Sky go on Android Jelly Bean

muskieman

I have just read that sky go is now available on Android jelly bean(as of yesterday),so does this mean that if I was to purchase any tablet which ran jelly bean would I be able to watch sky on the device once I had installed the skygo app from play store?

Thought that would be the case.
Been looking at the nexus 7,any idea where the cheapest place to purchase would be?

Cheapest place for 16GB Nexus 7 seems to be Google play. The shops(that have any left) seem to only sell 32GB version.

If you open a very credit account you can get 10% discount, they offer buy now pay later but not sure if this applys to new customers, but you could still spread the cost if need be interest free over 3 months.

Its only 32g they sell at £199.

If you can afford it,go for the 32gb.

With no Micro SD slot 32 GB is a far better buy .

Sadly Sky has broken Sky Go on Nexus devices with the 4.2.2 update.

Apparently Sky has the Android app so locked down that it cannot accommodate minor OS point releases and Sky then takes months to catch up.

Sky has admitted the failure is by design but they also had sufficient lead time to have avoided the problem before the point release.

I wonder how quickly they'll offer refunds to Sky Go Extra subscribers for what is now a useless service?
