Sky go better quality

[apple5678]

Seriously, how are we still dealing with low resolution on Sky Go in 2025?

Other streaming services are giving us Full HD and even 4K as standard — meanwhile, Sky Go still looks like it’s stuck in 2012. Whether it’s sports, movies, or live TV, the quality just isn’t good enough anymore. It's frustrating when we're paying premium prices but getting potato-quality streams on mobile and desktop.

Any word on when Sky will finally update Sky Go to support at least 1080p (or better yet, 4K)? It’s long overdue.

Would love to hear if anyone else feels the same, or if there’s any update from the Sky team.

If you want better streaming then wouldn't Sky Glass / Stream be better than Sky Go?

 'Other streaming services' are app-only, so by definition need to deliver high quality into their software platforms or potential users won't subscribe.  Sky Go is always an add-on to a Sky Television hardware subscription, and realistically just isn't regarded by the powers-that-be as a priority compared to development time spent on Glass / Stream (particularly now Go is a legacy of the pre-Comcast era)

And I'd add that because Go is 'free' to the vast majority of Sky subscribers, I suspect it's seen as a cost to the company rather than an income generator...
