Sky go app

georgebrown88 · Feb 7, 2013

Hi all, I've just tried to go on my sky go app and it pooped up saying steaming Is unavailable on jail broken devices. Anyone no why the hell sky is saying this? Is there a way around this?. Please help

I had this issue last year. Sky are very uptight when it comes to this. As well as Barclays too. I don't see the problem with it myself but I don't think there is an effective way around it. A tweak called Xcon worked for me for a few weeks but then stopped. You could maybe look into that one

Just read about it mate I installed it but no look. Will be lost without my sky go lol

I know that for iPad. The sky sports news website has a watch live option and that's connected to your sky go app. Of that helps.

If xCon doesn't work, I use a premium app called Flex that has a hack for DirecTV that allows me to use their app, maybe they have one for Sky as well.

I've just done the update for Xcon, when I click on the sky Chanel I want it loads up and normally pops up saying cant stream on jail broken devices its not saying that now it's just staying on the loading Chanel screen this mean the Xcon app needs another update?

The developers of XCon have stated that the techniques employed by Sky are now too complex to bypass by their normal methods. They don't expect to release an update to resolve it, unless something fundamental changes at Sky. There are no known legal hacks to get past it. Sorry
