Another option is to watch Sky Go on your Xbox. The app name has been changed to “TV from Sky” and it’s free. If you have an Xbox connected to your TV, this would be the best option. Sky Go works on other consoles too, including Playstation 4 and 5. If you’ve got Sky TV and a PlayStation 4 and you’ve been waiting for the former to release its long-promised Sky Go app for the latter, the wait is finally over - you can now watch Sky TV both live and on-demand without having to leave your console. Why does my Sky Go constantly buffer on my PlayStation 4, it's nothing to do with my internet speed or connection as all other tv apps work perfectly. It's really annoying can barely watch live tv and even catch-up is unwatchable at times. Is there any way of fixing this problem of constant bufferi.
As if the array of TV goodies Sky has on offer wasn’t enough, it’s now also possible to watch TV on the move with Sky Go.
With a Sky Go subscription, all you need is a broadband or Wi-Fi internet connection.
You can watch live and on-demand shows via mobile, Mac, Windows PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PlayStation 3 or 4.
However, as with most technology, the service can come with its hitches.
So, here’s how to stop Sky Go buffering…
How to stop Sky Go buffering – Check your data
If your Sky Go experience is being ruined by constant buffering there are a few reasons as to why this could be.
Firstly, check that data monitoring is turned off.
You don’t want the app to be working hard on things it doesn’t need to. By switching off data monitoring the app should work more efficiently.
What about your internet connection?
It may sound obvious but it’s always good to check your internet connection.
Specifically, it’s a good idea to check your internet speed which you can do by typing into Google ‘what is my internet speed?’. If your internet speed is lower than expected then it’s best to contact your internet provider and query this.

How many people are using Sky Go?
Getting set up with Sky Go and sharing out your subscription can be tempting but it turns out that it’s best to keep your login details to yourself.
If you are using multiple devices this can seriously affect your streaming speed.
If your subscription is for one connection then only use one device. Never overload the service by using more devices that you’ve signed up for as this is sure to increase buffering.
Have a spring clean
Another point to consider is whether you’ve checked up on your devices lately.
Device maintenance is important and by this, we mean resetting your router or modems regularly and clearing your cache to free up any space you can.
Lastly, you can also change your device’s DNS servers to reset your connection for a more seamless viewing experience.
Sky has announced that its streaming TV platforms Sky Go and Now TV will be landing on Sony’s PlayStation 4 console this summer.
Sky TV subscribers will be able to access up to 57 live TV channels on their PS4s, as well as tap into Sky’s on demand library of catch-up services and TV box sets.
Additionally, last-gen gamers with PlayStation 3’s will also be able to access Sky Go for the first time this summer.
Subscription streaming service Now TV will also be landing on the PlayStation 4 later this year. Now TV is Sky’s on-demand services for non-Sky TV subscribers and gives viewers access to Sky Movies, Sky Sports and Sky Entertainment content. Now TV has been available on the PlayStation 3 since July 2013.
The channels you can access through Sky Go depends on your Sky TV package, so you won’t be able to get Sky Sports through your PS4 unless you’re a Sky Sports subscriber for example.
Fergal Gara, Vice President and Managing Director for Sony Computer Entertainment UK said: “Now TV has been a great addition to the PlayStation 3 entertainment portfolio, so bringing it to the new PS4 is going to delight all users of the newest, most powerful member of the PlayStation family.
