I have Sky Original Bundle. What should I be able to watch on Sky Go?

    I am having difficulty using Sky Go to watch anything at all. I was initially using the wrong browser (Chrome) and then I had a problem because my Sky Go account was not properly lnked to my main Sky account. I fixed these issues (I think) but I still haven't been able to watch anything on Sky Go (tried on both an Android Tablet and on Firefox Browser). When I try to watch something sometimes it tells me that I need to upgrade my package and sometimes it just says Sky Go is having problems please try again later.

    Anyway just in case I have gotten the wrong idea entirely: What should I be able to watch on Sky Go with the cheapest Sky package (Original Bundle)? I have searched the Sky Website and I find it hard to find a definitive explanation of what I should and shouldn't be able to do with this package.

    I have UPC internet if that makes a difference.

    Catchup Tv and On Now, at a guess. Boxsets require a HD sub. Sky only mention IE and Firefox.

    Thanks for the reply. I reckoned I should be able to watch live TV at any rate but after it failed to work I wondered if I just had the wrong subscription. I will keep trying.

    One of the above views has information that some TV dramas coming to Sky TV will have the whole series for Sky Box Sets
    They are 'the tunnel season 2' and 'billions'

    So if you the original bundle in SD you may have to wait over 8 weeks to see a whole series

    I am so glad I cancelled Sky TV for Now TV as you get the complete Sky TV Entertainment bundle TV of catch up and sky box sets for 9euros per month
    Sky TV is a major rip off. Now TV is fluid sky TV viewing on the cheap legally.

    Can you actually get Now TV in Ireland (South). Their website says not.

    It's not available here officially which as we all know means that using it here is breaking the terms of service.
