Title: Sky go
Post by: STMO123 on 09 March 2012, 19:59:14
Just downloaded sky go onto my android. I'm surprised they didn't make more of a hoo-hah about it becoming available.

I decided to watch the rugby on sky sports 1 just to see (or not see ;D ) what it was like. Picture was great but no sound.
"I might have known it wouldn't work" I said to wifey.
They were having a minutes silence for the soldiers who died in Afghanistan. :-[

At your age I would have thought you would be far too blind too be able to see the picture on a screen that small. ::)





I know I am.

Bit rates will step up, either 3G or WiFi, the first playlist it grabs is the lowest bit rate. Then depending on the speed of your connection, the player on the phone can figure out the best bit rate it can use.

You will find the picture is better on Movies & Sport, as we have higher bit rates on these.

Only officially available on certain Android handsets only, however you can easily get around this looking at a few forums  ;)

Matches you home subscription, so what you are entitled to there you get on the phone. F1 channel to follow soon!

Also launching an Android App for non-sky customers, called "Sky Sports TV" with Sky Sports 1,2,3,4, Sports News, News, ATR & EPSN

You can change the device, but only have 7 devices a month.

If it was not limited, you'd give you login details to your mate would'd you? Then you might have another spare and give it to another mate!

Streaming data costs money, vasts amount as it happens.

I imagine the only people who would do that are those that take portable HDD's to work and then post on public forums asking how to disable BitLocker  ;D ;D

Absolutely, so I can't imagine it being all that popular until mobile service providers start allowing realistic usage amounts for their customers.

It was the on-board HDD actually  ::)

Still like to know how too, its a pointless feature  >:(

Actually SkyGo is a massive hit, those "unlimited" (but have 1GB usually) tariffs are taking a hit! What with streaming video, free IM over data too, Operators are non too happy  ;D

My bad, it was portable!  :-[

I did actually want to patch the onboard, as well. Makes transferring items at home a right PITA.

Cheers for link, will investigate that  :y

I'd be careful doing that if I were you, I can't imagine your bosses being too impressed if they catch you trying to break the security they have put in place.

Very true.

My previous HP Elitebook crapbook was taken away to be bitlockered, hard drive gave up few days later. Speaking with one of the techies who was doing the roll out, said they had a 4 in 10 failure rate  :o

On the 3rd hard drive, mine "escaped" this install. Sadly on the Win7 roll out, I got it again.

I can see why they put it on, but then again, I've got dropbox, if I wanted to transfer out any valuable info, I'd just drop it into one of its synced folders.

Guess it protects against your average chav getting access if you loose laptop on a train  :-\
