Netflix and Lovefilm might be cheaper but SKY's content puts them to shame. This is the service people wanted and hoped Netflix and Lovefilm would be.

I agree , it will be interesting to see pricing models when entertainment and sports get added. Being slightly critical for the service to become a huge success HD needs to be added to all devices.

100% agree, HD is a must for this service to really work

I just realised, you will probably be on Jellybean by the time the ICS app is released!

I was going to get a Nexus 7 for Sky Go but I doubt it will be on there any time soon so might give it a miss

I actually have access to those via my TV and games console however it's great news for those with Sky+HD who do not have access , there's plenty more to come this year yet

2012 really is a great year for Sky.
