Sky Mobile TV launches on iPhone

Posted on 10 Nov 2009 at 12:15

Sky today announced the availability of the Sky Mobile TV App on the App Store. The new app allows users to stream live TV via WiFi and the channels available include all Sky Sports channels, Sky Sports News, Sky News, ESPN and At The Races.

To view live TV, customers will need to subscribe to the Sky Mobile TV service. This costs £6 a month, and you don't need an existing Sky subscription to sign up, making this by far the cheapest way to keep up with your side.

The app allows users to browse the Sky Mobile TV electronic programme guide for free and see what's on over the next 24 hours.

This means that sports fans will be able watch coverage of all live televised Premier League, and Scottish Premier League games, as well as live coverage of international and domestic cricket, PGA European Tour Golf and Guinness Premiership Rugby. There will also be live breaking news from Sky News.

David Gibbs, General Manager for Mobile at Sky, said: "In less than a year we've already seen millions of downloads of Sky's Apps from the App Store. Our new Sky Mobile TV App combines the demand for great live TV on the move with the high quality viewing experience offered by iPhone and iPod touch. Sky Mobile TV offers more choice, control and flexibility for customers ensuring they can access the content they want, at a time that's convenient to them, on the screen of their choosing."

The Sky Mobile TV App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
