When I first heard of this, I was unsure on how good it would be. I have sky player on my laptop, and to be honest, didn't think much of it. Downloads took ages, when they started properly, in fact, I don't think I've actually managed to watch anything completely on sky player.
However, I have recently been using Xbox Live, and have been watching the streaming video clips they have available on there. I am impressed with the quality and speed - no hiccups that you would normally see with streaming video.
Could Sky and Xbox Live have a winning formula? I hope so. There is one really cool feature, when you are watching a football match, that allows your avatar to invite up to 7 friends to watch the match with you. Not only that, but by using the Xbox headset, you can talk to each other while you are all connected.
Pricing is still to be set and this service is due to be released in the Autumn of 2009.
