Hi
Does anybody know when Skyplayer is coming to Fetch TV? Last time I heard about it it was meant to start Q1 2010.

Internet searches seem to suggest July 2010 and that the new User Interface upgrade will be made available for the 7000 and 8000 Smartboxes.

Discounted prices on the http://www.johnlewis.com/ and http://www.fetchtv.co.uk/ websites eg £100 and £180. John Lewis offers a 3-year warranty cover as an extra option.

The software upgrades in April helped with some EPG display and recording problems.

Just for files, photos and links.

The Fetch TV website offers a Fetch TV News email newsletter option.

Ebay sales of these Smartboxes will vary in price based on new or secondhand or shopping website returns.

The shopping tv websites lowered their prices and then stopped selling them and they haven't been sold even as web exclusives or in their outlet stores.

There have been problems with the BBC iPlayer service.

If recording loads of shows, try the pre-formatted Freecom XS 1 TB external USB drive from Amazon or play.com eg £70 to £80, otherwise Ebay sellers using your paypal account, just in case.

This morning Skyplayer arrived at Fetch Tv. Unfortunately without Sky 1 or the movies. But now it is possible to watch Sky Arts, Real lives, GOLD, NAtGeo, NG wild, Eden and the History channel live plus MTV, lots for Kids and the Sky Sports bundle.

Sky Player now has movies but still no Sky 1, ESPN or ESPN Classic.

Curiously, I get all the movie channels even though I'm not subscribed to them and they don't work when I use the online service.
