Hi Apologies in advance if this has been mentioned.

Hi

I have just replaced my iPad 2 for a macbook pro. I want to be able to watch sky go extra on this as i spend a lot of time in hospital, so it said on the sky website i needed to download silverlight so i downloaded it but when it came to opening it i couldn't, it says

“Silverlight.pkg” can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.

which means i cannot watch sky go. I do spend a lot of time layer up either in hospital or on my bed due to disabilities so it really was great when sky brought this out. Hope you can help.

Many thanks in advance

If you have a Sky TV subscription, you’re automatically given access to its on-demand service Sky Go, which allows you to watch programmes on a smartphone, tablet, desktop PC or laptop. But not – or at least not any more – if you’re one of the millions of people who use Chrome, Google’s hugely popular web browser.

This is because Sky Go requires a plugin called Microsoft Silverlight in order to work, and Google recently stopped supporting Silverlight as a way of displaying online interactive content, switching to the far more popular HTML 5.

As a result, Sky Go no longer works in the desktop version of the Chrome browser. Sky’s current stance on the matter is that it has no intention of changing Sky Go, meaning that for the foreseeable future it will stay inaccessible on Chrome. We’ve reached out to Sky for a comment and some clarification, but have yet to receive a response.

How to get Sky Go working on your computer again

So, what can you do about it? Sadly, you’re powerless to get it working in Chrome again. It’s simply not going to happen until Sky decides to change something. That leaves you with two options.

1) Use a different web browser

It’s a pain, we know, particularly if you only ever use Chrome, but it’s a simple enough solution. Just go to go.sky.com as you normally would, but use a browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera or Safari. If you’re using Windows 10, be warned that the new Edge browser doesn’t support Silverlight either (yes, Microsoft’s own browser doesn’t support Microsoft’s own plugin).

2) Download Sky Go Desktop

Your other alternative is to download the dedicated desktop app. It offers largely the same functionality as the Sky Go web page with a couple of additional features. It allows you to save programmes to watch offline, and you can also access it via another internet-capable device (like your smartphone) to download programmes when you’re out and about.
