Sky Stream has arrived in Ireland

Sent in by a family member. Anybody know what "Please wait for more to download" is about?

When my contract is up I’m sending back my Sky stream as I can’t record or catch up BBC.Getting a freesat box.

Hi all, can anyone tell me if I should be able to watch Premier Sports on Sky Go if I subscribe to Sports Extra? I can watch it fine on the puck and the channels show up in my Sky Go, but if I try to watch it on Sky Go I get a message about needing to upgrade my subscription. TNT Sports works fine on Sky Go.

For my 2 cents worth I recently got Sky Stream and am very happy with it in general. For me it was an upgrade from Saorview and flaky weather-dependent Freesat, on separate built-in TV decoders that I was constantly having to retune the channels on, and Now TV for live sports, movies and box sets. I love having these in one interface and the “recording” is actually an upgrade for me since I couldn’t record at all before (I could have rigged up a hard drive to the TV to record Saorview and Freesat but I really wasn’t bothered).

Cheers I’ll ring them. Just wanted to check I wasn’t missing something before I spent ages on the phone.

Its working on Sky Go for me right now.

Sky Stream will work on any broadband connection. I use it on Virgin Broadband and very rarely would have an issue. Sky will send out a small box for Sky Stream and not a router unless you are also asking about moving to their broadband service.

Sky's modem can be plugged into the ONT you already have. Virgin's SIRO connection is compatible with other SIRO providers of which Sky is. I did the reverse swop no problem and have since jumped to Vodafone and all without any issue.

Has anybody had issues with sky stream (or indeed, glass) not working when Storm Eowyn knocked the broadband out. Arguably one of the reasons your TV and broadband provider should be as separate as possible

Yes you can't record with Sky stream.

It's odd. If I have something added to the playlist from Channel 4, sometimes it will redirect to the Channel 4 player while other times it's a recording of Channel 4 with the ads and Channel 4 DOG included.

Does anyone know how much storage comes with the Virgin Media TV 'Cloud storage'? It doesn't seem to mention on their website at all.

I don't see any number listed. I've recorded maybe ten series, and I'm showing at 11% of capacity, so it's unlikely to be a problem. But you might be better on the VM Play box thread.

Sky Stream is better than the VM Play box in terms of the interface. There's no 'record' facility, but when you do add something to your playlist, and then click into the episode, it does pop up immediately and starts playing.

If you have the 'skip ads' option (which was free to new customers for the first year) then you can skip right to the start.

Answered above.
