After you have successfully loaded your player account, just click on the "Televised Tournament" tab and select from one of the upcoming events.

Once you've registered into a tournament visit the Sky TV channel located on channel 846 via satellite and watch live coverage of your game. You can find your game on the Sky Poker TV by using the arrow keys on your remote. With the lobby open select 1 for all cash and play money games, 2 for tournaments and 3 for 'My Tournaments'.

What makes this feature interesting is that while your playing in the online version of Sky Poker you can also watch the tournament on your TV. The Sky TV includes a virtual looking card room with two announcers who analyse the game, similar to other nighttime poker shows.

The satellite channel isn't the only interesting characteristic of Sky Poker. The poker room is universal for all operating systems due to the flash poker room and does not require any download in order to access the games. This is great for players that like to play poker on the fly.  The software is extremely friendly to use and is easy enough for a beginner all the while supporting the standard options experienced players would expect to see.

Once you have your account set up simply login and click the Play Now button on the poker room website. The lobby will load instantly in either Internet Explorer or FireFox, and will provide you with a complete listing of available cash games (all of which are played in Euros). The tab menu above provides options for sit n go's, tournaments, search features, the community forum, your account info and finally, an informative FAQ guide. The main lobby is very specific and detailed. You will be able to search for games based on format, such as fixed limit, pot limit, no limit as well as a "Televised" link, that displays all live events. Live events are available for cash games and tournaments.

The tables are clean and simple with a blue background and cartoon like avatars. Beginners can take advantage of the "Hot-O-Meter" which provides players with a hand-ranking tool. This feature will sum up your hand based on strength and for the novice player, SkyPoker.com offers an online poker school.

What we do like with the Sky Poker.com software is the overall integration between the online poker and the main website. When the flash poker room loads, it loads right on the Sky Poker website. You will never need to leave the site to play any of the games nor make your deposit and as a side benefit can also check out the bingo room, games room and sports book owned by Sky.com.
