Sky Go (formerly known as
Sky Player,
Sky Anytime on PC and
Sky By Broadband) is an online television service from
Sky which launched in January 2006. The service allows users to watch live and
on demand video content from their
Mac,
Windows PC, mobile phone,
Xbox 360,
PlayStation 3 or
PlayStation 4 via a broadband or
Wi-Fi internet connection. On demand content comprises sports highlights, latest news, movies and TV programmes. Content is viewable for a limited amount of time and is protected by
digital rights management software provided by
Microsoft and the
NDS Group, and therefore cannot be copied to disc or viewed beyond the date carried by its license. The service is available at no extra cost to existing Sky TV customers, with accessible content depending on the subscriber's Sky package. Non-Sky TV customers can access the service by subscribing on a
pay-per-view basis.
