Sky Anytime on Virgin

I've only just realised that VM catchup includes Sky Anytime so, I thought I'd see if I could watch "Prisoners of War" but it's a bit odd - only two episodes are available, e2 and e5, and they have different "end dates" (e2 availability ends after e5!!).

How is it supposed to work? Can Sky subscribers see the full series?

All the episodes have been available (in both SD and HD) on Sky's own version of Anytime+ but currently episodes 3,4,5 and 6 are available until 23/6, 30/6, 7/7 and 14/7 respectively. It's my favourite show right now!

Do you have an older Sky+ HD box? I have the current issued box (although it's well over a year old) and the new EPG and the menus and UI are very fast indeed, in fact they could barely be any faster really.

On my TiVo box episodes 3 , 4 and 6 are available in both SD and HD , Episode 5 is only available in SD. No idea why episode 5 is not available in HD.

On VM's online player, eps 1,2,4,5,6 are available, so I've resorted to torrenting e3.

But it is bl@@dy good.

When I had Sky, their Anytime+ content was always sporadic - as a Curb Your Enthusiasm fan, it was a pain to find they'd only save the first five episodes of the first season.

I have never seen Curb Your Enthusiasm on Anytime+?

All recent episodes of Prisoners Of War were available on Sky both through the TV and online.

Only HD through the TV of course.
