You can add more devices to your Sky Go account by adding new users.

Log in to Sky's website.

Go to My Sky.

Click Profile & Settings, then additional users and add in a new person. Voila two new devices can now be added.
[Android Apps and Games] thehobbit:
Unfortunately that doesnt allways work as secondary users share devices with the main username, which is the way is meant to be.
[Android Apps and Games] ferraridave:
When you install most custom kernels, SU, Busybox and a custom recovery get installed with it, but when you install a stock kernel it installs/overwrites just the kernel and the stock recovery, so SU and busybox remain, so via SU you still have root privilages, hope this explains it for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Lennyuk:

[Android Apps and Games] dave_uk:
Right....well, basically, you lot ****ing rock!

Couldn't get this to work for love nor money on my SGS2 despite flashing various ROMs, kernels, root-hiding apps etc. Ended up wasting so much time, thought I might as well try ICS while I was rebuilding my damn phone every half hour.

So now I have it working on LPB, using Gumbald's 0.1.3 and OTA Rootkeeper, AND I'm playing with ICS for the first time which is frankly unreal.

So, Gumbald, Lenny et all - you da men!

This is why I love xda... :D

Ok some questions for anyone out there willing to help. I have just flashed the following to my SGS2 phone and got Sky Go working with a Custom Kernel and Voodoo etc:

Android Ver: 2.3.6

Baseband Ver: I9100XXKI4

Kernel Ver: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWLA4-CL900411root@DELLBUILDER01 #2

Build Number: UltraToxic ROM v8.1 XWLA4

1. If I want to get ICS 4.04 which is the best custom ROM to use, i.e. Darknight, etc (also, do you have a link for download)

2. Can I just Flash it with Odin as per usual with my current set up?

3. Do I need to backup data as will it wipe? The current ROM I got was a non wipe so no issues there

4. Will I need to flash a stock kernel to get Sky Go to work again? (If so, any links)

5. Is it worth it?!?!?!

Sorry for barrage of questions, but I am still learning this trade, and seem to be picking up a lot in a small amount of time!

[Android Apps and Games] rozel:
Yes it does, perfectly. Just one last thing - given you say that the stock recovery is wiped, does CWM remain - to get you back to where you were from a previous backup if you mess-up?
[Android Apps and Games] IrishmanEric:
apk 1.5 has got me further than previous versions, get the same error on all channels on un-rooted, un-altered 10.1 wifi only. ...... no stream but the device work around is working for the first time on this version, learning a lot here! :-) thanks!

actualy just in case its worth knowing my tab was recognised a a mobile on the device managment page on sky.com as expected im sure!
[Android Apps and Games] ferraridave:
No, CWM is the 'recovery', so gets wiped, easiest way to switch kernels IMO is with CWM manager.

See my earlier post below for the apk in my dropbox.

[Android Apps and Games] Lennyuk:
Be careful not to take this thread off topic, if you want to try ics then you are best flashing a stock rom for now, they work perfectly and lph is probably the best stock rom I have ever tried. Just remember to use nova launcher (market) not touchwiz.

Root via cf-root then flash stock kernel back and you can have root and sky go, just hide root to use sky

[Android Apps and Games] csteinle:
I have a suspicion that it only associates the two accounts' device registrations if you use Sky Go with the 2nd account on a PC which is also authenticated to the 1st user. These are the steps that I took that worked:

Create new child account on my.sky.com

Log out of main account.

Go to go.sky.com and log in with new account.

Accept T&Cs.

*DO NOT* play any videos on this PC using this account.

Go to settings and then manage devices. You should get a warning your current PC is not yet authorized, and both device slots will be empty. You hopefully will then be able to use the new account on other devices.

My hunch is this is related to the Silverlight cookies Sky Go uses to register PCs - note that if you clear Silverlight cookies, your PC loses authorization and becomes a different device as far as Sky Go is concerned and has to be re-authorized. This also means different Windows users count as different "devices", even though they're on the same PC.

Looks like the HD2 and ICS doesnt work though. I suspect this is because of the Hardware Acceleration thing though.
[Android Apps and Games] brainimpact:
yep dude your only allowed to erase each device slot to add a new device once per a month now b/c the latest rubbish T&C's.

So note to the people who don't have satellite box packages and only web subscription to Sky Go make sure you chose wisely b/c I believe you cant add extra users to account and so could end up being locked out for a month if you attach your 2 slots to android devices you cant get streaming.

[Android Apps and Games] combat goofwing:
seem the I brigade are kicking off big style on the sky forum as the only way sky can big correct in blocking rooted devices is by now blocking jail broken devices.Hopefully they will listen to the apple crowd and on the back of it they will remove the root block
[Android Apps and Games] wonneil:
I only have Sky News working at the moment because of the root restrictions, and I can't get OTA to make any difference when using the temp-unroot function.
[Android Apps and Games] Lennyuk:
Remember the apk on page 13 is now a version out of date, there is every possibility sky could cut old versions off to force updates which would be a deliberate act to stop people on other devices using it.
[Android Apps and Games] Lennyuk:
Lmao, not a chance when sky go first came out on apple it was blocked for jailbreak. What happened was jailbreak changed and their block no longer worked. All this has done is put them back to how it was meant to be anyway. Sky invest far too much time and money into their drm protection to let jailbreak and rooted devices work.
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:
Yes it seems none of the HTC devices on Sky's supported list have been reported working still beyond Sky News unless they are on stock ROM and never been rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] Lennyuk:
That is because it detects more than just root, one theory is it detects custom recovery and other root flags that may be in the kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] GingaB:
Yup I am aware of that but I refuse to go back to stock ROM! There is a reason why we all rooted in the 1st place you know...

[Android Apps and Games] brainimpact:
Must be a reason they are scared to allow rooted users access, do you think they found big exploits in testing on rooted android?

it would make sense why it was delayed for months & months when according to a post I read on Sky forums a while back development for iOS and Android started at the same time and they was blaming the vast number of devices to support on android for the delay.

That excuse does not makes sense now we can see how few models they currently support

[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
Thats not 100% correct. I have it working on my rooted HTC Desire, but it will only work on a nandroid backup I made before I applied a custom ROM. So I have to flash this if I want to watch any premuim channels on Sky Go, which is a bit of a pain. I've added this info to the spreadsheet but last time I checked it wasn't on there.
[Android Apps and Games] Nyssa1104:
Just an idea to make things clear it would be better and easier when referring to a file or post is to add the file name eg.. skygo_23.apk and post location, post number 001...800 etc. As it stands saying file from page X or page B may well not match up with many here as to the page profile layout. Also I see many asking the same question time and time again look here to see if you device has been add to the list of tested devices.. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnLqAJT56SsbdGI2QWJYV1dodFpaWWk3QnkxLWNxN0E#gid=0

[Android Apps and Games] dave_uk:
A fine post, sir. I would suggest that those actually contributing to making this work (e.g. lenny, gumbald), open a new thread which is kept locked (and linked to in the first post of this thread), other than for them to add useful information, and that this thread can continue as a discussion thread. Otherwise, as is always the case on XDA, it is unreasonably time-consuming to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.

Pah! Not working on my SGS2 :mad:

Can't get the official stock kernel (as described by steve in post #606 page 13) from Intratech's thread for my XXKL1 Sensation 1.9 ROM, as the multiupload site seems to be down at the moment!!

Someone a bit further down that page said they'd had success on their SGS2 with Chainfire's kernel....not for me though I'm afraid! When I hide root with Voodoo, apps like SetCPU etc that need root access, complain that it's not a rooted phone when I try to run them....but when I run Sky Go, it throws up an error and tells me that it's 'not supported on Rooted Devices'!!
[Android Apps and Games] Zammo76:
Yes. I have a nandroid backup dated from the beginning of this year which has the stock ROM running, I only applied a custom ROM (Runnymede) quite recently. But my phone has been rooted for probably close to a year.

So I just switch between the two when I want to watch Sky Go.
[Android Apps and Games] Restorer:
That's interesting. And you are still able to restore your custom ROM after using the original with no ill effects to bootloader and/or recovery?

How long ago did you make this backup? Did you use CWM or 4EXT Recovery? Are you in a position to make another backup with your personal stuff removed that you might be persuaded to share :D:D:D:D ?

Sorry for all the questions but you seem to be the only guy who's got a supported HTC working at all.

I would certainly be happy enough for now just to be able to swap back and forth between nandroids - it's only a few minutes. I'll have a rummage for my original nandroid - it would have been made using a version of CWM from November 2010 so I don't hold out much hope for it working even if I can find it :).

You can extract the kernel yourself from any Stock Rom ...

I get no ill effects switching between backups.

The last stock ROM recovery I have is dated 01-01-2012

I made the backup using 4EXT. I'm not even sure I can make a recovery with personnal data removed??? Maybe someone else can advise.

No problem with all the questions I think me having this working might be the key to someone who has more knowledge getting it working on custom ROM Desire series phones.

Well the stock ROM I have where Sky Go is working is:

2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0

So if anyone can get hold of this to flash it might work.

[Android Apps and Games] jackpotD:
First post so apologies if this sounds a bit noob.

I can report the app is working fine (streaming sports channels) on a rooted Galaxy S (i9000) after flashing a stock kernel and hiding root with voodoo OTA.

My normal set up is a stock ROM (XXJVU) but custom kernel (semaphore 2.5.0). App doesn't work if on the custom kernel, so I just flashed the stock XXJVU kernel using SGS Kernel flasher, reboot then hide root and it works.

After finishing up, can then unhide root and re-flash the custom kernel to return to old set up - only takes a minute.

Only (minor) downside is that filesystem has to be on rfs rather then ext4, but not so bad.

Not tried it on custom rom so don't know if custom rom/stock kernel combination would work.
[Android Apps and Games] basscowboy:
OK, So I restore my Desire HD back to where I'd just rooted it and made a backup. No custom ROMs, no custom kernel, just root, and recovery.

The news Channel on Sky Go played with Voodoo running, but no other channels would play. That might suggest that it's something other than the kernel thats being checked to determine root (Thats assuming the AAHK leaves the kernel as stock).

Time to restore ARHD and ride this one out. Hopefully Sky will bow down to public demand and sort things out from their end. If everyone gives them a **** rating on the Market, maybe they'll have a change of heart.

...and if ANYONE has given them a rating more than a '1 star' after they have used some of the hacks on here to get their device working with Sky Go, PLEASE GO BACK AND CHANGE THE RATING TO 1 STAR !!!! We should not be giving Sky brownie points for something they haven't supplied. If they have a substantially higher rating of 1 stars than any other, they might change their minds and fix it for everyone who's rooted to stream the channels without having to piss about everytime you want to watch a bit of TV (you've already paid for !!!), on your phone...

<Steps down off soapbox !!!>

You can rate the Market version by installing it, and then rating it. You'd need to uninstall your current version first, but there's nothing to stop you uninstalling after that and re-installing your 'improved' version. Your rating will still be logged.

A bit of a pain I know, but I bet there's a lot more people out there who haven't let Sky know how they feel about being shafted like this.
