Hi
I asked before but the player was new then. I'm wondering if anyone's found 
their way through the Sky Player which purports to play sky channels you may be 
subscribed to on your home computer. It also has a large back selection of 
programs you may have missed.
I signed up (getting through the password graphic stage with sighted help)
After this I can see much to play but although I'm logged in most of it seems 
to be chargeable. It doesn't seem too clear as to why it's not quite as simple 
as the BBC one, just click on download etc.
I did manage to get a sky news clip play and it worked fine, although there's 
no idea yet of keyboard shortcuts to navigate the file.
It does seem accessible, but finding something to watch at present is 
difficult, as far as I can see.
One other problem is that when I go to the watch live TV page to see the 
channels Internet Explorer gives me the 'Don't Send' button.
Hopefully someone else may have gone this way before and advise us of a clear 
path.
Regards.
Gordon McFarlane
