I purchased Sky Go and I wont be resubbing after this month.
1. I still prefer the BBC coverage, shame it isn't live but it is more to my tastes than Sky's so far.
2. I was expecting a dedicated channel with lots of different shows like how Big Brother has BBLB and BBBM etc. Instead it's just repeats, very little talk on the actual events, there hasn't been any Quali review show and just lot of ads when the racing isn't on.

My final complaint is I paid £35 for basically one channel and yet I get the gimped version with non of the extras the Sky Dish owners get. I think that is unfair considering I'm paying more and getting less. On top of that you can only have two devices registered which would be fair enough if you could switch as you like, however you cannot. So basically if you get new hardware like swap an iPad 2 for an iPad 3 you're screwed. If you reformat windows or buy a new laptop/PC then you're screwed and if you update your Android Rom you're screwed and so on.
I got it to watch on the go, which meant going from my 360 on my TV to my PC on the office to my Laptop in bed and my Mobile or iPad when I'm out and about. Now it doesn't tell you anything about registering devices until you've registered two and it is too late. So the iPad 2 I sold for the iPad 3 left me with one device which was my PC but on restart after Windows Updates it said my PC wasn't registered anymore. I phoned up the customer server and they said I should become a Sky customer and it's like I AM!!!!!! No that wasn't good enough they kept saying but I'm not a proper subscriber :S Like then why have Sky Go at all? Surely I paid the £35 so I'm a customer lol.
It gets worse because apparently I made changes to my PC so it is my fault :S It's WINDOWS UPDATE! I thought it was meant it be Sky Go? Not Sky lock you to two devices until you do software updates and then you have to wait a month to be able to register any devices again. Surely the clue is in the title that I'm streaming it from the net and will be doing so from different devices. It's not like a static TV where the only upgrade is a box every several years.
So short sighted and the dumbest system ever! The forums are full on people complaining about it and yet they don't care. The old system they describe is better where you can watch it from any device you want but only one stream at a time.
Anyways it reminded me why I left Sky back in 2003 and I will never go back again after this experience.
