As the name implies Sky Go is a service to watch TV on the go. It is a three-pronged strategy to make Sky programming easily available on computers, cell phones and tablets. The service was launched last month and is trying to develop the somewhat fragmented in the previous offer, such as Sky Go! View and Sky Mobile TV. He is also an important consideration price: free (reservations required). So we'll break down each service.
Sky Jump
Sky has wisely GB hub site for its mobile TV offerings. Parameters used here as passwords and parental controls registered devices are automatically applied to Sky Jump Desktop for Mac and PC and GB app for iPhone and iPad. Returning to the site just to adjust these settings can be frustrating, but it makes the system simple and allow parents to keep control of remote control over what their children watch.
Channel selection on the site is also the largest of the three services. More than 30 channels are currently available, including Sky Sports 1-4, Eurosport, ESPN, Sky Premier Showcase and action, Sky 1, National Geographic, History Channel, Disney, Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
With such a selection of good (and more being added all the time) ease of navigation are essential, and fortunately. Smart TV guide redesign can be scanned much like Google Maps, with a left click of the mouse to shoot organized the calendar in any direction to scroll through the channels and times. A compact bar than it does to choose from day or time of day (morning, afternoon, evening) just so simple. If you click on a program that provides a brief description, list of aeration time and other (if started) the ability to see a small preview window, the area code. To facilitate the visualization of this window can be detached and dragged to any size or fight for a full screen.
This is similar functionality using any time, a great advantage to wait for the sky Go tortuous site plans to deploy the customer service does not use broadband in the sky (now 10 months and counting). As such, there are over 200 films available at present (though not TV) and the transmission is quick, even on a slow connection. Be forced to sit on an ad at first, but this is not a problem (at least without going into the question of paying twice for the sky with content both subscriptions and advertising).
Unfortunately for the same right that the site is being read wrong astronomical. There is no HD option understandable if disappointing, and no time to spend, but the real impact is the poor quality of video in standard definition. The user interface on the screen is similar to the Sky digibox and extremely strong, but most channels are horribly pixelated and when the angle of the camera panning many frames are skipped, resulting in a terribly unequal experience. This is particularly evident when looking at the sport that is somewhat ironic that the complete selection of sports channels suggests that the principle of the sky hook customers.
