We've got a lot of time for Sky Player. Many hours, in fact. Not only does it make your Sky package available to you over the Internet, it's also integrated into both Windows Media Center and the Xbox 360 dashboard. Until now, live channels have been rather limited, but yesterday Sky launched Sky One as a streaming TV service, and today announced that Sky Movies Premiere and Sky Movies Showcase will be added later this month.

Sky also promises more channels will be arriving on the live-streaming Sky Player service soon. Both Living and Bravo are signed up to get involved.

Sky Player subscriptions cost around £15 a month for the entertainment-only pack that includes Sky One. If you want everything, expect to pay around £41 a month for movies, sport and entertainment. Quite a wodge of cash for a Web-streaming service, but also an excellent way to see Sky if you can't have a satellite dish for some reason. Existing subscribers to Sky can use the service for free, up to their current subscription level.
