Skygo on Xbox 360
« on: 02 January 2014, 09:02 »
Thinking of buying a used 360 purely to watch skygo on, any reviews?? Decent quality? Do I need a xbox live subscription?

I currently watch it on my laptop hooked thru my tv, but my laptop is old and can't keep up! Now that I do 99% of stuff on my ipad, I don't see the point in buying a new laptop purely for skygo...

Thanks in advance

chances are you need xbox live, need it for pretty much everything else. only thing i really think you can do over the internet without live is update the software on your xbox.

Waste of money mate u could get Apple TV or a mini pc for less like a raspberry pi for 29.99 bit of tweaking and it's the business and as he said you would need xbl with a 360 which is and extra 30

Apple TV won't support skygo, else I would have gone down that route.

Skygo needs silver light so can't see a pi being able too do the job.

A second hand 360 wud only set me back £75... Plus £30 a yr. prob my best/cheapest option

You are correct about Apple TV I thought it did work but after reading it doesn't!! However the raspberry pi will run sky go via xbmc no problem at all :)

The NowTV box looks so much better on paper than the AppleTV and only 1/10 of the price.
The NowTV box is based on the Roku box, but with some customisation. It has all the OnDemand services (BBC iPlayer/4OD/Demand5/etc but no ITV) that the Apple doesn't have, plus the ability to install a few apps.
The downside is that you're locked to Sky for movie content whereas the Apple is locked to iTunes or Netflix.

I see no mention that the NowTV box does SkyGo though.

I don't want to pay for another sky subscription, I already have the full sky pack at home, I need skygo so I can watch it when I'm at work (I work away mon-fri).  As said, I don't think skygo works on now tv, it wouldn't make sense if it did either/wouldn't be in skys interest.

Thanks for your opinions, xbox it is me thinks.... Does anyone know if it's good quality and stable on the xbox? Cheers
