Sky do it all wrong...

Theres no doubt that sky have an excellent T.V service (apart from not having bbc iplayer, 4OD etc.). But sky go is an absolute shambles as was sky player, who ever sets it up and comes up with the ideas needs sacked. Why can i only have 2 devices registered? i want my mac, iphone, xbox, and pc registered but i cant and why? well no reason at all! apart from sky thinking im giving out my details to others so they can get the same crap quality, lower than SD, sky go i get! Well no! its not on, sky have the worst mobile on demand service ever!

As opposed to what other mobile services? TVCatchup are the only company who support more than one device and no other company even offers live TV so far as I know.

If you want it across multiple devices, get a Slingbox or wait until mobile networks start offering more than 1kb of internet so that content providers will see how big the opportunity is.

Well I totally disagree , I have my IPad setup and my smartphone and the quality is excellent , looks especially good on the iPad. My only gripes are it needs more channels adding to mobile devices and an on demand feature but this will arrive sooner or later.
