no sorry, i am assuming this is correct as this was in another post:

Sky is launching a fantastic live TV iPhone App on 9 November and O2 customers can get it for free for the first three months. That means exclusive access to Sky Sports 1, 2 and 3 as well as a host of other sports and news channels including all Premiership matches screened live.


Sky Mobile TV will be available through the Apple App store and normally costs £6 a month. Our iPhone customers can get a promotional code to use during signup for the App giving them three months free by texting Sky to 2020.

The offer will be displayed in retail windows and in other advertising. It will also automatically pop up on O2 customers' iPhones when they download the application – making sure that they are fully aware of this exclusive offer.

Sky Mobile TV will give access to live streaming from Sky Sports 1,2 and 3 as well as Sky Sports News, Sky Sports Extra, Sky News, At The Races and ESPN*. After the three month promotional period the service will cost £6 per month with a one month minimum term.

During the three months free period, we’ll send our customers texts to remind them that they’ll be paying £6 per month for the app after the three months is over. If they’d like to unsubscribe from Sky Mobile TV they can visit www.sky.com to do so.

The App requires Wi-Fi connectivity and does not work over 3G.

Full details of the offer will be available on www.o2.co.uk on Monday.

This exclusive offer is available to all our iPhone customers including:

• Staff & Friends and Family
• Pay Monthly
• Pay & Go
• Business

*some Sky content not included – WWE, HBO Boxing, MLB, Serie A and NCAA are currently excluded.

Well according to their site, it's now live. But there's no iTunes link on the page, and I can't find it on the AppStore. I assume it'll appear at some
stage today. Also the promo code for o2 customers (text "SKY" to 2020) isn't live yet.

promo code text is now live, I got mine whithin about 5 minutes.

No sign of the app yet on the app store though....

Well, I imagine that Sky would want it available over 3g as well, but it's probably O2 that is not allowing this for the time being. Maybe one day O2 will have their network capable of carrying large amounts of streaming video. Perhaps there's a hint to when this will happen in the number for the promo codes - 2020......

Nope. According to the o2 site (http://www.o2.co.uk/skyoffer), it's already available. It may well be already there, but it's not yet coming up in search, and I haven't seen a link to it anywhere.
