Sky Go now free on PC, tablet and smartphone

Sky Go is going to present on today some news related to Sky Go, a service that allows subscribers to follow a selection of satellite channels offer streaming on mobile devices. Sky Go was launched a few months ago has been available until recently exclusively on the iPad, and this morning is also available for free on your smartphone (currently only on iPhone), tablet PC and the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Sky Go Now is Free

Another important change is that Sky Go, unlike what was announced at the time of launch, it will be offered through an additional surcharge (initially set at 7 euro per month) compared to the monthly fee paid by each subscriber, but after this update will be included at no additional cost to all those who have active service HD, while it seems that will not be accessible, even for a fee, to customers who receive only channels in standard definition.

Compatible devices at the moment are iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S, as well all'Android Samsung Galaxy Tab and computers with operating systems Windows XP SP3 32-bit, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS 10.6 and Mac OS 10.7. IPhone and Galaxy Tab will need to install their app free for download from their virtual store, while PC users will need to install the Sky Go player, which downloads will be prompted automatically when the first connection to the service.

To access the viewing of streaming channels will be sufficient, in addition to the HD service active, register on the site Sky.it (existing customers can use the credentials you use to access the DIY), subscribe to Sky Go for free by going to the "Do it yourself", by entering the "Enrich subscription" and selecting "Sky Go" to "Decoder and services."

The selection of visible channels varies according to the subscribed packages in your subscription principal, so if you have the Sports Pack but not the Football Pack you will see only the sports channels but not calcium, to cite one example. Among the channels offered are Sky TG 24, Sky Sport 24, Fox, Eurosport, National Geographic Channel, History Channel and Disney, as well as Sky Sports channels and those which are broadcast on football matches of Serie A and the best leagues Europe.

Also worth noting that not all content in the schedule can be enjoyed on any device, because for the sake of some rights events, including Serie A, are not visible on iPhone and 3G network in general, but are only accessible by fixed network cable or WiFi.

Conclusion

The quality of vision (the channels are broadcast in standard definition) automatically adapts to the speed of the connection to the customer and a connection with at least 2 mega should be sufficient. From the first tests with a ADSL 10 mega we found a very good quality and a good fluidity despite the Sky Go service is started by a few hours.
