connection wise I've never had any problems buffering as long as your not got a download program running. (bittorrent etc)

as said before, also sky customer and its free to watch the films (probably 400odd on there) and buffers just fine 

No idea about replay etc as i can do it as many times as i want

It can be slow at times and quality is pish for a lot of things thats just my opinion but i watch mostly HD rips so i compare it to that

so the movies are mostly in SD rather than HD?

[admc6]

I think SD but on a HDTV, but to me, they look sharp enough.

i dont have sky but my sister does, would i be able to use her account on my xbox?? if so what would she need to give me (detail wise)?

[admc6]

Yes you could. She should have a sky ID, you need that and her password for it. Easy as anything to set up and you only need to do it once.
BTW you do need a gold account on xbox to use it.

They are barely standard def either they are scaled down a lot to avoid lag and buffering issues! but some folk might not notice but compared to even std sky its crap maybe on a smaller screen its diff but on the 55 its gash i tested it a few times in comparison to the hd and std doesnt even compare!

For movies I just rent stuff off xbox live in HD which is pretty good picture wise. I also rent stuff from iTunes and stream to my telly from my laptop but iTunes HD is only 720p.
