Shame its not go on-demand, better than nowt, not complaining.

The website is still truly abysmal. I would love to meet the team who designed it so I could stamp repeatedly on their collective faces.

L1ght · 20 Jul 2011 at 20:31

The new website is worse than before, who the hell are they getting to design this? I can't seem to get the pop-out window working, and from the looks of it seems like there having a lot of problems with that. But man it really looks rubbish.

I'm annoyed that they got rid of the WMC app. I hate the website and would only use WMC for it.

If I was paying for it they would've just lost themselves a customer!

Still uses Silverlight

It doesn't work at all for me. Our Sky account was previously in my name for years but since my younger brother started working PT for Sky, we now get everything for free. Problem is, they have now put the account in his name but left half my details there so it's two accounts sort of merged into one.

When I log into my Sky Account it shows my package as having all the channels, Sky World, ESPN etc yet it won't let me watch anything on Sky Go, on both the PC and iPhone. I need to link my account to the Sky TV account. I was speaking to a Sky Adviser online today for almost an hour explaining everything and going round in circles, they really haven't got the foggiest. In the end she said it was 'too complex' a problem so she has referred it to the technical team lol.

Iphone / Ipad app is now available.
Looks pretty good on the iPad i must say, very watchable.

Nathan · 21 Jul 2011 at 10:28

Its great on the iphone. whats amazing is that it is all freeeeeeeee. Long nights at work wont be so long now!

Scrutinize · 21 Jul 2011 at 11:03

so this would be awesome, if i could actually watch any of the channels, which I can't

Django x2 · 21 Jul 2011 at 12:55

No, cos you need a sky subscription

I just got Sky Go using a secondary account ! Even though I don't have Sky. Thanks world!

mjones1 · 21 Jul 2011 at 13:25

I forgot about this, thanks for the reminder wish i was able to use more than 2 devices.

Nismo · 21 Jul 2011 at 15:33

2 device limit is an absolute PITA, at least it's easy enough to temporarily remove devices.

Also, how come with online and Xbox 360 you can watch all the Sky Go channels, but it's limited to Sports/Movies and Sky News on iOS?

e36Adz · 21 Jul 2011 at 20:03

Sky finally sorted out the problem I had so it works now. Tested today on my iPhone 4 and absolutely brilliant quality even over 3G. It must have been rinsing bandwidth though and I only get 500MB a month.

hopefully they will release an android app?

Sky stated they are working on a Android app and it will be released by the end of the year.

Does anyone know how many times we can edit our devices per month? I know there is a fair usage policy for the amount of times you can change it.

I've flicked between 4 devices and already hit my limit for the month, I'm guessing I must have changed the devices around between 5-10 times?

Do you know if Sky Go needs multi room on the account for it to work on iOS devices? My gran has happily donated her account as she's yet to discover the iPhone and iPad!

picnic · 28 Jul 2011 at 12:51

I don't have multi-room and Sky Go works fine on my iPad and laptop
