Sky Go on a Set-top Box

At the time of writing, there is no set-top box offering access to Sky Go. The following notes might be helpful though:

Fetch TV? Sky Go was available to users of the Fetch TV set-up box. Fetch TV sent into administration at the end of 2011, and the SKy Go service stopped in May 2012.

3View? There were plans for the Sky Player (the predecessor to Sky Go) to be available on the 3View box. As of early 2012, the 3View box ceased to be available and the manufacturer’s website vanished. At the time of writing, we’re not sure about the fate of 3View, but there’s no Sky Go on the service, and we can’t recommend it!

Apple TV? We understand that you can’t use an iPhone or iPad with an Apple TV box to get Sky Go on your TV. The Sky Go app does not support Airplay, so can’t output video onto a TV via an Apple TV box.

Sky Go on Humax boxes?

There has been discussion of Sky Go being available on the Humax Portal, meaning that Internet-enabled Freeview and Freesat boxes made by Humax will have access to Sky Go. The last official work we heard on this was back in 2011, when the service was “coming shortly”. At the time of writing, we’re not aware of any firm plans for Sky Go to come to Humax, but please add a comment below if you know differently

Sky Go and HDMI cables aren’t the easiest things to use together for various reasons. Here’s a workaround to make things a bit simpler for anyone wishing to watch Sky Go.

Sky Go is a great way to enjoy Sky channels on your TV, laptop, iPhone, iPad, Android tablet or phone.

Unfortunately, the service doesn’t allow you to use an HDMI cable directly, but there are ways to work around this issue.

Some Smart TVs also do not currently support the Sky Go app which means you might be stuck watching it on a smaller screen.

How to watch Sky Go on your phone

If you’re off on holiday or have a lot of travels planned and you’re a Sky subscriber, why not download the Sky Go app on your laptop or phone?

Why won’t my HDMI cable work with Sky Go?

Sky TV hasn’t cited in an official statement why an HDMI cable won’t work when trying to watch Sky Go on your TV.

The reason for HDMI and Sky Go being incompatible is most likely a way of protecting the Sky Go content. Sky may be concerned with what customers could do with the Sky Go content. For all they know, customers could be sharing content with other people who aren’t paying customers by recording shows.

We understand this can be frustrating when you pay for the service and then you can’t use it the way you want to. Many Sky Go customers wish to watch the service on a bigger screen and an HDMI cable enables just that.
