Season Four of Lost began Sunday night on Sky One, but viewers with Sky HD or one of the newer Sky+ boxes were able to view the show 24 hours ahead of time.
The first two episodes in the previous series of the Disney-ABC International Television drama are also being made available on Sky Anytime on PC along with the final episodes of the last series.
Lost has been a key driver of on demand services in Europe – helped by the enthusiasm of its producers for the medium. In France TF1 is able to offer episodes just 24 hours after their initial transmission in the United States.
