robotrobo

when i lost support for my laptop & did a silly thing by trying to reinstall everything , not wanting to spend any money to update my ageing laptop , i was happy to just watch sky go on it , as i have also a use of a i pad.
but i have now lost sky go , i get a message saying google no longer supports sky go , but it says dont worry has others do support it , so i have tried it with internet explorer & firefox , but i still get the same message comeing up !, as anyone got a answer for me ? , or am i going to have to replace the ageing samsung n130 ?.
i hope this makes sense to anyone listening to me , & thankyou in advancefor any help.

A Samsung n-130 will run Windows 7 so you could upgrade the OS

Shy Go should work just fine with XP

Google Chrome has stopped supporting Silverlight so you'll need to use something like Internet Explorer and make sure it has Silverlight installed

You shouldn't be getting a Google Chrome message in IE
I suspect that you need to change your default browser to IE

Go to the Silverlight page using Internet explorer, download and install it

Yes, into bikes, I build engines for race teams these days rather than race myself any more.

Very impressive. I thought I might have a chance of working out who they are but there seem to have been quite a few father/son TT winners over the years so it's not so easy.

I've had Sky Go working through both IE and Firefox.

I'm not a fan of IE but with Firefox you have to enable Silverlight as a plug-in through the Add On's Manager via the menu option (far right of screen)

Google Chrome no longer supports watching TV on this website.
Don’t worry you can keep using this service on your computer via other browsers like Internet Explorer.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this change may cause.

this is the message i am now getting & unable to recieve sky go, up to this week it had been fine, ive tried ie & firefox but to no avail.:(

If your Chrome version is <42 then this should still be a workable option:

I know this is about the BT Sports player, but the same applies for the other Silverlight-based players.
