Officially Sky Go can only be used at the registered account holders address but I don't think there is anything from stopping you doing this as I don't believe this is something that Sky crack down on that I know of .

Is this written in terms and conditions or anywhere else please? I found it for sharing at home but not for Sky go.

It is in breach of Skys T&Cs, if you live at a different address then you need your own Sky account

Thanks for the reply but can you clarify please as I thought Sky go is intended for use away from home ,ie travel etc ?

It is but only for people who live in the same household (address of where the account is registered)

Your daughter has her own house thus needs her own Sky account

So if she was at university for example but still registered as living at home ,she would be ok. But as she is living in her own home it is not allowed legally?

@pjs4

I'd observe that the T&Cs are fairly uninformative, but the key condition would appear to be 3.2.2 :

3.2 To access and use the Service you must:

3.2.1 Be 18 years old or over.

3.2.2 Subscribe to Sky TV or have an active Sky Q set-top box.

3.2.3 Accept the terms and conditions set out in this Contract.
