Sky Go is provided free of charge for Sky (satellite TV) subscribers and allows them to watch channels live and on demand through an internet connection on a computer or mobile device. On 29 May 2009, it was confirmed that Sky Go would be made available on the Xbox 360. Jan 22, 2017 From my 5 day ownership of Sky Q, my understanding is as follows-1 - The minis connect to the main Sky Q box by its MESH network which in turn connects to the router by the household WiFi network. 2 - I would assume there is a benefit in hard wiring the minis to the Sky Q box depending on distances, floors, walls etc.
Talks on a trade deal with the EU may drag on into next week, with not long left until the full effects of Brexit are felt.
Both sides had said an agreement needed to be struck by mid-October to give enough time for the treaty to be ratified and implemented, but stalemate remains.
Brexit happened on 31 January, but for the rest of 2020 the UK signed up to a 'transition period', meaning things like freedom of movement and customs arrangements remained the same.
That was designed to ensure minimal disruption while negotiators tried to hammer out a trade deal to replace the existing arrangements and avoid a no-deal scenario.
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier is still in London for discussions, after they stretched late into the night on Sunday.

'There are reasons for determination,' was his short message to reporters as talks commenced again on Monday.
But German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said with time running out, some EU countries are growing impatient.

'We hope that the negotiations will have a good end,' she said. 'We don't need a deal at any price and we have made this clear... A deal is in everyone's interest.'
The remaining disagreements are thought to be on fishing and state aid.
Speaking on Sky News on Monday, Environment Secretary George Eustice said 'we really are now running out of time'.
'I know we have been saying that for some weeks,' he admitted. 'This is the crucial week we need to get a breakthrough.
'I really do think we are now in the sort of, final week, or 10 days.
'Of course if great progress were made this week and you were nearly there it is always possible to extend those negotiations.'

Some things are just made to be watched on a big screen. So, when it comes to Sky Go, there are times you want to ditch that laptop, tablet or smartphone and kick back in front of a TV. Here’s how to stream Sky Go on your TV.
Sky Go has been around for some time now and it’s gone through several iterations, including some confusing crossovers with the Sky Q app. The app’s main function is letting you watch your Sky package over the internet – a super useful feature when you’re away from home or just not in the same room as your Sky box.

While being able to watch Sky on your Android or iOS device – from a Samsung Galaxy phone to an iPad – will be a marvel for some, sometimes it just isn’t good enough. The heart-pounding action scenes of Game of Thrones or Gangs of London on even the largest mobile device just won’t do.

How do I stream Sky Go to my TV?
Kicking things off on a bit of a downer, the simple answer is you can’t. Never fear, you can get Sky Go on a TV using a good ol’ cable.
Unfortunately, Sky is yet to add any kind of casting function to the Sky Go app – as you can do with other streaming services like Netflix or Amazon – and this means there’s no way to shift the app’s mobile content from your phone or tablet to a TV. A lack of a Sky Go app on smart TVs doesn’t help the situation either.
Instead, you’ll need to grab your laptop and download Sky Go if you haven’t already. The next step is to check what connections your laptop has and, fingers crossed, it has an HDMI port and you’ve got a handy HDMI cable lying around.
