Please note only devices manufactured for the UK and EU will support Sky Go. We will be bringing Sky Go to more devices over time and will continue to assess demand to make sure we deliver the service to as many customers as possible.
Why is Sky Go only on selected Android devices?
The Android platform covers a wide range of devices that have differing hardware and versions of the Android operating system. We have to tailor the Sky Go app for each smartphone to ensure our customers with these handsets get the optimum Sky Go experience which takes considerable time to build and test before we can release it. Factors we need to consider include:
HDMI out - The majority of new Android smartphones include the option to plug your phone into your TV through your HDMI port. We have to disable this feature so that we do not breach our contracts with content providers, and the process for doing this is different for each model.
Screen resolutions - Each device has a different screen resolution which we need to optimise in order to deliver the best picture quality on each device.
Media Player - There are several different built in media players. We must adjust our content stream in order to provide an optimum stream with minimal disruption.
Given these constraints, we have chosen to launch on a selection of the most popular Android smartphones based on their sales volumes to ensure as many Sky TV customers as possible can enjoy Sky Go.
We are aware of unofficial versions of Sky Go for Android devices. Please note that these will not be supported by Sky.
Supported Android OS for Sky Go.
At Sky, We have a dedicated team who work continuously on Android development for Sky Go.
Unfortunately due to the nature of the Android platform, manufacturer releases and updates are frequent and sometimes unprecedented. We have to wait for the update to be released before we can begin our testing cycle.
The Sky Go app for Android is available through Google Play for the following devices in the OS range from OS2.2x to OS4.3 (excluding 3.x):*
*The OS must be unrooted & an official build, if your device has a custom ROM Sky Go will not work.
