Sky Launches Video-on-Demand Service
Sky has introduced a free video-on-demand service that will store up to 30 hours of week-ahead programmes, movies and music highlights on a Sky HD set-up box.
Called
Anytime On TV, uses space on the HDD inside the set-top box, which is not
accessible for recording, to store a range of programmes that Sky viewers might
want to see and add to their regular schedule of things to record. 
The content
is added to a user’s service overnight and they will have up to seven days to
view the programmes or add them to their planner. Newer programmes will be
added after that period, replacing older ones.
The service is only available to Sky HD customers for now but the broadcaster said it will roll it out to all Sky+ customers with newer set-top boxes. There will be an option for other customers, not subscribing to premium channels, to pay for certain programmes they see on the service.
Programmes, which will be in high defintion (HD) where possible, will come from a variety
of channels including Sky One, Sky Movies, Sky Arts, National Geographic, Sky
Sports, Disney, Biography and others.
