Sky Go - what is it?
If you are interested in watching exclusive series or sporting events, you have probably stumbled across Sky Go. We'll explain exactly what that is here.
That is behind Sky Go
With "Sky Go" you have access to sports channels and live sport events from "Sky" as well as a large collection of series, films and documentaries via smartphone, tablet or computer.
- In other words, it is an app that allows you to use the Sky offer on your devices.
- "Sky Go" is included in every Sky subscription and is completely free of charge.
Use Sky Go on iOS and Android
You can find the Sky Go app in the iTunes store. With this you also have access to the stream on the go - provided of course you have a mobile internet connection. Also note that the stream consumes a lot of data.
- First download the free app "Sky Go" for iPhone or iPad. You will also find the corresponding apps for Android in our download portal.
- First you need a Sky PIN, which you can set here. After starting the app, log in with your customer number and the Sky PIN. You will then see different categories such as "Sports" or "Film & Series" below.
- Once you have decided on a station or a film, press the play symbol.
Use Sky Go with your computer
With your Mac or Windows computer, you used to have access to the Sky Go service via the browser.
- This option no longer exists. You now need the desktop app of the same name to use Sky Go.
- You can find the desktop apps for Windows and macOS, for example, in our download portal.
Use Sky Go on Xbox 360 - what about Xbox One and PlayStation 4?
To access "Sky Go" on Xbox 360, you need an Xbox LIVE Gold membership. The price for this varies depending on the duration of membership:
- Start Xbox 360 and then sign in with your Xbox LIVE ID.
- Under the menu item "Apps" look for "Sky Go".
- Then download the Sky Go app and enter your Sky customer number and Sky-Pin after installation.
- There is no Sky Go app for your Xbox One because app development has been discontinued. You can also no longer stream with the Xbox One Sky Go via the browser.
- It looks similarly bad for the PS4. There has never been a Sky Go app for Sony consoles - this will probably not change in the future.
Sky can only be paired with up to four devices at the same time. If this number is reached, you must reset the device list. You can read how this works in the next article.
