Is watching on PC possible?

 I have a Sky Stream Puck, works fine but can I watch on separate PC in same network as well, not concurrently.

Windows, Mac, iOS or Andriod,

Linux no 🙂

Yes via Sky Go

With Sky Go you can stream live, on demand and catch up content from Sky on your phone, tablet, laptop or computer with the Sky Go app. Watch around your home or while you’re out and about at no extra cost to your TV subscription.

Stream on two devices at the same time and download your favourite shows and movies over WiFi before you leave home to watch offline.

And if you’ve got the Whole Home monthly subscription, you can stream on four devices at the same time with Sky Go and watch Sky TV on your games console by downloading TV from Sky.

Any Sky Stream pucks don’t count as one of your Sky Go devices.

Thanks Lettice,

Finally worked this out, but not on PC that runs Linux (Raspberry Pi 4). Not sure why they seem to support every other type of device but not this one 😞

Seems Sky uses either Silverlight DRM or some kind of HTML5 EME to encrypt its content and an ARM CPU simply isn't an option. Silverlight never seen that for Linux yet, could be wrong but I think this is the issue on the PI 😞

Looks like going to have to get an android phone to just sit there acting as a skygo box 🙂

Thanks all for suggestions.

Silverlight hasn't been a thing for about five years: it was used back when it was possible to stream Sky into a web browser.  Sky Go appears to use Cisco VideoGuard, as does other Sky hardware platforms.
