Sky Player on Xbox 360

With the release of the Sky Player for Xbox later today, and I am interested to see what other Brits think of it. Is there really a point, since the chances are you have sky on the same TV? For me it depends on the choice of movies and TV series available on - demand  -  a Netflix-like service on this side of the pond would be excellent and long overdue. Also, I only have around 5.5 Mb/sec connection,  my personal viewing experience may be sorely compromised.  
 
So what have ben your experiences with it thus far?

You smacked it god-damn straight in the middle, bro.

i'd heard on radio one its not launched- or has had problems, just got home from work and turned on 360, i have no update :\ any word on when it's due?

I have Sky at home already. The only real advantage for me is being able to watch while I'm working if need be.  I can take my harddrive into my studio and not miss anything important now. I hope. 

I don't have Sky so if this is a way I can do a one-off payment for a football match I want to watch in full HD then I'm quite looking forward to it.

I'm a uni student, getting actual sky isn't an option, I imagine alot of other students think the same, it all depends on what it does though for me to pay.

I can't find it, how do I actually use Sky on the 360 then?

It's far too expensive for the standard packages, but if you're already a Sky subscriber it might be useful.  I personally plan on making use of the On Demand features occasionally, but as I'm sure others have said there really should be some kind of pay-per-view system as well, at least for movies and sports matches.

Here's a run down video, not a good one. but the best available so far: 
 
  

Sky rocks! I wouldn't want it on my Xbox though, since I tend to game and watch TV (or at least have it on) at the same time.

couldn't care less frankly

"The option to download it was added this morning then pulled due to many users getting a error message. i managed to get the player but it does not work as there is no menu for it :( "
