Sky Q Go App

Posted on  by 



There was a dedicated Sky Q mobile app too, but that has since been integrated into Sky Go. With the various devices, the overall Sky Q experience is all-encompassing, letting you watch what you. The app needs Sky Go Extra to see recordings on the Sky Q box, but only if you actually buy multiroom (which comes with Sky Go Extra, rather than obtaining Sky Go Extra via indirect methods such as redeeming a VIP reward). Control your Sky Q box (UK) from your smartphone or tablet. Change channel, go to home screen, search etc. Works over wifi/IP not infrared. The Sky Go app is available for all Sky TV customers at no extra cost, so you can watch Sky on the go on your mobile, tablet or laptop.

Access even more unmissable entertainment on Sky Q with apps like Netflix, YouTube and BBC iPlayer.

The Sky Q 1TB and 2TB boxes both allow you to access popular apps like Netflix, YouTube and Spotify, so you can stream your favourite songs, browse the latest viral videos, and enjoy acclaimed originals alongside the great content in your Sky TV package.

How do I download apps on Sky Q?

You don’t actually need to download any apps onto your Sky Q box.

All of the available apps can be found under the Apps heading which you can access by going to the homepage and scrolling down through the options on the left side of the screen.

  • Scroll down to the settings tab and then select system info > software version
  • Choose setup and then software download

Sky Ultimate TV gets you the basic Netflix package, which means you can stream in SD to one device at a time, and better integrates the service into its interface.

You’ll find recommendations for content on Netflix alongside those for Sky shows and can resume what you’ve been watching on Netflix from the Sky Q homepage without having to open up the app.

There’s also Sky Go Extra which is available for an additional £5 a month or for free for those who purchase Sky Multiroom. With this upgrade, you can stream to two devices simultaneously and download content for offline viewing so you don’t have to rely on patchy public wifi or let streaming eat up your data.

Sky Q has led the charge in 2016 when it comes to telebox goodness, with the brilliant Sky Q service.

And now with the new Sky Q mobile app, you can take your favourite Sky Q shows and movies wherever you go.

Sky already offered an iPad app for Sky Q, but at last there’s an app for iPhone and Androids too, so pretty much every Sky subsscriber can remotely access the box, set up recordings, stream content and enjoy some TV boxsets on the go. Here’s everything you need to know.

Difference Between Sky Q And Sky Go App

To access the Sky Q app’s offerings you’ll need a Sky Q box, Sky TV and more specifically Sky Q subscription.

Setting up the Sky Q mobile app is easy. Simply download the app for iOS or Android, from the App Store or Google Play. Accept the usual permissions and once done, open the app up when your phone’s connected to your home WiFi network. The app should automatically detect the Sky Q box that’s on the same Wi-Fi network and then present you with all of the features you’ll need.

It’s worth noting that if you want to access your recordings from the app, you’ll need to have a Sky Q Multiscreen subscription.

Sky Q app: Recording and streaming

The Sky Q app allows you to record shows onto your smartphone to be watched when away from the home, or to stream them when on the same Wi-Fi network. To record and watch on the go you’ll need to make sure the phone is loaded up from home before you leave the house as you can’t record directly to the phone when out and about.

When you’ve decided on what you want to download, after browsing the app much like you do the Sky Q box, you have download options. You can download to your Sky Q box in SD or HD, choose to download to the phone or play it there on the smartphone.

Streaming at home is near instant and the quality is high to suit most modern high-res smartphone displays. This works for live TV as well as On Demand programmes. You can drag the progress bar to move anywhere in the show. If you’ve been watching on the Sky Q box the app will continue the show from where you left off seamlessly.

If you get back home, midway through a show you recorded to your phone, don’t worry about it not being on the Sky Q box. You’ll be able to access content stored on the phone via the Sky Q box too. The result should be an ability to start on one device and continue on another seamlessly no matter where it’s recorded.

Sky Q app: Remote recording

While you’re not able to download directly to the Sky Q mobile app when out of the house (and therefore out of range of your Sky Q box). the app can still be used to record upcoming shows and movies.

The Sky Q app allows you to set up new recordings, so you can watch them on your return. Once you’re back on your home Wi-Fi network you can either enjoy them on your telly as usual, or download/stream from the Sky Q box to your phone.

You’ll have access to everything you’re subscribed to on Sky right from the app meaning Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and more. Although Sky does say: “Some programmes and recordings are unavailable to watch or download via the mobile app in and out of the home.” Which ones it’s referring to are unclear at this stage.
