Does Sky Anytime + come down the phone line??

[john1000000boy]

Wondering about this for a while.

I get Anytime but not Anytime +

Oh and, Can i plug my hd box into a Belkin N router > Devolo home plug > Sky Broadband > Sky Talk.

Currently my HD box is not connected via phone line so would the above work??

Thanks in advance

John

No, Anytime+ uses a broadband connection (though of course Skys broadband service is ADSL, and comes down your phoneline)

Yes

Bare in mind getting Anytime+ is dependent on whether your Sky+HD box has had the f/w upgrade/capable of being upgraded.

Are these updates available to download??

Doesnt seem to be a lot of info on it on the SKY website

Go to Skys Anytime+ page >>> http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/anytime-plus/get-it-now/ and try to activate it, if it's not available to you it will tell you.

Are these updates available to download??

No, they're rolled out/pushed to your box by Sky.

Some via broadband (true ondemand), some over the air.

- Connect your phonelines broadband connection into your skyrouter.

- Connect the skyrouter to the WAN port on your belkin router (with homeplugs inbetween if u wish).

- Set the ip address of the skyrouter to be 192.168.1.1 and turn off dhcp on the sky router.

- On the belkin set the ip to 192.168.1.2 and set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1
