    does this work with airplay to appletv ?

    Anyone able to confirm this as I'm thinking of cancelling my existing sky sports subscription (UPC - so no free access) if it does?

    Havent tried it with Sky Go but the Mobile TV App definitely didn't work. Would be delighted if it did but can't see them allowing it!

    I'm a Sky TV subscriber, but not Sky Sports, and also pay €10 a month for the Sky Mobile app.

    Installed Sky Go this morning but couldn't access any Sports channels. I had presumed that Sky Go was replacing the Sky Mobile app and therefore my Sky Sports subscription should carry across. Anyway, I called Sky and was told that Sky Go is only for existing Sky subscribers and will basically replicate your TV subscription online.
    I asked about Sky Mobile app and was told that it will continue to exist and cater for non-subscribers. Asked could I change my registered device to from my iPhone to my iPad & was told that, as I was on an iPhone sub, to get an "iPad subscription" I would have to pay €40 a month instead of the €10 I'm currently paying! It gives you 1 iPad and 1 iPhone for that.

    Anyway, looks like Sky have gotten what they wanted all along as I've just added Sky Sports to my TV subscription to take advantage of Sky Go and will cancel my Sky Mobile subscription. Will cost me an extra €24 a month but I think I'll use Sky Go a hell of a lot.

    At least Sky are embracing technology a bit anyway.

    Ok im slightly confused as to what content i will actually get on my I pad with this app.

    I am piggy backing my parents bog standard sky subscription (no movies, no sports) - does mean that the I pad app is basically useless to me and I will get nothing for free on it? (But will be able to watch everything my laptop?)

    Yep, the only channels on it so far are Sky Sports and Sky Movies along with Sky News. But the Entertainment Channels are coming at some date.

    There is a large time lag between TV/Laptop and an Iphone.
    Picture is okay after about 5-10 seconds.

    Is anyone else have problems at the moment with channels freezing? Have 100mb UPC broadband so bandwidth isn't an issue and don't have any problems streaming video with other apps. I'm using the iPad app.

    I have started having channels freeze in the last week or so on iPad here in Waterford, I'm on 25mb UPC ...I wouldn't be surprised if UPC were blocking ports used by the Sky GO App.

    Just noticed it tonight. Not with UPC so it's not that. Not sure what the issue is
