Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

Just had a letter saying these are free on my package from mid August. It says the apps are for the Iphone + Ipad (Apple). Will there be apps or will these actually work on my Windows 8 Laptop?

It is promoting the apps as they are new

You have been able to access Sky Movies and Sky Sports via a web browser on a PC via TV Anywhere since it launched at www.virginmedia.com/tvanywhere

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

You already have access to the Sky Sports and Movie channels, assuming you are subscribed, through the browser version of TV Anywhere on your laptop. This has always been the case.

The letter advises that this has been extended to phones and tablets, not through the TV Anywhere apps but through Sky's own apps which now allow logon through your Virgin Media id.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

is the TV Anywhere free then? I have never used it and yes I subscribe (VIP).

I see - it isn't an app - just a webpage. I tried logging on but got Oops… Something went wrong.

I'll keep trying

Will it be on android???

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

Coming soooooooon :LOL:

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

isnt it always coming soon!!! especially android

still waiting on the PS4 announcement

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

Considering how many Android phones VM sell you would think they would be able to sort this. They have used the Sky app for the Iphone so why don't they use the Sky app for the android ??????

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

defintely, do apple has som kind of agreement to delay release, this happened with the tv anywhere app too. took ages. or is just more difficult on android?

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

The Sky app for Android doesn't do the same as the one for iOS at the moment.

It's mainly more difficulty in targeting Android devices - fragmentation is worse than on iOS

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

To be fair its probably never been a massive issue before because Sky's own Sky Sport customers with Android can watch these channels via the Sky Go app.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

how do I find out my Virgin Media id

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

It's the email address you login to My Virgin Media with.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

January 2015 according to the TV ads. Could be a bit earlier as the ad also says iOS in August but thats already out.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

Can someone clarify but doesn't this mean I've just lost the ability to watch sky sports on my android phone now? Before I could do this through virgin tv anywhere and they are spinning this as a positive change?!

Re: Sky Sports & Movies apps
 

You are wrong. Sky Sports was never available through the Android or iOS version of TV Anywhere.

It was available via the browser version of TV Anywhere.
