There's some bad news for console owners who watch Sky through their gaming device...the price is about to go UP!
Sky support has confirmed that there will be a Sky HD TV app released for PlayStation 4 soon, but has also suggested that the same may not be true of the Xbox One. So there is a possibility that the app may be exclusive to the PS4 for UK Sky users.
I doubt it is exclusive. Probably the same issue that has affected the BBC Iplayer app (whatever that is). I can only assume these companies just work on each app one at a time and going for the PS4 first make more sense (though it would make even more sense to release it all at the same time). I only assume this is the reason since apps on consoles seemed to be slowly released
A Sky partnership with Xbox One has yet to be confirmed.
A Microsoft spokesperson told Digital Spy that the international partnerships discussed by Phil Harrison were used as examples only, and are not yet confirmed.
"We have not yet announced any deals with Sky and Canal + regarding content for Xbox One; they were given as examples along with the BBC for content partnerships on 360 that we would be looking to replicate and expand on for One," it said.

I don't use sky but really? That's so stupid
and its FREE on phone and tablets should be free on consoles too relly
I run my sky HD box through my X1 anyway. I have not needed a sky app in some time.
