 Can't say I'm surprised if I'm honest , from a business stance they probably feel it loses them revenue from potential multiroom sub's so basically if you want to use Sky Go on a gaming device its either pay £5 for Sky Go extra or get it included with multiroom.

 The sports pack rise is so much more compared to the movie pack,wonder why this is? My guess is it is so less expensive to keep repeating the same old tat that is spewed out on most of the sky film channels than it is to broadcast live sport.
