 Now Sky just needs to update Sky Go to support the iPhone 5's screen!
 
[Although it's not alone... BBC, ITV, C4, and Five have all been rather lame regarding updating their catch-up apps for the iPhone 5]

 I'm not sure if they'd be able to rework the UI to be usable on a smaller mobile screen. Zeebox functionality is much more suited to tablet devices currently in my opinion.

 I asked about this on the Sky help forums and was informed that it's something that is in the works. I guess that the Sky+ app is just the first one to be updated.

			Well after a lot of thought, and many offers from Sky, I have decided to go back to Sky, the half price offer for 12 months could no longer be ignored. Thanks TiVo it's been an experience.
