[dolphen11]

are irish viewers going to get access to anytime +

Yes by Easter but some people are saying it could be next week.

Hi All, 

I just wanted to clarify that Anytime+ will be running out to other ISP by Easter, however customers in the ROI will not be able to receive Anytime+.

Thanks, 

[dolphen1]

why is that surely if we have anytime why is it not possible to have anytime +

[caesarome]

Anytime comes via your dish, Anytime+ comes via a internet connection.

Typical Sky horse manure.  Second class customers is what they treat us like.  Once the contract is up I am gone.

And the reason is????

Can you give me a definitive answer as to why Irish viewers  are not included in the roll out of anytime+ to all isp's.

I've been fobbed off with everything from lack of postcodes to lack of permission of Irish service providers.

These reasons do not make any sense unless the service is geo blocked & someone forgot that there are half a million viewers in Ireland.

Any help would be apreciated.

Real disappointment that Anytime+ can't be received here. It's a pity as I've the box linked up and 24mb broadband has just been rolled out here. Hopefully the position might be reviewed as it would be very handy.

Absolutely ridiculous that ROI will be excluded.

Hi All,

We believe in continual improvement across all our products, as the announcement illustrates. We’re investigating ways to extend content rights and Sky Anytime+ access to ROI - but have no more announcements to make at this time.

Thanks,

Thank you for the update, but can you please explain the issue with content rights? I understand there are restrictions for bbc, itv, but anytime plus is already available to Irish customers via pc... So I can't understand why the same content (with higher quality/hd) cannot be downloaded/streamed via the skybox instead? Please explain why?

Sky Anytime + was first announced in June 2010. Must be the longest investigation in Sky's history.Maybe Sky News should have done the investigating.

Can we have an explanation as to why we won't be receiving this? We pay enough money in multi-room fee's and subscription charges.

I'm able to watch anytime via my laptop connected to my television without issue, so why cant I have this via my Sky+ HD box?
