Sky Go (possible free Sky Sports)

Anyone seen all the ads.

This shiz launches today apparantly.

If you don't have Sky but know someone who does, rob their Sky ID and password and you can get Sky Sports free on your laptop or iPhone.

(If your iPhone is jailbroken, you can get an app and a cheap cable to start watching stuff from your iPhone, on your TV. Absolutely free Sky Sports)

Been wondering what this is? Isn't it just basically Sky Mobile tv?

This is potentially fucking awesome!

Yep but they've fucked off the subscription fees aslong a you have a Sky subscription.

I don't have Sky but my Dad does. My laptop is too shit to run Sky Player.

So now I'm going to get it on my iPhone, hook it up to my TV. Free Sky Sports.

Soooooo who's gonna give me their sky id and password.

Only allowed two other devices per ID so it will be hard.

But if someone does give you one, I'm sure you could mess around with your IP and get this in America.

how do you get it on iPhone? ive just searched the market place but got nothing

Interesting...

We're getting sky+ for our house at Uni next year.

Does that mean, along with the main TV with that, two other people in the house can use sky on there laptops to watch what they want? Will work well.

Yeah I'm doing the same.

It's either not released at this moment, or they're just carrying on using the Sky Mobile TV app.

I'm just getting an ID and password to test and I'll let you know.

Yep

But you have to be subscribed to Sky Sports 1+2.

I had Sky Mobile tv on my iPhone? (Had it basically all last season to watch the football, fucked it off now as the footy's finished). Does that mean I'm eligible for Sky Go, or do you have to have Sky Digital in your house to get it free?

You have to have a subscription in your house to get it free. If not, then in August you can carry on just paying for Sky Mobile. But it's easier to find someone who has Sky and ask for their ID. Not many people know about or bother with Mobile.


I just went on a Sky forum and they said the Sky Go app is not released yet. Probably something to do with Apple.

Ah, thought so. Bastard, too good to be true.

It can't be that hard to find someone who has Sky

I have 3 possible IDs to use. Just waiting for my Dad to text me one.

I can't believe they're only allowing 2 devices to be registered.
It makes no sense at all. They allowed 4 when it was Sky Player, then they add more compatible devices but reduce the max number you can have to 2.

It makes no sense at all. They allowed 5 when it was Sky Player, then they add more compatible devices but reduce the max number you can have to 2.

Basically to stop people doing this.

Actually, my Nan and Grandad have Sky. Doubt they'll know their Sky ID though. 'James, what's your Sky ID' Grandad: 'What?'

(I call my Grandad by his name)

I think you can have two streaming at the same time now though.

I'll be using my dads father-in-laws if I can't get any others.



The fucking app is still not out.

I have 3 accounts to use for this.

You can, but it's still shit. I alone intended on having it on my Xbox, Laptop and iPod, but I can't even do that and it also means nobody else in the house can use it.

I can see the issue, but this pure win for me. I don't have Sky, now I will have for fuck all on my TV.

They're allowing 7 devices. Only two can be used at the same time.

App won't be out today too.

I believe that was their original plan but they changed it.

What's more, if you're a Sky Sports customer you'll be able to watch all 5 Sky Sports channels on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. With Sky Go you can register up to two devices and watch on both at the same time.

I've already got my two registered and there are no more empty slots.

Well I was told today that I could register seven.

People have already been saying it's only two.

They posted this yesterday.
