App Sky Go on Xbox One

Hi Luk396!

From how I understand it, the only way to access Sky Go is through the TV from Sky app on Xbox One and Series X|S consoles.

Xbox One and Series X|S console apps - some apps may not be available in your country/region.

Set up TV from Sky on your Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S - step by step guide, which also mentions:

Please be aware that Sky Go Extra is referred to as TV from Sky when downloading or selecting the app on your console.

So don’t listen to anything that says you need the Sky Go app, as this app isn’t available on Xbox consoles. I believe you can access the service through the Sky app on Xbox One, as long as you’re connected to Xbox Live and have Sky Go Extra on your Sky account.

The Sky Go app is available on compatible smartphones, tablets, laptops etc. Just not on consoles, which explains why you’re unable to find it on your Xbox One.

I hope this information helps!

Here's the official word from Sky about the app on Xbox One.

But that is not confirmation from Sky though is it? Which was my point Sky said this posted by Padre in another thread.

"Hello everyone,

You will have noticed that we currently do not support the Xbox One with Sky Go

We are still looking to extend the distribution of Sky Go, but our main focus is on supporting tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices, as the majority of our 3m+ Sky Go customers can already access Sky content on their TV through their Sky+ HD box.

In addition, developing an app for Xbox One requires a completely new and separate development to the apps we have in market, including the Xbox 360 app. We will continue to review the benefit of creating an App for Xbox One as we do for other new platforms
for Sky Go

Thanks

I didn´t know there is a sky go app. In Germany we have only the sky ticket app which is sadly not for sky go. wish we would have the sky go app for the one...

If you don´t get the app to work I would delete the app, clear the Cache of the console. Also do a power cycle and then reinstall the app. Hope you get the app working again.

Bump...Hi there...has anyone heard whether a Sky Go app for XBO is on the way? I've just upgraded to XBO from 360 without realising that Sky Go is not yet on XBO! So annoyed I'm considering returning my new XBO for full refund!
