Sky Mobile TV launches on iPhone

Sky Mobile TV launches on the iPhone today allowing users to stream live TV – with channels including all the Sky Sports channels, Sky Sports News, Sky News, ESPN and At The Races – via WiFi.

App users can browse the Sky Mobile TV electronic programme guide for free and see what’s on over the next 24 hours. To view live TV, users must subscribe to the Sky Mobile TV service for £6 a month and register for a Sky customer ID (Sky iD).

Sky Mobile TV joins the broadcaster’s other apps including Sky+ Remote Record, Sky News, Sky Sports Cricket Score Centre and Sky Sports Football Score Centre.

David Gibbs, general manager for mobile at Sky, said: “In less than a year we’ve already seen millions of downloads of Sky’s Apps from the App Store. Our new Sky Mobile TV App combines the demand for great live TV on the move with the high quality viewing experience offered by iPhone and iPod touch.

“Sky Mobile TV offers more choice, control and flexibility for customers ensuring they can access the content they want, at a time that’s convenient to them, on the screen of their choosing.”

MediaTel Group is hosting a seminar on the ‘Future of Mobile’ in London on Wednesday 9 December, with tickets just £99 if booked by 20 November.
