'Is technically possible'.

ps3slimpluscontroller - Sky Player on PS3 'may happen in...

Sky Player, launched this week on the Xbox 360, may come to the PS3, according to Sky.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com, Sky's director of On Demand Griff Parry said: "It [Sky Player on PS3] may very well happen in the future."

The battle lines have been drawn in the war for console-owning TV watchers.

Sony's PS3 currently offers access to the BBC's iPlayer for free. The Sky Player is available to Xbox LIVE Gold subscribers who also have a Sky subscription.

When asked if Sky was actively trying to make available the Sky Player on PS3, Parry replied: "I can talk generally about our desire to extend to any device that supports a good quality experience to project the content. The PS3 is clearly a device where that is possible. And so it may very well happen in the future. Having said that, we're very happy to be working with Xbox for the time being."

We could get rid of TV aerials and satellite dishes altogether and just have a console (or two) sitting under our TV's hooked up to the internetz. Report Reply

pblive	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post All of them work on PS3, or should, through the browser. Since getting rid of Sky and stopping giving them stupid amounts of money I've been far happier with Freesat HD instead and the online services from the main channels if I need to catch up anything that I didn't already record. There's too much on Freesat for me to watch without paying for anything else. Report Reply

Had to buffer a couple of times and there was a few minutes delay between the TV feed and the 360 feed but no major complaints. Quality was like watching a good internet feed. Report Reply
