    Sky Store brings 1000+ on-demand movies to Sky Anytime+ 8 Mar 2012 Sky has expanded its pay-per-view movie offering for customers with Sky Anytime+. The new Sky Store replaces Sky Box Office and has over 1000 films available to watch on-demand. SD movies start at just 99p, rising to £3.99 for blockbuster new movies in HD. Sky also confirmed that Sky Anytime+ will be available to all Sky customers from Easter - a Sky Broadband subscription will no longer be required. Sky Anytime+ delivers a wide range of on-demand content for free as well as offering pay-per-view films. Sky is at pains to point out that its pay-per-view movies, via the new Sky Store if you're an Anytime+ customer, are cheaper than iTunes and Lovefilm in many instances. New releases are £3.49, library movies are £1.99 and special offers are 99p. HD films rather than SD will cost 50p more. Sky Box Office will continue as the place for non-Sky Anytime+ customers to choose from a more limited range of the latest movies on the live channels from £3.49 per title. All Sky TV customers meanwhile can rent movies on a pay-per-view basis from the new Sky Store on laptops via the Sky Go application, which already has a Sky Movies application, too.

  • platform capable
  • the scheduler is the leading tastemaker.
  • iPlayer does a fine job of satisfying the time-shifted desires
  • BBC schedulers create the desire to watch a programme; iPlayer lets you see it at a time that's convenient to you
  • what if you no longer watched linear TV? Who becomes the tastemaker then?
  • largely theoretical problem
  • iPlayer home page that feels almost more like an application than a traditional web site
  • in the world of YouTube where there is no master scheduler who can shape demand.
  • clear evidence that linear TV created the demand while iPlayer satisfied it.
  • wanted it to become a driver of demand, s
  • The question then is, in a world which cannot be driven by schedulers
  • if schedulers are going to be augmented by your friends as drivers of consumption in the future, the challenge for the team was to integrate friends and social into the iPlayer
