Download for an unlimited Sky experience.
In the modern world where connectivity is ubiquitous, Sky is redefining how you can enjoy your favorite content with the “Download-to-Go” feature. This functionality offers unprecedented flexibility to take movies and series with you wherever you go, even when you’re not connected to the internet. Download-to-Go is available for Sky Show and Sky Store content. Let us take you through the benefits, practical applications and best practices of this innovative feature.
Your benefits:
1. Freedom to enjoy anywhere: download your favorite content when you are connected to the Internet and watch it conveniently, even without Internet access. Whether on the train, on a plane or abroad, you are not limited by the availability of a network connection
2. Save on mobile data and roaming charges: The “Download-to-Go” function allows you to download your content in advance. We recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to avoid excessive consumption of your mobile data. In addition, by downloading your content at home before a trip abroad, you often minimize high roaming charges.
3. Easy planning: Prepare in advance by downloading several episodes or movies directly to your Sky app on your smartphone – the perfect way to make long trips a little more enjoyable.
Practical use:
- Storage space: Make sure you have enough available storage space on your smartphone before using the Download-to-Go function.
- Device availability: Download-to-Go is available on iPhones and iPads with iOS 14.0 or higher and Sky app version 5.6.0 or higher or on Android smartphones and tablets with Android 7.0 or higher and Sky app version 4.2.3 or higher.
- Select your content: Browse Sky’s extensive content library and select the movies or series you want to download. Look for the “Download” icon to start the download.
- Download: Sky offers you the option to download your favorite content via Wi-Fi or using your mobile data. To optimize your experience, we recommend downloading when you are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. This will ensure a fast experience without potential additional costs for mobile data consumption.
- Access your content: Once the content is downloaded, go to the “Downloads” section of the Sky app. You can now enjoy your content on the go without needing an internet connection. If you are outside of Switzerland, remember to switch your device offline or to airplane mode (no network connection) to access the app and the downloaded content.
- Duration of accessibility of downloaded data: For Sky Show content, downloads are available for 30 days or until the end of the current monthly subscription if canceled. For Sky Store content, purchased content is available for download for 5 years and rented content can be downloaded for 48 hours.
No additional costs: It is important to note that using the Download-to-Go feature is completely free for Sky subscribers. This advantageous feature is included in all Sky Show subscriptions.
Sky’s “Download-to-Go” reinvents the way you consume content by giving you a limitless entertainment experience wherever you are.
