On Demand Content

On the PC version of Sky Go, as well as being able to watch live TV, you can also download content from the Sky Anytime service (which you can also do from a Sky+HD box connected to a Sky Broadband account).

We found the TV content on offer to be a little thin. In the Comedy section, we only found 4 shows (My Family, Angry Boys, Modern Family and Raising Hope), with just two shows in sci-fi (Stargate Universe and Ten Wolf). Movies was a bit better populated, with a fairly decent selection of movies that have recently appeared on the many Sky Movies channels.

The Comedy section of Sky Go Movies

To watch the on-demand stuff, you can either stream the content from your web browser, or if you download the separate Sky Go application, you can select an on-demand show from the library, and the programme will be downloaded onto your hard drive, so that you can watch it offline.

The downloadable PC application uses Microsoft Silverlight, and allows you to watch downloaded content for a specified period. A download of a 90 minute show took around 45 minutes when we tested, and allowed us a 6 day pass to watch what we’d downloaded

Sky Go Restrictions

The Sky Go service is free to Sky subscribers, but you can watch what you subscribe to, so you’ll only get the Sky Go Sky Movies channels if you subscribe to Sky Movies on the TV service.

If you’re not a Sky TV subscriber, you can still sign up thought, and watch channels and movies without the need for a satellite dish. Prices and signup information can be found on the Sky Go Site

Also, note that you can only have two devices “authorised” to use Sky Go – perhaps a desktop computer and an iPhone. You’re not allowed a third device, although you can delete one of your two devices, to make room for a different device.

You can manage your devices on the Sky Go website, where you’ll be required to enter your Sky iD username and password.

Sky Go Questions

How much bandwidth do I need to watch Sky Go?

Sky recommends 2Mbps for home broadband, and between 180-1400kbps on the 3G mobile network

How do I get more channels including radio channels that are within my package. I can only seem to get some of the t.v channels and none of the plus one channels or any of the radio/music channels.

Please advise.

Sky Go and HDMI cables aren’t the easiest things to use together for various reasons. Here’s a workaround to make things a bit simpler for anyone wishing to watch Sky Go.

Sky Go is a great way to enjoy Sky channels on your TV, laptop, iPhone, iPad, Android tablet or phone.

Unfortunately, the service doesn’t allow you to use an HDMI cable directly, but there are ways to work around this issue.

Some Smart TVs also do not currently support the Sky Go app which means you might be stuck watching it on a smaller screen.

How to watch Sky Go on your phone

If you’re off on holiday or have a lot of travels planned and you’re a Sky subscriber, why not download the Sky Go app on your laptop or phone?

With this installed, you need to log in with your Sky ID and password. You should have set this up when you first joined Sky. With that done, you’re free to browse and enjoy Sky programming on your mobile device or laptop.

You can also download shows and movies to watch while you’re offline if you’re a Sky Go Extra customer, which is particularly useful when you’re heading abroad on holiday to avoid data charges.
