Had a phone call this morning and found this site via google.
Have read the first 5 pages of this forum and thought I might as well ask some questions.

The lady who called seemed to infer that I would get the same package I get with sky for a cheaper price. As I get the full monty from sky including all the sports and movie channels I thought it may be worth thinking about. She said that Setanta sports was also included free of charge.
From reading this forum, it would seem that sky sports 1 and 2 and the movie channels are not included. Is this correct??
Basically she knew I was a Sky subscriber and she asked if I had broadband to which I replied that I had. I didn't say that my broadband and telephone were through Virgin Media, originally Telewest.
She said that the service would be connected to my modem, and as we have multiroom through Sky, the engineers would connect the televisions in the lounge and bedroom, there being a cost for the set top box in the lounge ( I think it was £69) to replace my Sky+, and a free set top box to replace the one in the bedroom.
So do they run cables from the computer room to the lounge and bedroom through the house or round the outside?? I don't want unsightly cables all over the place. I don't suppose the connections could be wireless?

Lack of information is the hallmark of Play TV's operation so far. I don't think anyone here could answer your question about cabling and frankly I would be surprised if anyone at Play TV could either.

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say their service is user-installed in any case, so any cabling required would go wherever you wanted to put it.

But as others have already said, I would re-read this entire thread very carefully if I were you, before deciding whether to sign up with them.
