Microsoft have teamed up with Sky to offer Xbox LIVE users the chance to watch Sky TV channels on their Xbox 360.
“Our customers have told us that they want the opportunity to use their consoles as a way to access TV and once again Xbox has pulled off an entertainment first with amazing content and rich interactive experience.” Neil Thompson, Head of Xbox UK and Ireland, said. “The combination of Sky’s leadership in content creation and aggregation and our own in creating a constantly evolving new generation of rich 360 entertainment experiences means we are one step closer to our goal of offering Xbox owners the best entertainment experiences out there, whether it’s movies, music, games, interactive experiences or high quality TV.”
