However those issues have since been solved, and Sky Go is now available on the majority of Android tablets running 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and above.
Two apps can now be found on the Google Play store; Sky Go Tablet has been optimised for 7 and 10 inch tablets. Some users have reported issues with the Google Nexus 7, but Sky has said it is working to fix these issues.
The already live Sky Goapp is best suited for use on Android smartphones.
The Asus Transfomrer TF101 tablet and Amazon Kindle Fire are still unable to support the service.
