Sky Go Extra ups the device limit to 4 (great for families) and also offers a download option so you can download as many movies, sports & TV shows that your device will hold! This would be great for the commute or plane journeys etc.

This upgraded service will cost £5 a month (less than Netflix) and allows you to have the latest movies and TV shows available to download as soon as they air in the UK - in many instances this is over a year earlier than the more expensive Lovefilm & Netflix.
I used to be able to download programs with Sky Go to watch offline but now i can only stream so it's only any good if there is an internet connection .The difference is we are being asked to pay for watching offline and 2 extra devices .This is the email sent to me yesterday

We've changed Sky Go –
but we're giving you something extra
Hello , We've changed the way Sky Go works, which means you can no longer download movies and shows to your PC, Mac or laptop to watch offline. You're still able to stream live and on demand though, at no extra cost. To give you an even better offline viewing experience, there's new Sky Go Extra • Register up to four devices, including mobiles and selected tablets, and download to them all • Then watch offline and on the move – no more signal interruptions or buffering We're giving it to you free for 3 months. And if you love it as much as we think you will, it's easy to keep and great value at just £5 extra a month. If it's not for you, don't worry, we'll automatically remove it on
21 April. To enjoy Sky Go Extra, just update the Sky Go app or go to go.sky.com You'll see the new download feature there waiting for you.

The Sky Team
