British Sky Broadcasting has recently announced "Sky Go" - an online TV service that is scheduled to launch in the United Kingdom on July 6. As outlined in a recently published press release, the service allows subscribers to watch live TV (from a wide variety of channels) on a computer or iOS device.
The service will be available for free, for all existing Sky TV customers. And if you're not a Sky TV customer, it will be possible to pay for a Sky Go subscription for between £15 and £40, monthly. Channels already on-board include Sky Sports, Sky Atlantic, MTV and ESPN, and supported mobile devices include the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, running iOS 4 or above.
As outlined in the press release:
Available free to all Sky TV customers, Sky Go will provide flexible access to Sky content across multiple devices including the iPhone, iPad, PC and Mac. Launching on July 6 th , it brings together two existing services: Sky Player, Sky's online TV service, and Sky Mobile TV, the UK's largest mobile TV service, with these services rebranded as Sky Go . Offering even more value from the Sky subscription, this will allow customers to watch live linear channels in line with their subscription while on the move in the UK and Ireland.This service definitely sounds like something UK Apple fans should be excited about. We'll keep you updated on the status of Sky Go, and in the meantime, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments. [via Sky]
