    Skyplayer on the Xbox is done by the ID that's signed in, so yes, you'll have it even if you aren't using it at home.
    Not sure if ESPN is one of the live stations? but if you have it now, you'll have it there.

    Whatever channels you get on your Sky Package you should get on Sky Player, provided they're available.

    Also, anyone notice Bravo's been shut down? Off the air after 26 years i believe. Kinda sucks because it was one of the best for random goodness when there was nowt else to watch on the basic package.

    I think they've also removed Discovery Channel from the Sky Player, pretty sure it was there also :mad:

    I am open to correction on this but i dont think you even need to bring your xbox, you can recover your gamertag on your brothers xbox and access the sky player through your account, maybe bring your xbox just in case but good to know for the future :)

    You will see it on your bill unless you cancel your subscription for skyplayer

    (What I said about the bill is true but if it was extended im not so sure about that if it is.. enjoy!:D)

    AFAIK Sky player can only be registered on one xbox and therefore will not work on another.

    If someone buys a new xbox then you'd need to go into Sky Player website and go into admin settings and manage devices and delete old xbox!

    Hmm i must try this at home again i am nearly certain it worked with a friends gamertag on my xbox (he recovered it to mine) it would still be one xbox being used just different accounts will be interesting to know actually
