Oh, you need to be a $ky broadband service user and need to be a $ky HD subscriber to use this. With no HD on demand content available...

Ok, lets correct you on a few points.
1. yes, at launch you need to subscribe to Sky Broadband - this is however a temporary measure so they can iron out any problems strictly within their own Broadband system.
Once any problems are sorted, they do intend to roll it out to other ISP's.
2. You do NOT need to be a Sky HD subscriber to view the content, as at Launch virtually all of the content on the 'Anytime +' service will be SD - you will (possibly) however only be able to watch anytime+ programmes/content according to your relevant viewing mix.
3. There WILL of course still be the HD content on the 'Anytime' section, which does require an HD sub and relevant viewing mix, to watch it.

How do I feel about this as a Sky subscriber - not too bothered about it either way, really. I see Anytime and Anytime+ as additional bonus content, as Sky charge no extra sub for them. Of course what you can watch depends on your viewing pack and HD sub, but there will be a lot of content available that I can still watch, once it launches, should I wish to.
I would ask why you started a discussion about Sky Anytime+ here, a BT Vision forum, rather than the general IPTV forum, or the Sky Forum??
PS: I see the 'S' key on your keyboard is beginning to play up, like some other posters!
