    Hi guys, i recently saw that i can use Skygo on my pc and it seems a good little feature to be able to access, however i was wondering would it eat in to my bandwidth usage cap.
    many thanks

    Each movie is around 900mbs as which are on the movies for demand live tv on the other hand couldn't tell you only one way to find out...

    Check your balance and watch sky go for 10 mins and check it again.

    Of course it would. How much depends on the quality of the stream and how much your limit is.

    Thanks for the info guys, my limit is 300 GB, so i may be ok to use it with all my other internet usage, i just don`t know really :confused:.
    may give it a try for a day or so and see where i stand.

    to put it into context mate, to use 300gb , you'd want to be waching 10 movies a day, everyday, for the entire month! don't worry about xbox or online play, you'd be doing well to use 3gb let alone 300!!

    About 5MB per minute for video streaming is a good average. Quintuple this for HD content.

    Video streaming video alone won't but dent your allowance of 300GB. You literally would need to be watching all day every day.
