PS3 as well as PS4?
yep..
Compatible mobiles, tablets, laptops, Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4
£5 a month to have Sky Go Extra
Yes, annoyingly not available on Samsung Galaxy Camera, but will work on Galaxy Note. Good that it's out, I won't be trying it because the PS3 is by the Sky box anyway and it's £5 a month but I guess it could be used as a cheaper alternative to multiroom if in bedrooms etc. Sky Go does need a better channel list, Virgin TV Anywhere for example includes the likes of H2, Discovery Science as well as the main Discovery and so called History Channel.
It means that more or less PS3 now has the full on demand lineup from the main UK broadcasters.
I guess they thought they would lose Multi-room subs if they kept it free - and they would be right.
Ironically multi-room subs get Extra for free
Because you're already paying £10.50 so it'd be a bit unfair to have to pay another £5 on top of that to get Sky Go on your games console too! I used to have multiroom at parents, but now wouldn't need it or particularly need to get Sky Go on the PS3, if you had a slim PS3 it could work as a good box to take on holiday for TV however, or would be useful in a teenagers bedroom or something for them to get the Sky channels etc.
The only thing missing is an easier way to resume a box set or catch up programme - seems the quickest way is to search everytime amd remember what ep you were upupto
is there a quicker way?
Lwhat about having a 'last view' tab which has your watching history (last ten items played) you can then choose 'resume / start over / next episode'
basically like Netflix (recently watched) and amazon instant video (watch list / video library)
actually, an option to add / bookmark series to wath later would be good call it 'my bookmarks'
I've yet to meet a Sky customer paying anything more than half price for multiroom. It's one of the first things Sky throw at you if you try to leave
Just wondering if it might be worth £5 a month. Any thoughts appreciated.
Sky sports new hq is in near HD tv quality - the odd frame missing (you can tell its stream not broadcasted)
I know what you mean - watching a live stream via PC has a few frames missing / judders but if you airplay bt sports via a Apple TV, it's very smooth - almost tv quality.
Sky go is just like airplaying stuff from the ipad - ie 720p amd with smooth motion
I also think there's an issue with PCs cos mine outputs 60HZ / 60fps vs tvs 25fps / 50HZ
The app I assume is built to play ok on devise like. The ps3
