Select Sky customers can get a free upgrade before anyone else – are you eligible?

SKY is launching a program to allow customers to test new features before they are rolled out to everyone else.

The broadcaster is currently looking for participants to try out its new app.

Sky Go is the broadcaster’s new app, which is still in development for PC and MAC desktops.

The company officially announced Sky Go last month after working on the new app for several months.

Only Sky subscribers can sign up for the trial and provide feedback on how the feature works – or not.

“The first thing you have to do is create your profile and add all your devices,” Sky explained.

“If you have trouble registering, you can always reply to this email.

“Unfortunately, unless you create a new profile, you will not be able to continue participating in this study as we are migrating all of our studies to this new platform, so please sign up as soon as possible.

“Remember, if at any time you no longer wish to participate, all you have to do is reply ‘unsubscribe’ and we will remove you from all of our records.”

The trial site is still new and some customers have reported that it is difficult to navigate.

However, Sky said they have shared this feedback with the relevant teams.

The broadcaster recently launched Sky Go for PlayStation 5 customers, replacing Sky’s old and now defunct TV app.

“This is an exciting change for everyone watching Sky TV on gaming consoles that hasn’t changed since 2015,” the company said.

“We’re sure you’ll love this, and with all the new features the app will bring, you’ll be streaming in no time!”

However, Sky said it’s important to note that since the old app was upgraded, users who used it without Sky Go Extra/Whole Home/Multi-Screen will now be signed out.

“To use Sky Go in the console apps you need Sky Go Extra or Multi-Screen,” Sky explained.

“If you have Sky Glass, you need a Whole Home subscription.”
