Hi

I want to buy Sky TV app so I can get Sky sports for £4.99 p/m but I'm just wondering if I can download on my SGS3 phone and then download again on my Nexus for free, so I can use it on both devices. Anyone know?

You can only watch Sky Go on one device iirc. Your probably gona need to buy it 2 times though from the app store to do it legally.


Edit: scrap the bit about 1 device, found out you can have up to 2 devices.

I think this app is a bit different to the Sky go one. It entitles non Sky sports customers access to sports channels for 4.99 a month.
 
Is this just the sky sports app?
And for 4.99 that's a bargain, is there f1 hd, can you watch it on browser so you can watch it on a big tv, or would you need to connect phone up.

Any details? Can't find much on sky website
 
Yeah just Sky Sports...

well I'm a sky customer and I bought sky predominantly for F1. But I don't have the sports package.

With this app, which is compatible with Samsung smartphones at least (mines an SGS3) you can download it and subscribe for £4.99 a month which gives you access to SS1, SS2 and ESPN, at least... only just installed it so not sure of the others.

I'm currently watching the united and real madrid game! :D

Just beware, I read the comments first and some people have had a mare with the subscription not working and paying for nothing - you need to create a Sky id using a gmail email address first, assuming you're on Android and downloading through the playstore.

Forgot to mention at the moment you can't link it up to a bigger device, which is a shame but I hope they change it. You can get F1.

doesn't work on gs2 (cm10) so I'd suggest it won't work on rooted phones.

i already have sky but not the sports package, if i could get it to work on my phone could i only watch it on my phone or could i also watch it on my TV through my sky box?

edit: seems not. meh watching TV on a phone is totally fail.. ah well....

Im trying to work out how I can get it to work on my Nexus.
 
At least on the iPhone version the picture quality is terrible, way lower than HD, not even SD i'd say. Also the sound lags about 1 second behind the picture.
