As Lostthe plot says, it ain't no VOD service! It's OK, but the only channels' content you get are Sky owned ones, such as sports, movies (and only if you subscribe) and then Sky Arts, Nat Geo, Sky One, etc. I think they also have some Discovery Channel and Disney stuff too.

TBH, I switched it off, there's not much the personally appeals to my viewing habits on Sky Anytime, but everyone is different... I figured I might make the hard drive last a little longer if Anytime is off...but who knows?

But I tend to use the Sky+ facility a bit like VOD, in that I will have a trawl through the guides, spot something that could be great or could be dreadful and whack it on record. When I have nothing to watch I will see what's there.

That's how I found Grand Designs....I normally boycott all housey type programmes, but stuck it on one day and now I'm hooked (sad I know!)

Anyway...there's some listings about what's on Anytime TV...prepare to be underwhelmed by the choice http://anytime.sky.com/tv.aspx
