Only due to the fact the 4.4 is not support yet hopefully it won't be long, I'm hoping they only had 4.3 to work with and 4.4 wasn't available for testing etc.

Unless there is something you need in KitKat you could roll back to 4.3?

I guess. Just more faff. I was really looking forward to watching sky sports on my Nexus as soon as it came out though.:rolleyes:

I guess my expectations were just too high.

You can only watch sky sports on tv anywhere on a laptop not a mobile device.

I know. I found this out last week, which sort of makes the whole app obselete for em anyway. Big shame.

Is a bit annoying that you can't watch sky premium channels on the app, but it's brilliant for controlling the TiVo box.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App

So you can only use the app when connected to wifi?

It's not an 'anywhere' app at all then. Crap.

Edit: No Sky premium content either. That makes it a lot worse than crap!

Not really, more like 'tv nowhere'.

That's been the case since it launched for iOS, and says it all over the content for TV Anywhere e.g http://store.virginmedia.com/discove...app/watch.html

Take a peek at all these live channels you can watch right on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. You just need to have them in your TV package and be able to connect to WiFi.

Pages will be updated to reference the Android app shortly

Been waiting all this time and then the two things that would make it useful aren't available.

Silly of me to think it would be any different really. :rolleyes:

The lack of 3G streaming is astounding really, you'd think it would be a minimum requirement for an app called 'TV anywhere'

Re: TV Anywhere Android App

Streaming doesn't work on my phone - which makes it no better than TiVo Commander which we had 18 months ago. In fact TiVO Commander was a lot quicker.

Managed to get streaming to work on my sons tablet, but it streams very few channels (mainly the UKtv ones). It doesn't stream Sky channels like Sky Go does.

Very disappointing.

It streams up to 67 channels including BT Sport. Hardly 'very few'

Re: TV Anywhere Android App

I have a Galaxy S3. I don't see the app in the play store. Is it not available for this phone?
