...Just learnt that that the Sky player idea only works if you have either Sky multi-room (which I don't), or unlimited Sky broadband internet (which the Sky account does).
A friend who's got the fairly basic sky package has 59 channels to view on sky player through their Xbox 360.
I presume if you have sports/movies, you'll be able to see some of these channels in your Sky player channels? 
£10 a month for sky player
Verified with Sky, there's no cost for it if you have a Sky account with either multiroom or unlimited broadband.
If you don't have a Sky account or have a Sky account with either of the above options, Sky Player/Sky Go is £15 a month, not £10.
Had me very worried there for an evening
