TechRader have a first look at the Sky Player Xbox application. The service which is due in the Autumn look very slick and points to the future of TV being delivered over IP.

The application adds in to to the existing UI and navigates very much like the rest of the Xbox NXE with the edition of an EPG and a way of watching TV with you Xbox Live friends via a giant screen and avatars which sounds like it could be fun

So in the Autumn you will be able to use the Sky Player through your Xbox 360 – with the tie up between one of Britain's biggest broadcasters and the might of Microsoft already looking damn impressive.

Of course, the version that was being shown off to the press was still an early version of the Xbox Sky Player, but it's already showcasing much of the functionality.

TechRadar has had plenty of time to play around with the Xbox Sky Player in its foetal stage, and we have to confess to being entirely impressed by what we have seen

The potential for this could be excellent, really looking forward to getting my hands on it.

I wonder if they will develop proper media center integration now that MS and Sky have this new partnership.

Could this mean other players, such as BBC, ITV and Ch 4 all appear?
