You can get the Sky Go App completely free from the Apple App Store. To view the Sky TV channels on your iPhone or iPad, you must have a subscription to Sky TV. The programmes you will be able to watch will obviously depend on which Sky TV package you are on but could potentially include up to five Sky Sports channels and Sky News. If you are on a Movies packages then you will also be able to watch films live on your iOS device.

As well as pausing and rewinding, the Sky Go App also features a programme guide which opens in one corner of your device window. That means you can scan for other Sky TV programmes without leaving the channel you are currently viewing.

More channels will be added to the service over the next few months, and, from August, Sky Go will be opened up to people who don’t have a Sky TV package. There will a charge of between £15 and £40 for non-Sky TV customers to use Sky Go but we’re guessing there will be a good few takers.

Currently Sky has a customer base of just over 10 million but, by opening up the Sky Go App to non-Sky customers, the company will gain access to millions more people on the move.

The renewed £400 million deal is now in place for a further three years and viewers will hardly notice any difference in the coverage on ITV and Sky TV. The only schedule alteration is that ITV will in future show a match on Tuesday night rather than Wednesday as it has done so far.

ITV and Sky TV will split most of the matches up between them, but the final will be screened by both broadcasters.

Sky TV is thought to put more money into the deal than ITV; Sky is estimated to stump up around £240 million of the £400 million football contract.

Some sources suggest that both Sky TV and ITV have paid less this time around than they did for the previous Champions League football deal. It is forecast that the BBC will decrease the amount they spend on screening sporting events which reduces the amount that other broadcasters are prepared to offer.

The managing director of Sky Sports, Barney Francis, gave details of the football schedule that they will screen under the new contract: “We will show up to 15 live matches a week, with a choice of live matches, and a full round up of all the week’s action on Wednesday nights.”

The new contract between Sky TV and ITV is set to commence in the latter half of 2012 and continue through to 2015.

This Sky TV blog told you ages ago that from the 1^st October the new Sky TV 3D channel would be offering the Ryder Cup golf tournament live on its inaugural weekend. We also brought you details of which movies Sky TV would be showing on the 3D channel launch weekend. Of course you will remember we told you that Aliens, Harry Potter and Alice would all be showing on the new channel’s launch. (Alice is that girl from Wonderland if you were wondering who the blog is Alice)

In football during October and November you can look forward to Barclays Premier League derby games from north London, Merseyside and Manchester. There will also be international football hitting a Sky TV screen near you in the channel’s first few months.

November will see Audley Harrison fight the first 3D boxing match in the world and Rugby Union fans can see England square up to South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

Sky 3D’s Channel Director, John Cassy,  is certainly enthusiastic. He says, “Sky 3D will totally change the way entertainment is viewed in homes across the country. The launch of the channel is the just the beginning, 3D has arrived and will change TV forever.”

The Oval Test Match will become the 150th live England Test Match to be screened by Sky and we certainly hope that both Sky and England go on to reach their double ton.

To mark this sporting and Sky broadcasting achievement Sky Sports asked their famous commentators and ex-Test cricketers to choose their favourite England Test from the 150 that Sky TV have shown.

The first live England Test that Sky screened was against the West Indies at Sabina Park way back in 1990 and that is the Test that ex-bowler Bob Willis chose as his most memorable. England won the Test by 9 wickets with an exhausted looking Gus Fraser picking up a 5fer.

David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd went for the 2002 Christchurch Test against New Zealand where Graham Thorpe scored the 3rd quickest double hundred of all time. The England boys declared in the second innings to leave NZ a hefty looking 550 to win. After a lot of nervous moments England eventually came through to win by 98 runs.

It was David Gower, however, who chose the same Test that Yours Truly would also have picked out. The second Test against South Africa at the Wanderers ground in Johannesburg was shown on Sky in 1995 and was one for the cricket connoisseurs. Michael Atherton batted for almost 11 hours to reach 185 not out and save the Test Match – with just a bit of help at the end from wicketkeeper Jack Russell.

Which England Test Match shown on Sky Sports would you have chosen as the most memorable?

Ofcom are claiming that BSkyB, the satellite broadcasting company that runs Sky Digital, has both a motive and an ability to affect adversely the competition in the market for movies. It says that customers could be paying an inflated price for pay-TV films because of the way the current system is weighted to their advantage. If the Competition Commission agrees then people on Sky TV packages could see the price of films reduced in the future.

The referral to the Competition Commission comes as a result of Ofcom’s 3 year investigation of the wider pay-TV system in the UK.

Sky TV, however, have hit back at the allegations and said that Sky TV subscribers are getting a fair deal. They argue that pay-TV should not be thought of as a standalone entity which has no direct competition as they are constantly vying for an audience against cinemas and free television channels.

Sky TV also defended themselves by saying that relatively new players to the film entertainment industry such as LoveFilm, along with the rise of movie viewing on games consoles, is keeping Sky from gaining dominance of the market. A spokesman for Sky said: “There have never been so many ways to access movies, with innovation stretching across a wide variety of channels and platforms, including multiple ways to access Sky Movies.”

Millions of people in the UK have enjoyed the sports channel through Freeview for the past 8 years. Now though, Mr. Murdoch has decided that he needs more money so he has to start charging more for any News Corp content. It’s not unexpected we suppose given previous tactics by News Corp to increase their revenues – but we’re a bit fed up about it all the same. At least though, if you are considering Sky TV deals then you know that we’ll try to help you find the best Sky offers on the market at any time.

The production company behind Sky Sports News, British Sky Broadcasting (almost 40 per cent owned by News Corp at the moment) has explained the move by saying more investment needs to be put into the channel to make a high-definition version – making it the first HD sports news channel in Europe. To pay for that investment they say they need to remove the channel from Freeview and start getting some cash in through subscription customers.

As well as watching on Sky packages, customers of Virgin and TalkTalk TV subscriptions will also still be able to view the Sky Sports News channel.

It does make you wonder whether eventually other channels such as Sky News itself may be taken down a similar path. We’d guess not actually as they probably benefit too much from the publicity that Sky News brings from the sheer number of people that watch it for free.

But you never know…

If you are thinking of Sky TV deals at the moment, or would consider paying for Sky packages to pick up quality channels like Sky Sports News later in the year, then check out the E4S Sky TV Deals section of the site for the best prices.

So after the best part of 2 years Jack is back on Virgin Media. Whether Virgin Media stumped up the “doh” in the new carriage deals to encourage viewers of its entertainment channels back or Sky just realised that it had cost them £25 million in advertising revenue (no small drop in the ocean), we’ll never know.

Will this mean we’ll be any closer to working out what the hell happened to Oceanic Flight 815… I doubt it!!
