I was happy to find this info out earlier hahah! Seems my mate Crit was also happy with the announcement:
British broadcaster Sky has struck a deal with Microsoft that will see live football, TV and film content brought to the Xbox 360.
The deal marks the Xbox’s first move into live linear broadcast TV.
Rival consoles, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii, can access catch-up TV content via the BBC’s iPlayer.
Sky’s channels will be available on the Xbox 360 from the autumn, but no specific line-up or pricing details have been given.
Users of Microsoft’s Xbox Live online service on the 360 in the UK and Ireland will be able to watch Sky’s live sport, programmes, catch-up TV and on demand films, without the need for a satellite dish or set-top box, or to be an existing Sky customer.
More of this on the BBC WEBSITE
My Xbox will get even more use then, altho it’s been neglected lately.
Was over the moon last night as I managed to move my car. Was walking home, and bumped into Chris Chamberlain who lives opposite, and we got chatting, and he said if I had any jump-leads he’d try and help get my motor started. No sooner had he connected them, the good old Integra was roaring back into action. Took it for a bit of a drive, and once I got home I left it an hour, Bagi nipped round for half an hour, and then I tried it again and it’s working fine. Worked first time this morning too, so hopefully if I can give it a regular outing, rather than just home ~> Work ~> Home then it’ll be running fine. *Fingers crossed anyway*
Hmm.. gekish is not bad. It’s kinda sexy too… *wink*
