i got multiroom 2 years ago and now have it on the xbox, but is really glitchy as it keeps on disconnecting and going to dashboard
but then sometimes my internet goes for a second or so.
anyone else got this problem? |

AHH we havent got multi-room. The impression at first was that if you at least have Sky and a gold membership its would be free... which sounded good to me. But then they mess it up :(
Come on Microsoft!!! Disappointed
Rumours of Live membership doubling is a little concerning too... if they do that then they'll throw away everything they have managed to achieve so far.... |

i posted this elsewhere, but ill just copy and paste.
visit the Xbox website and click on the sky player link. they have offer codes at the moment.
3 months for the price of 2 – CODE: XBOX3FOR2
1 month free for existing sky sub – Code:XBOX1MONTHFREE
expires: 05/02/2010
enter these on the sky player website when choosing your package.

For all the people currently experiencing problems with Sky Player its because there is a fault on the Sky Player Services...theres a thread about it on Xbox UK Forums.
Sky are trying to solve the problem and should fix it by the end of the day, even the sky player main website login is down...the people who got it to work are lucky.
I download Sky Player first thing this mourning, saw the interface then got the error/s - now just reloaded up xbl dashboard and i dont even see the Sky Player on video marketplace...and aload of new movie content is added but when you click on it it says "content not available" - movies such as Star Trek (latest one). |

It has to make you laugh because you can get Sky HD with all channels for £44.25 a month with free box and dish.
you can check out the list here http://packages.sky.com/offers/mostpopular/.
I even reckon you could get the £30 installation for free if you asked nicely.
Why would anyone get it on the 360 when you could get it in HD and for less from Sky. Come on they really haven't thought this one through have they! |

@76
You may have sky one the tele downstairs and the broadband on a desktop somewhere else. The 360 could be in another bedroom and thus this allows sky in another place. You raise a good point though, the amount of sky broadband and/or multiroom users who will get any practical use out of this is very minimal. I have a pc in my room where the 360 is and my pc is hooked up to the tele so this isn't that much use. And the fact that the 360 makes more heat and noise than my pc will make me choose that the pc anyway. I will only use this for football mathces as i have some friends who can get it also so we can chat whilst watching. |

| the only way anyone can justify buying this is if they dont have sky in the first place... but even then its only better for 10 - 11 months cause you dont have to pay for the digibox or installation which if i remember rightly is about £100? but then again you dont all the channels do you =( bad move MS, and whats this about possible doubling of the XBL price? theres no way they can justify £80 for a year sub. can they? |

so what do you get if you have sky tv but not multiroom or sky broadband. Do you still get the on-demand programmes. As it said
"Customers with Sky Multiroom or Sky Broadband Unlimited subscriptions are additionally able to access live channels for no extra charge"
so do you get the on-demand free if you have sky tv and live gold? |

| Well what did everyone expect, it is Microsoft after all. This is the same company who charge £19.99 for games on demand, when you can go down the shops and buy them for about 5 quid each!! |

Yeah the prices are ridiculous but I didn't expect to get it to free.
I challenge all those saying 'Microsoft said this would be free' to provide me with a link where they actually said that.
I'll eat my words if you can.

| MS+360+Sky= Blaaaah RIP-OFF!! PS3+BBCiplayer=FREE!! (Yes i own both systems before anybody has a go) What's the point in us gamers being charged more for another pointless service [Facebook,Twitter and Zune included] My 360 is a GAMES console NOT a multi this and that, wash the dishes, hoover the floor, make my bed system! Does anybody from MS actually read these posts? If they did, surely they would see that the majority of us gamers don't give a f**k about the Sky player rip off! Blaaaah!! |

| I just want to point out that it's actually way more than likely it's Sky that are making the prices high rather than Microsoft. MS would want it as cheap as possible as it's another reason for people to buy a 360 over a PS3 (imagine the marketing advantage if they could say you get Sky TV with this console for only £10 a month!) but Sky aren't going to allow a service there making great money off currently just be given away for peanuts via a different system, everyone would just cancel their subscription and start getting it a lot cheaper through there 360's! This is why as soon as it was announced i knew it was pointless hoping for it too be cheaper. |

| Anyone thats fucking crying because this costs is a moron. You think because you own a 360 you'd get sky for free? You have to be a fucking idiot. If that was the case us sky payers would cancel our payments and all put a 360 in the living room. |

HOLY F***IN ASSCRACKERS!
I just did a quick cram of those numbers (since I'm an ignorant American who only deals in USD) and that's like 80+ bucks a month! Or $40-somethin for just the weakest one!
Where has Microsoft's mind gone?!?! After they want me to pay triple price on Games On Demand for things I could get at Walmart or GameStop for $10, then *this*?!
How, exactly, do they plan on making money with these? I'm no econ major, but this seems waaay out of wack. |

Why can people, 'cough up a fiver'
its a total rip-off. go watch it where the box is, i'd rather keep the money, and get off my arse when I wanted to watch sky and go to the room its at. even worse if your xbox is through the same TV as sky. just 1 buton and you have it for no extra cost! |

@132
im confused by your question (i assume youre quoting me)
i cant watch it where the box is cause everyone else in the house takes over that room, also sky multiroom is £10 a month, whereas ms is offering it for 5 a month and you dont have to buy another box. it IS a ripoff, but i can deal with that. |

| It's nothing more than a JOKE. There's not a cat in Hell's chance I'll pay those prices. I wouldn't mind if I didn't already pay for everything I use on Xbox Live. But this, this is abominable. I would only use Sky Sports, but why pay that when I could so easily go to the pub and buy a drink with the money I would use on MS??????? |

| Well judging from all the add-ons like twitter and facebook and skyplayer, and the serious lack of decent games lately and coming up in the near future, it makes me wonder if MicroSoft are actually turning the Xbox away from being a gaming console and turning it into a family entertainment system instead. What a horrendous thought but I can see it happening. |
