Watching sky sports on iPad

[DandA]

We have to watch football / tennis sky sports + on our iPads.  But between myself and my husband only one of us can watch at any one time.  The account is in my name, how should I set up my husband to watch - he uses my sky ID. Help please.

This is how Sky Sports+ works as you can only use one device at a time but the other should be able to watch via your TV service so Sky Q, Glass or Stream.

Hello,

you normally need a Sky Go Extra or Multiscreen subscription, which bumps your limit from one stream to two (or more). You can often get Sky Go Extra for free by checking the "Sky VIP" section of the My Sky app on your phone. If you don't have that, a quick workaround is to have one of you watch on the Sky Go app and the other watch on the Sky Sports app—the system sometimes counts these as separate slots. For the best setup, you should create a Secondary Sky ID for your husband on the Sky website so he can log in with his own email without affecting your main account settings.

Sorry @bettyparker but I'm not sure that is correct as we are not talking about the Sky apps themselves but the Sky Sports+ streams when multiple football games are being shown at the same time as you can not use multiple devices to watch these games across different devices.
