Missed last night's match because my Sky Go app is demanding a new version of Microsoft Silverlight. I duly installed it on my Mac Book and Sky Go still won't work - any ideas?

Nope. I don't have sky but used to use a mates log in to watch things.

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 it's stopped working. I've tried everything to fix it but it's still fooked.

I've now given up trying and don't bother with it anymore.

There is lots of stuff on techy forums moaning about it.

You can watch Sky on free internet streams. It probably isn't legal of course and it will deprive that nice Mr Murdoch and his delightful children of some more money.

But it is possible.

With Windows10 I found SkyGo wouldn't work on either Safari, Chrome or IE, however it would work on Firefox. What browser was you both using?

I tried them all.

Edge, IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera.

Nothing worked. Uninstalled silverlight, reinstalled silverlight. Tried all the fixes on forums and still no joy so given up.

I use KODI all the time now but used to record us when on the TV so I could rewatch the match later. I can't now unless there is a way to record from Kodi.

Had exactly this problem. From memory I had to go into Safari settings or preferences and check Microsoft silverlight on the list of plug-ins. No more than that. Had no problems since.
