The BBC iPlayer and ITV Player TV catchup services are to be available to BSkyB subscribers for the first time via the Sky Anytime+ video-on-demand offering.
The catch-up TV services operated by the BBC and ITV will launch this year in Sky Anytime+, the video on-demand platform launched by Sky in 2011, which delivers content over an internet connection in Sky+ boxes rather than over satellite.
ITV shows such as Prime Suspect, Lewis and Cold Feet will be offered on Sky Anytime+ from tomorrow, Tuesday, 31 January, accessible through the main Sky Anytime+ menu, as well as a new dedicated ITV Player section.
The full ITV Player seven-day catchup service allowing access to the latest episodes of shows such as Coronation Street and Emmerdale will follow later in the year.
The BBC iPlayer will also be added to Sky Anytime+ later this year, giving Sky Anytime+ users access to the latest instalments of EastEnders. BBC archive content is already available on the VOD service via Sky's existing deal with UKTV.
Sky has been able to offer on-demand access to some BBC shows through its partnership with UKTV, the pay-TV joint venture between BBC Worldwide and US firm Scrips Networks interactive.
However, the broadcaster was unable to offer the full BBC iPlayer service due to a lack of agreement with the corporation over the process of syndication of on-demand content.
Sky is also extending the reach of Sky Anytime+ by making it available to all Sky+ HD homes with a broadband connection, across all internet service providers.
As a result more than 5 million Sky homes will soon be able to access the VoD service. Sky Anytime+ is currently available to 1.2 million Sky Broadband customers.
Notes for Spain:
Sky Anytime+ is only available on Sky+HD digiboxes.
Sky Anytime+ is not available for users using a Spanish IP internet address.
Sky Anytime+ is only available using a UK IP internet address.

ESPN Free Weekend February 2012
Premier League in your home for free for first time in 20 years as ESPN air Manchester City v Fulham on Freeview
Fans will be able to watch a Barclays Premier League match for free for the first time ever next month.
Broadcaster ESPN have announced that their flagship channel will be free-to-view over the weekend starting Friday, February 3.
As a result, people who just have basic Freeview, of which there around 10m in the United Kingdom, will be able to watch Fulham's trip to Manchester City on Saturday, February 4.
This will be the first time that a Premier League match has been made available for free.
Viewers will also be able to watch matches from Serie A and the Bundesliga, while basketball, tennis and UFC will also be screened during the four-day period.
"Millions of UK fans have already discovered the great range of great sport ESPN offers – from the Barclays Premier League to Serie A, to cricket, darts, motorsports and UFC," said ESPN vice president Jeroen Oerlemans.
"This is a great opportunity for us to introduce that to millions more and let them sample the programming ESPN has on offer."
The match will also be made available to BSkyB, BT Vision and Top Up TV customers, meaning that it has a potential audience of 20m. The game will be shown free to Virgin Media customers.
According to the Premier League, the previous record was 3.2m for last season’s game between Spurs and Manchester United. The highest recorded audience for a Premier League Match of the Day package was 5.49m in February last year, when viewers were drawn in by a record 41 goal haul that included Newcastle United’s 4-4 draw with Arsenal.
The game at the Etihad on Saturday 4 February will be the first Premier League game to be made available for viewing in homes with the basic Freeview package. But there is no guarantee of a bumper audience – many Freeview viewers have deliberately resisted the charms of the Premier League, which has been a key part of the BSkyB programming package.
The first live Premier League game was Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 win over Liverpool in August 1992. ESPN is broadcasting unencrypted for the whole of the first weekend in February, from Friday to Monday.
Nokia's new Lumia smart phone will sponsor the weekend.

Warning of Microsoft ‘broken computer’ scam .
And, floowing on from my last post (http://costablancasatellite.blogspot.com/2012/01/scam-from-callers-claiming-to-be-from.html) this is in this weeks Euro Weekly News about this caller claiming to be from Microsoft and saying your PC is broken and they can fix it...
[QUOTE]Warning of Microsoft ‘broken computer’ scam .
A NUMBER of readers from various parts of Spain have contacted EWN reporting a scam in which a person claiming to be from Microsoft calls to fix their computer.
Microsoft has a webpage dedicated to scams that use its name fraudulently, including this one.
While many people many people may not realise they are being scammed and part with their money thinking a service has been provided, for other’s alarm bells ring, but often too late.
This was the case for Peter Dunn from Velez Rubio in Almeria. The same day he had bought a new computer he received a call from a woman saying she was from Windows PC Support.
“She said that my computer has sent a serious error message to them and that there is a high risk that the computer will crash terminally very soon. She then asked me to start the computer and type in various codes. During this initial conversation I ask if she is from Microsoft and she said ‘yes’.”
He was later transferred to a ‘senior technician’, who asked Mr Dunn to type in several codes and stressed that the problem was ‘very serious’.
This man was even able to confirm Mr Dunn’s IP Address and Microsoft Key. All this took about 20 minutes.
“He then told me that my computer would terminally crash in 25 minutes and offered to correct and protect my computer for life, all for a single payment of €130,” said Mr Dunn, who declined the offer saying he would take the computer back to where he had bought it from.
“The technician got quite agitated saying it had nothing to do with the company that sold me the computer and that if I didn’t do the repair I would lose everything.”
Since Mr Dunn had only just bought the computer there was nothing for him to lose, but for many the fear of losing treasured photos would be a strong motivating factor to part with money to solve this problem.
“This scam has been around since 2010 and originates in India,” Cliff Dale, senior technician at Electronbox in Fuengirola told EWN.
“The calls are generally from landline numbers assigned to VOIP companies (like Skype and others) and they use these to link to a call centre in India.
They have already scammed several thousand people in the UK, Ireland, USA and Canada, some for as much as $4,200 (€3,225).
This scan is often successful because “most people have a PC these days and many already believe their computer is perhaps a bit slow,” said Mr Dale.
However, how these scammers get people’s information seems to be a mystery “as they are now targeting English speaking people here in Spain it suggests their data is already compromised somewhere.”
Anybody who has followed their instructions may have had their PCs security compromised. “In several cases Malware (virus files) have been installed on our client’s computers with the hope of gaining other personally identifiable information,” said Mr Dale.
“Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls to clients, particularly from an error report sent by your computer. Mr Dale advises that anybody who receives a call of this nature should tell the person it is not convenient to talk at the moment and get a number to call them back on.
Then report the scam to http://actionfraud.org.uk/ and give them the phone number.
They will collate the information and pass it on to various other law enforcement agencies for action.

Scam from callers claiming to be from Microsoft
I have received a few calls from concerned people asking about the following scam.
A telephone call, from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, gets the unsuspecting person to believe that their computer is faulty. This person claims they can fix it....
Now here is the catch...you have to grant them access to your PC so they can fix it....!!!
DO NOT DO THIS AT ALL!!!
This is where you grant them access to your PC and they can get any data or install other SPY programs onto your PC without you knowing.
Sometimes, they create a problem on your PC, and say that for a sum of money they can fix it for you, otherwise "your computer is at risk and it may crash and you will lose everything."
This is just a scam.
A trick to get money and personal details from a computer.
If you say can you have their name and call them back, or if you can check this with someone working at Microsft they will claim that they are a "secret department" and no-one really knows they exist!
They get your details from a phone book or other public listing.
Be polite...and end the call as soon as possible.

Microsoft has found that thousands of people have received fraudulent phone calls from scammers claiming to be from the company. The fraud is said to cost each victim more than £500. [17 June 2011]
The scam works by criminals posing as computer security engineers and calling people at home to tell them they are at risk of a computer security threat. The scammers tell their victims they are providing free security checks and add authenticity by claiming to represent legitimate companies and using telephone directories to refer to their victims by name.
Once they have tricked their victims into believing they have a problem and that the caller can help, the scammers are believed to run through a range of deception techniques designed to steal money.
Microsoft reveals extent of phone scamTo establish the extent of this emerging form of Internet fraud, Microsoft surveyed 7,000 computer users in the U.K., Ireland, U.S. and Canada. The survey showed that across all four countries, 15% of people had received a call from scammers. In Ireland this rose to 26%.
Of those who received a call, 22%, or 3% of the total survey sample, were deceived into following the scammers’ instructions, which ranged from permitting remote access to their computer and downloading software code provided by the criminals to providing credit card information and making a purchase.
The vast majority (79%) of people deceived in this way suffered some sort of financial loss. Seventeen percent said they had money taken from their accounts, 19 percent reported compromised passwords and 17% were victims of identity fraud. More than half (53%) said they suffered subsequent computer problems.
The average cost of repairing damage caused to computers by the scammers was more than £1,000.
The following is Microsoft’s advice:
•Be suspicious of unsolicited calls related to a security problem, even if they claim to represent a respected company.
•Never provide personal information, such as credit card or bank details, to an unsolicited caller.
•Do not go to a website, type anything into a computer, install software or follow any other instruction from someone who calls out of the blue.
•Take the caller’s information down and pass it to the authorities.
•Use up-to-date versions of Windows and application software.
•Make sure security updates are installed regularly.
•Use a strong password and change it regularly.
•Make sure the firewall is turned on and that antivirus software is installed and up to date.
•Microsoft Security Essentials is a free antivirus product and is available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security_essentials/default.aspx.
Microsoft advises anyone who thinks they may already have been a victim of a phone scam to do the following:
•Change their computer’s password, change the password on their main email account and change the password for any financial accounts, especially bank and credit cards.
•Scan their computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to find out if they have malware installed on their computer.
•Contact their bank and credit card companies.

How to set your Sky+HD box to operate on a single feed mode using one cable.
A Sky+HD digibox is ideally to be used with two cable feeds from your satellite dish. This allows you to use the full potential of your Sky+HD box, and allows you to watch one channel and record another at the same time.
However, in some cases, especailly in community satellite installations, it may not be possible to have a seconds cable feeding your Sky+HD box.
Having only a single cable to your Sky+HD box can cause some problems, such as the "No satellite signal is being received" on screen error message, if you do not tell your Sky+HD box that you are only using a single cable.
This is the process to set your Sky+HD box into single feed / cable mode.

Sky Default Transponder Frequency Setting for Sky HD boxes on the Costa Blanca Spain
"What to do if you receive the message "NO SATELLITE SIGNAL BEING RECEIVED" on a Sky HD digibox receiver?"
When a Sky HD digibox is turned on the first time the first thing the box tries to do is, amongst other things, to download approximately 6 hours of EPG information from a specific default frequency (or Transponder) from the satellite. The digibox must have this information to start to work. Unfortunately, the default frequency (transponder) that the decoder is initially set to look for (11778) is one of the weaker signals in Spain and the Costa Blanca, especially during the afternoons, even on a 2.4m satellite dish! So should you experience one of Spains frequent power cuts during this period, your digibox may be unable to find this frequency, fail to boot up, and display the on screen message "No Satellite Signal Being Received". Therefore, to assist the digibox to receive the bare minimum information it requires boot up the default frequency must be changed to another frequency to enable the initial information download.
This shows you how to change the default frequency to help the box boot up.
