But with your other point, yeah, its better for them to release a polished, working product than rush it out when one of the main programs that the app is used for is currently off air.

Sky have bought "cloud" the company that provides a lot of free wifi spots eg-McDonalds, hotels, airports etc. I think you'll soon need a Sky id to use it.

Indeed they did with a view to allowing sky customers to use their service away from home. McDonald's have contracts with the cloud so you will not need to be a Sky customer to use free WiFi there , however I agree with charlie your sky id could well be a possible way to login .

Re: Sky GO channel listing at launch.
I downloaded it to my iPhone and iPod touch last night, works fine great PQ. I can't try it the iPad though as the wife has it and she is on a business trip to Italy until Tuesday.

Re: Sky GO channel listing at launch.
Sigh, i am waiting for it on android.
But even then, my mobile has only 500mb per month, so likely only to be used for odd games.

Colin , Sky bought http://www.thecloud.net/
So if your mobile has Wifi and your in a place were they use The Cloud you'll be able to watch Sky Go , example taking the kids to McDonalds you'll be able to watch the match as they use The Cloud for Wifi. I've only tried it at home on my Wifi but the PQ and the iOS app is excellent on my iPad.

Ahhh. My dumb. I rarely use wifi, though my phone can use it.
I've never played with it, but must do that. Thanks.

Re: Sky GO channel listing at launch.
I swear McDoanlds used BT OpenReach (or BT whathaveya) the one time I used WiFi in there. Maybe more than one internet supplier.
