Sky Mobile on N900

Does anyone know if the Sky mobile application will be developed on the N900?  very handy app particularly for those in the UK that had a sky box.
Bagz Rules

The N900 is not very DRM friendly and its user base is far too small for sky to be dealing with..
I would be stunned if it were even on their radar!
Maybe Maemo6 might interest them as they might be able to protect their content.. but in the mean time, it's probably a no go for them
---edit---
and here was me thinking that a lack fo DRM is a good thing..
I use a 2001 Tivo with my sky box.. think sky+ but it's from 2001!!! The great thing is, my N900 (and other media players such as my Archos 705) sync with my Tivo via wifi.. so when I get home, new tv shows get uploaded.. It's custom software, but it beats the **bleep** out of DRM catastrophes!!
I look forward to Virgin's plan to re-introducing the Tivo to the UK some time this year after some 9 years away!

  • Sky mobile for nokia 6234?

    Hello everyone
    The Nokia 6233 is listed on Sky as compatible with Sky Mobile on TV yet the 6234 is not. I've checked with Sky and they confirm this but don't know why. I thought they were supposed to be the same 'phone, except the 6234 is specific to vodafone. Has anyone any idea why Nokia hasn't notified the 6234 as available for Sky mobile? Or if there is a way of etting it on the 6234 after all?

    Seems crazy seeing as they're practically the same phone apart from 6234 being Vodafone branded
    Owned: Nokia 3510i, Nokia 3120, Nokia 6230i, Nokia 6233, Nokia N73, Nokia N82.
    Current: Nokia N900!

  • Can anyone help with iPlayer and Sky Mobile?

    Ok, I'm so close to giving up with this useless phone. There are 3 apps on my N97 which give me a constant headache.
    BBC iPlayer
    Sky Mobile*
    YouTube
    *I should point out that I only use Sky Mobile to set recordings on my Sky+. I do not use it for, nor have any desire to use it for actually watching Mobile TV.
    All of these apps work absolutely fine over my home WiFi network. It's when I try to use them over 3G (my Vodafone Live! connection) that I start running in to trouble.
    All 3 give me connection problems, errors, and simply refuse to load half the time when on 3G. I got so annoyed I just did a hard reset the other week, and magically all three started working again. However, now 2 of them are failing me again. YouTube (touch wood) is working fine at the moment, but iPlayer and Sky Mobile just aren't.
    iPlayer sometimes works. But sometimes I get script errors (unable to load content), and sometimes it says something about checking my connection settings. I wouldn't mind but it's not actually possible to access any options for the iPlayer. Even in application settings there are no options you're able to set.
    Sky Mobile simply flat out refuses to work ever on 3G. But it did after I did a hard reset for a couple of weeks, now it just stopped working! It wont even load. It just gives the error message 'Unable to connect to network - please check connection settings" or something along those lines.
    I've tried so many different things. Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live! all the time, tried setting my video streaming settings to WAP, all sorts. Every combination I can think of.
    I just can't wait to get rid of this phone. I've put so many people off buying one. They see it and think it's all swish and cool, and I just say 'Don't. You'll regret it'. I can't wait for my contract to be up so I can upgrade to an iPhone now Vodafone have got them.
    Can anyone help with these problems? Thanks in advance, but I don't hold out much hope...

    About iPlayer.
    Have a chat with Vodaphone. Streaming iPlayer over 3G IS allowed on Vodaphone contract, unlike my O2 contract. As long as your contract allows it, and you have the correct AP address, it should be fine. Vodaphone should be able to give you the setting.
    Mine only works over Wlan.
    FWIW, "... streaming over 3G is not currently available on iPhone handsets on any mobile network".
    p.s. Just to be clear. You say  "Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live!".
    iPlayer uses the Nokia browser "Web". So that's where you should make the setting "Ask when needed". It should then offer you the choice of whatever you've set in Destinations> Internet> then select whatever you've chosen as your GPRS connection.(as advised, or sent to you by Vodaphone).

  • Connecting iPod to TV to play Sky Mobile TV

    I downloaded the Sky Mobile TV application to my 3rd generation iPod Touch with the intention of playing the sport on my tv using an Apple Compositive AV cable.
    My issue is this:
    If i play a movie etc i can play it through my tv so i know its not where i connected the cable. But when i play the SMtv application, only the sound comes up on the screen. No video.
    Any suggestions?

    You can't view applications on a television, only video.

  • Sky Mobile TV and AV Cable

    Hi,
    I recently purchased the Composite AV Cable from the Apple store after being informed that if a video is being played on the iPhone then that video will be displayed on whatever the AV cables are plugged into. I am havng trouble with running Sky Mobile TV and being able to view it on my TV.
    Does anyone have any info about this?
    Cheers

    Cant do that mate, can only play YouTube, Videos stored on your iPhone and view pictures taken on your phone. I tried this also lol.

  • Sky Mobile App Latest Up date

    Hi
    Up till the latest update the Sky mobile worked well on my iphone. However on 4 Feb Sky updated this app and since then the info and channel icons on loading page & programe info are missing. Looking at the Reviews I am not alone, as it appears that there is a problem with this update on iphone using OS 3.1.3 (as my iphone is a early model I can not download a later version.
    Unfortunanly as I did a back up to my computer I can not revert to older version of this app, therefore dose any one know of a way to get the previous version back.
    Also though I have hered that Sky say that will do a further update to fix this problem it has now been 3 weeks and nothing has happened dose any know when this might happen
    The way things are I do not see why I should continue paying £8 a month for app that dose not work right, so unless it is fixed by when this months sub runs out I will unsubsribe (I have already stopped the auto resub), untill either sky fix the problem or I have saved enough, (using the £8 a month I am not paying scy to get a ipod OS4

    I also have the same problem and have been told by Sky that this functionality is not available in the upgraded app and that I can not revert to the old one! Very very frustrating... Have you got the upgraded app - if so, interesting that you mention it works sometimes as that suggests functionality does exist...?

  • Sky mobile TV app

    Hello, I have recently been in touch with sky regarding problems with my sky mobile TV app on my iPhone 6, ios 9. I only get a little area of my screen working with this app, when I contacted sky and reported this I got told someone would be in touch with me about it between 48/72 hours, however I have had 2 missed calls one on the same day and another before 48hours whilst at work, if that is sky getting back to me thank you that was a very quick response, however you haven't yet been back in touch or emailed me with your findings, I'm pretty gutted about this as I would like to use the app to watch football. Please sky let me know what's going on? Thanks

    Sky don't respond to posts as this is a customer to customer forum only.
    You will have to contact Sky directly to progress your issue.

  • How can i restore my mobile sky tv on iphone

    Hi I have had sky mobile tv on my iphone since it first came out and have not had any problems, I switched on my iphone to watch a football match and it said
    subscriptions lapsed. I can only think that when sky came to collect the subscription the account was closed as i had changed banks in December. I have tried
    to download the app again but i am having trouble.When i get to the point of buying the app it says CONFIRM and i press CONFIRM it then says INSTALLING
    and then a pop up comes up and says (in app purchases not allowed). I have spoken to an apple advisor who say the problem is not with apple but with sky
    who i have contacted several times but i stil have not solved the problem. Can anyone out there help.
                                                                                                 Thanks

    Back to the beginning...
    What do you mean by "documents"?  Word or Pages files, spreadsheet files?
    Also, on your device, in Settings>iCloud, you have to have an on/off setting for Docments&Data.  If not what kinds of entries do you have on that screen?

  • N900, Opera mobile freezes

    Hello,
     My Opera Mobile on N900 freezes and ceases to respond after a few seconds of browsing, 20 secs tops.
    I have CSSU testing, with power kernel 49 (which reportedly makes Opera flicker, but not freeze), but it also happened with 48.
     Any ideas?
     Thanks, Ben
