Sky Stream

Hi
I'm looking at sky stream and just wondering can you pause itv1 etc
Also do you need whole home if you are just going to watch through a playstation or laptop?

Thanks

    Yes, you can pause live TV but the buffer isn't that big, good for toilet breaks but not for much longer.

    I believe you do need whole home if using games consoles but you can certainly stream Sky Go on mobiles and laptops (2 devices concurrently) without any extra cost.

    If you are moving from another Sky platform make sure you check the channel list as it differs considerably from Sky+ HD and Q.

    Also make sure you understand how the Playlist works, it's not like recording to a Sky box.

    Thanks for the info.
    I currently have BT tv 
    I'm just trying to find the cheapest way to have the entertainment and sky sports.
    Our terrestrial tv reception isn't great, that's what was pushing me to sky stream more than Now tv 
    As with Now tv I would have to watch itv1 through the itvx app etc
