Sky Go now allows 6 devices!

An improvement, but per-device limits are a joke anyway in 2019. It should work like Netflix where there's a simultaneous maximum (e.g. you can watch on 2 or 4 devices at the same time), but as soon as one of them stops watching, you can use another device.

This isn't a 'Deal'.

Should be moved to Misc.

Good info, why don’t they just tell us this

Good to hear, would love it if they added the ability to cast too.

While better than what it was, I always wish they were stream based as opposed to device based, similar to Netflix

But with sky go extra through Xbox one looks reasonable tho?

Increased to 6 on Sky Q app too

You know hukd has hit rock bottom, when information becomes the hottest deal of the day

The 48 hour limit on downloads annoys me. You watch half a movie on a flight somewhere, then try to watch the other half on the way back and it tells you it's expired.

Oh dear, looks like being a slave to windows hasn’t worked out so well.

Same here especially without la liga anymore not worth it, the only reason I want sky is for the footy so once my current contract runs out that’s me gone for good. Netflix and prime do rightly

Yup.

Heat form me. What's not to like? 6 is better than 4, even if it's not perfect. Nice find OP.

NowTV still limited to 4, which is pathetic.

It's now 6 according to This Deal

Couldn’t agree more but that’s too simple. This generates money for them, at some point they’ll do that.. they always seem to go through increments instead of doing the best option straight from the getgo

I agree, its a joke that they don't allow this as I regularly cast from my phone to my TV with the BT Sport app.

I use to be a Sly TV customer never again far far far too expensive ✌

I was actually referring to your comment regarding it being moved, hence the quotation.

I think it's great they added this. Just don't like how people feel the need to put a negative on it with their rule book regarding where it should be posted. Who cares? Many people wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

Sky Go - Allows you to watch sky on 2 device mobile/tablets/laptops only and not able to download.

Sky Go Extra - can be used on 6 devices mobiles/laptops/tablets/PS4/Xbox ect and able to download programs for offline use.

I have the full package that is sky q, uhd, 2 boxes, sports, movies basically everything for £55 a month. That also includes the top tier subscription to Netflix now as well which is worth £10 or £12. So it's more like £45 for full sky package.

I know people who pay that just for a mobile phone or in road tax. So to get all that content is a good deal.
