We already know how popular Sky+ is and how it puts customers back in charge of their TV viewing. Anytime+ builds on that control and it&rsquo;s no wonder we&rsquo;ve seen such strong demand for it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">&quot;Sky Anytime+ will go from strength to strength in 2012 and we are delighted that the addition of the BBC iPlayer and ITV Player will allow customers to also enjoy the best of terrestrial TV, whenever they want.
