Sky by broadband application
Right, signed upto "Sky by broadband".
This allows you to download movies off sky on the net but i can't find the "Sky by broadband application " it says i need to download the movies.
Anyone done this yet and where did you download it from as i've been looking for a good 30 mins now
Thanks Adam

tried that 
did you have to download a software program and then run it from your desktop?
From what i understand it should have asked me on the sign up to download the "skybybroadband" program and it should now be on my desktop.
Is it a file you could e-mail me?
Do you have to put your username etc into it and then press go?

If you go to the Sky homepage there is a link on there to Sky by Broadband. You have to download the software to run it and I just did what I said above. I actually downloaded the software ages ago and haven't used it, but when I clicked on the shortcut on my desktop, for some reason it wouldn't work so I downloaded it again. Haven't found it particularly quick, though!

I downloaded it straight from the sky website.
clicky
Used it twice and wasn't impressed, they of course copyright everything you download and give you 28 days to watch it then it's gone.
The client they use that runs in the background to download the stuff is painfully slow i'm on 2mb broadband and a 800mb file took almost a day, thats without the fact that the programme itself kept crashing. Lost count of how many times it asked if i wanted to send a report to Microsoft
So i gave in and uninstalled it only to find that the client software doesn't install when you click uninstall sky by broadband, there is no uninstall option for the download client. It was still on my pc happily contacting sky broadcasting according to my firewall.
Wasn't impressed myself
