    Sky sports TV works fine so far on a jail broken iPad without the need for xCon.

    Yeah, though that was was you had. Skygo however will allow users extra features, including movies, sky atlantic etc; This app will not function without the workaround.

    go to cydia then manage then sources, tap edit and then the - beside the repo you want to uninstall and delete should pop up, you might be able to just swipe left on the repo aswell to delete it

    press and hold the sleep and home button together until the apple appears and it will restart, add the repo again

    I know that buddy but I was hoping that somebody could let me know if there was a work around app that would let me still watch SkyGo.

    Oh sorry you meant what and not why. Sorry about that. Yes there is a workaround. Just download version 25 of xCon from Cydia and you're good to go

    Just tried that but it didn't work. :confused:

    Went into cydia, found Xcon 25, tried installing it but no icon comes up on my homepage, I get the words "size mismatch" in red appearing when I try installing before it tells me that installation is complete, but as I said there's no icon on homepage.

    Since I updated xcon alias I'm having problems getting apps to open(Facebook, iclarified, speedtest) anyone else having anything similar ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 128 ✭✭underwaterdog



    Works on iPad 2 jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1 with above repo. Version as of today is 36-4.

    Hi everyone,

    SkyGo have just released a new update. The previous update stopped skygo working on jailbroken devices. I have overcome this problem and do not want to go through that again.

    I'm wondering if anyone knows if the new update will mess it all up again.

    Thanks in advance

    i have moved this thread to apple media devices forum.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,208 ✭✭✭✭aidan_walsh


    And merged with the existing Sky Go thread.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,674 ✭✭✭Raoul


    My device was previously jailbroken I then updated to the new ios (so not jailbroken) and now with the new skygo updates it won't work.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15 ddonn


    i think i'll not bother with new sky go update. its working fine as it is so best not to take any chances


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,602 ✭✭✭Luckycharms_74


    I updated to Version 2.1.3 (97380) the other day. It works fine on JB iPhone. I do have xCon Alias installed as well.

    Opened Cydia today and it offered me an xCon update so I said I'd chance a Sky Go update too. Still works fine.
