Sky Go ?

Does anyone know for sure whether Sky Go TV works on Linux Mint?

See answer here; http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Setting-Up- ... d-p/235431. You won't be able to watch this with default Linux Mint, though that post has some suggestions to some programs that may let you watch it. All in all, it doesn't sound promising.

SkyGo uses M$ Silverlight and although they say you can use Moonlight instead. You Can't!!!
Recently an Ubuntu developer created a PPA for Netflix which (if it can be modified to work with SkyGo) is our best bet.
I spoke to skyGo engineering services yesterday and although they admit Silverlight is a pain and has caused them headaches, they have no plans to drop it or to use Moonlight

Netflix has been ported over to Linux running under wine using a windows version of Firefox. Wonder if there is anyway we could use this as that uses silverlight too. Im too much of a newb to tinker but if anyone want to give it a go

EDIT= By using the netflix-desktop app you can browse the web if you mess around a bit ie select some text right click and select search google, thus it opens in a new tab. The next problem is though, that silverlight isnt at the latest version and sky go requires it
