Back in June,the UK’s Sky TV said we would see an Android version of its mobile viewing Sky Go app, and while it may not have arrived in time to fall back (in Europe, don’t ask us to explain DST around the world, it makes our heads hurt) the company says it’s still on track. Telling Tech-Radar the app is still due “in the coming months”, Sky has already indicated in a recent earnings report that it has more than 1.6 million viewers of its aggregated mobile VOD on iOS. Speaking of, iOS users will be getting a new app designed to work alongside the Sky Movies channel. It can show what movies are on the channel at the moment, schedule recordings, display info on movies in theaters, and even launch streaming flicks in the Sky Go app when it hits iTunes next week. The screenshot above gives a hint of what it will look like and expect more like it — the company plans more individualized companion apps that work together, as opposed to the all-in-one approach of a DirecTV or TiVo.
Sky mobile apps on the way include Movies channel companion for iOS, Go for Android originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:19:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
