This means that you can watch Sky programming on any compatible PC, laptop, Mac, tablet or smartphone, including iPads, iPhones and a range of Android devices. Sky Go is free to all Sky TV customers. There is mixed live and on-demand content, which can be watched on one device at a time, although it is possible to have up to three devices registered at any given time.

Signing up to Sky Go is easy, though the process will vary depending on your device. Follow the instructions below.
4. Select ‘Sign up’. You’ll be asked to create a new account, which you can then use to sign into Sky Go whenever you like.
Sky Go is a great companion to your existing Sky package. It will allow you to get more from your services and is great in households with different tastes, for example, you could be watching your favourite show on the TV while someone else in your household watches their favourite show on Sky Go – that ought to settle a few fights. The downside is that it is only available to Sky TV customers, and this is quite a major downside, since getting Sky TV is a big commitment.
The benefit of internet television services is that they offer great convenience at a lower price point than traditional TV services, and sadly Sky Go doesn’t tick either of these boxes. If you’ve already got Sky TV then you should absolutely get Sky Go, but if you haven’t and you’re looking for something flexible and low commitment, Sky Go probably isn’t for you.

I’m told that with Sky Go, which we already have, we can also watch Netflix. Is this correct?
Hello John,
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, you can. You’ll need the new ‘Ultimate On Demand’ package to get Netflix on Sky, because this isn’t just the Netflix app on the Sky Q box. The package costs £10 per month and includes Sky Box Sets, which is normally £5 per month. This includes Netflix Standard, which is £7.99 per month.
You may reach out to Sky directly so they can set this up for you.

What is the largest screen tablet that is ok for Sky Go?
Hi Peter,
Thanks for reaching out to Finder.
The updated Sky Go app will work on most Android tablets, provided they’re running Android 4.0 or above. However, the app will work best on tablets between 7-inches and 10-inches in size.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Charisse
Hi, I just joined Sky and I’m trying Sky Go. I got the basic entertainment package but on the Sky Go app, I can watch all the films. Will this cost me more?
Hi Ben,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
The basic TV package of Sky Go comes with over 300 channels. It includes a lot of channels such as jewel in Sky’s crown and Sky Atlantic. The channels available on your app are only those that are part of your paid package. Thus, it is most likely that what you see on your app are those that you paid for. It should not cost you more.
If you want to confirm, you may want to directly get in touch with Sky Go as well.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
