Even better, you can register Sky Go on two different devices so you’ve always got Sky TV with you. And if you want to change the devices that are registered, you can do this quickly and easily on a monthly basis.

    Please note only handsets manufactured for the UK and EU will support Sky Go. We will be bringing Sky Go to more devices over time and will continue to assess demand to make sure we deliver the service to as many customers as possible.

  • Does Sky Go affect my monthly data tariff?

    Watching Sky Go on your mobile or tablet device through a 3G connection will use data. If you are concerned about exceeding the monthly data allowance set by your mobile network operator as part of your contract, we recommend you watch Sky Go through a WiFi connection.

    If you'd like to ensure you are only watching Sky Go using a WiFi connection when using your iPhone or iPad, you can turn off your 3G connection by entering the Settings menu, then selecting General followed by Network.

  • Can I watch on rooted devices?

    Unfortunately we are unable to support rooted devices as this breaches the contractual agreements we have with our content providers. Rooting your device can put you at considerable risk by invalidating your warranty and exposes your device to malware. We’d like to make you aware that using Sky Go on a rooted device also puts you at risk of exposing your Sky iD and personal information to 3rd parties.

  • What are the device limits?

    We are required to fulfil certain contractual obligations with our 3rd party content providers; this includes limitations on the number of devices our customers can watch their content on. This is in place to protect distribution of content and fraudulent use.

    To minimise the impact of the device limits we have tried our best to ensure that our customers are able to access Sky Go on a wide range of devices including 10 smartphone models; iPod touch, iPad 1 & 2, laptops, PCs, Macs and the Xbox 360 as well as being able to change one of their registered devices every month.
