Sky Anytime Service to Launch in Germany

MUNICH: Sky Deutschland is launching the Sky Anytime service to its customers in Germany, enabling subscribers to watch selected movies, sports and entertainment programs whenever they choose.

The service requires a Sky+ HD hard disc receiver, but not an Internet connection. Sky Anytime is offered at no additional cost for all customers with Sky+. Customers can also order pay-per-view hits on Sky Select and watch them immediately, at any time. The Sky Anytime service launches in Germany in August.

Marcello Maggioni, the executive VP of the customer group at Sky Deutschland, said: “With Sky Anytime we present another innovation that enables our customers to enjoy the best of their Sky program anytime they want. Sky+ meets the requirements for future TV—and Sky Anytime takes this service to the next level. The launch of Sky Anytime marks another great step in delivering a better TV service to our customers, interpreting and often anticipating their wishes.”
