Now TV is the closest at the moment.
You need an active Sky account to use Sky Go, unless you have a friend who has Sky Go Extra (supports 4 devices) and they can give you one of their devices that way. If your friend does not have a Sky account, he most likely is using someone else's Sky Go Extra.
