There are now two ways in which you can enjoy watching Live TV via the new Sky Go! Either jump right in with our Watch TV option, or look for something to watch via our TV Guide. There are some subtle differences between the two, which are explained below, and you can choose the best option for you.
Find something to Watch via the TV Guide
Just like on your existing Sky Go platform, if you aren't too sure what you want to look for, you can browse our TV Guide for something to watch. Its set up with some channel filters, so you can easily locate the types of channels you're in the mood for.
The accompanying iPhone app is useful, too, because the native iOS Clock app doesn’t let you set multiple timers. Timers can be displayed in a variety of ways, and even embedded as watch face. The Sky Go app has been improved to include similar experience features as Sky Q boxes. A continue watching rail makes picking up where you left off - on app or Sky Q - much easier. The description of SKY GO App SKY GO opens up new ways to watch TV and is loaded with easy to use features. Matched to your SKY subscription, you can catch up on On Demand titles or download content to watch when you’re offline. Have the same issue I have been watching Sky Go frequently using Internet Explorer and was forced to download the new Desktop app last night. All looks good until I click in to watch something - audio is working fine however no pictures just a blue screen after rotating circle in middle of screen disappears. Stream and download great TV, films and live sport with the all-new Sky Go app. A brand-new design makes it quicker for Sky TV customers to find and enjoy the very best TV, plus enjoy recommendations just for you and easy switching between compatible devices.

New Sky Go App Not Working
Tapping or clicking on our Watch TV button takes you directly in to our Live player, and instantly launches the last stream you viewed. It's a great way to be able to pick up exactly where you left off, and you can use the scrub bar to go back a few minutes if you need to.
Introducing your new Live Player!
We've added a few nifty new features to the live TV player, which we hope will make your viewing experience all the more enjoyable!
We've added a 'Live' Indicator
The Live indicator is displayed within our player, and shows you when you are watching the stream live, or in real-time. You can scrub backwards in time, but you won't be able to fastforward. It's our way of showing you at a glance where you are in the stream, so if you hear your neighbours cheering and aren't sure why, it's easy to check if you're watching the up to date coverage, or you're a few minutes behind!
