Lost on Anytime? - Sky Anytime TV

beecher · 31-01-2008, 14:31

Anyone know if Season 4 is likely to appear on Anytime? And if so is it likely to appear on Sunday night/Monday morning, or any chance of it appearing earlier? It'd be great to watch it ad free - what happened during season 3? (didn't have Sky HD then)

derek500 · 31-01-2008, 16:07

I expect it to come before its showing on Sky One.

The fact they sent the final two episodes from season three, leaves me hopeful.

I don't mind the ads if they're put in the spaces provided by ABC. But apart from the first one before the opening credits, they always seem to cut into the programme at the wrong times!!

KeiranW · 31-01-2008, 21:20

Hopefully it will be on Anytime (Heres hoping

). But even if they dont, As mentioned, If they place the adverts in the assigned slots, Then all is fine.

Jarrak · 31-01-2008, 21:36

The first episode is scheduled for Anytime but beyond that I have no idea.

davemurgatroyd · 01-02-2008, 00:04

It is almost certain that the whole series will NOT be on Anytime - just think about it, its a prime time show with a pretty large audience, do you really think that they would take an almost certain significant cut in advertising revenue and broadcast a whole series from a normal mix channel advert free on Anytime - get real.

corinnescott27 · 01-02-2008, 12:03

to davemurgatroyd with sky anytime you have to subscribe to the channel to enable you watch it, like i dont take sports channel so anytime wont let me watch them

Well, they did with season 3....

confirmed. I think this is really good. Anytime may not be up too much when compared to VMs VOD but at least Sky can say they offer it on demand before broadcast. Vm cannot.

beecher · 01-02-2008, 15:31

That's good news

Thanks for that link

Spoctor Dooner · 02-02-2008, 11:45

Just tried to watch the new episode that downloaded last night and, on my box at least, it is virtually unwatchable as the sound and picture are completely out of synch.

scofield · 02-02-2008, 11:49

I can confirm too, got the first eppie, on anytime this Morn

Will watch after the ruggers

jamesila · 02-02-2008, 11:56

Friends of ours also said there's was out of synch. They phoned Sky and were told that it was a universal problem with the download.

However, I've just tried ours and it's in synch. Only difference is that we've got Sky HD.

KeiranW · 02-02-2008, 12:09

For those whos +'s are out of Sync, What Make do you have? As we have two Paces and they seemed fine (is it out of Sync all the way through or in certain parts? as I only quickly checked a few seconds in and the last few seconds) oh and the HDs are fine too.

ukool · 02-02-2008, 12:33

myne was out of sync so i stopped it, now its gone from my anytime, dont know why

Kenny Maclean · 02-02-2008, 13:27

Hopefully it'll be getting re-sent correctly later

beecher · 02-02-2008, 13:51

Mine is fine on HD - watched up to the Lost logo. Does the synch get lost after that point?

Very hard to stop but must wait til friend comes over tomorrow......

Red Arrow · 02-02-2008, 14:43

It's not up there for me

It is apparant that there was a problem with the SD variation of the Anytime download and has since been pulled. It is still available on HD boxes.

reece1605 · 02-02-2008, 16:22

Have Sky HD here and the download (as seen in previous posts) was fine, completely in sync, all the way through (watched from begining to end).

Definately proves its an SD problem only (people without HD).

Excellent episode, wets the appetite!
Adds tons more of questions, but in a good way.

davemurgatroyd · 02-02-2008, 16:33

Disappeared for me but another item "Losi in 8'15" has appeared - an 8 minute recap of series 1 toi 3?????

corinnescott27 · 02-02-2008, 18:36

i noticed that too that it was there this morning but gone when i went to watch it later

Gemz87uk · 02-02-2008, 19:23

We have an HD box but no HD subscription any more, so I can't watch the last two episodes of S3 (which don't appear to be on Sky like the rest of the season have been the past few weeks).
And now I find I can't watch any of it on HD, but if we had a standard box then I could?

They seem to make no sense at all...

beecher · 02-02-2008, 19:30

Does seem really unfair if people with a Sky HD box but no HD sub are not getting a version they can watch. Is that what happens with the movie channels too - do you get copies of the premieres only in HD and so can't watch them?

It sounds like a cock-up rather than a conspiracy
