The next Xbox 360 dashboard update will arrive next month.

The October issue of Sky Magazine states that the Sky Player will be available to download on the console. A web address linked from the publication contains the month of release in the URL.

The service will be accessible for Xbox Live Gold members, but only Sky subscribers with the relevant movie and sports packages will be able to access premium content.

As well as live television, it will share features with the PC version of the player, allowing the availability of movies and on-demand content.

The update will also be expected to include social networking functionality, including Facebook and Twitter.

bumping this even though you said i can..

my tv upstairs has no link to our sky box..and i lll still be able to do it? do i just have to enter some of our subscription to sky details into it??

[Scarlett.]

I'm not sure yet

You get it free if you have Sky Multiroom OR use Sky Broadband
If you use normal Sky I think there is a 10ppm charge

[King Gizzard]

Well that sucks

:sad:

[Scarlett.]

Actually Sky Unlimited Broadband lol

I think there will be free stuff on there too though

[King Gizzard]

Only have sky+ for the lounge tv

[Scarlett.]
