Published 10/6/2011:
Sky is to launch Sky Go on July 6th, bringing together Sky Mobile and Sky Player. Available on iPhone, iPad, PC and Mac, the service is free for all Sky subscribers.
It will also be available to non-Sky TV subscribers for a monthly subscription from August.
The service delivered to PC or Mac will feature live and on-demand content from more than 30 channels, including the Sky Sports channels, Sky Movies, Sky Atlantic, Sky 1 and ESPN.
If you watch via iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch you will be limited to live content from ESPN, Sky News, Sky Sports News and the Sky Sports channels.
Each Sky home will be able to register up to two devices for Sky Go.
Subscription costs for non-Sky TV subscribers will be between £15 and £40, depending on your channel selection.
Sky customers will also soon be able to benefit from the company's purchase of The Cloud, a wi-fi network found in over 4,500 public locations across the UK.
Sky content will also remain on Xbox and Fetch TV but will be rebranded as Sky instead of Sky Player.
Comments
The new app is there now.
Presumably to stop someone publishing their username and password on t'internet and allowing the whole world to watch Sky for nothing.
Why only 2 devices? We have 2x iPhones, an iPad and a laptop in the family. Why can't I watch it on all of these devices?
I can stream a 45gb blu-ray iso from my nas to tv, so why cant they do it.
Comedy Gold!
Sky and other places like this make me laugh, They still cant even sort out my Anytime + Service on my amstrad 780 box, also again its 2011 and no HD content on-line like love film.
If I was able to get HD stuff I would buy from love film, I am sure my 13mb connection would be able to handle it.

It's a fiver per month at the moment for Sky subscribers.
Hi. Does the Sky Mobile TV cost just now? Have an iPad and will install it if it's free. Already Sky subscriber.

No Android mobile app then? <Sigh>
