Sky is offering a free TV upgrade to selected customers – but there’s a catch

SKY is offering selected customers the opportunity to upgrade one of their TV services before anyone else.

But it’s only available if you’re already subscribed to the right package – and crucially have the right kit.

The broadcaster wants people to try out their brand new Sky Go app on PS4.

Sky is planning to launch the revamped platform fully “soon” but those willing to test it out can get onboard early.

Aside from needing a PS4 to take advantage, you must have Sky Go Extra, Multi-Screen or a Whole Home subscription.

Sky says it has made a number of big changes to the app, including a new look that resembles Sky Q so it’s easier to find your favourite programmes and movies.

All Sky and BT sport channels have had their frame-rate upgraded to 50 FPS, so you get much smoother picture quality.

They’ve also added subtitle options for Sky News, Sky Cinema, and all video on demand content.

A new autoplay feature is available too so the next episode will start on its own.

And a continue watching feature is added so you can resume where you left off much faster.

Of course, as it’s an early release there may be some bugs – which Sky want you to report so the final product is fault-free.

“The aim of this trial is to test and learn, so we want your honest opinions on how the app works on a console platform,” Sky says.

“Whip out the magnifying glass and see if you can spot any glitches, lags or quick fixes.”

All you need to do is sign up via Sky’s website.

You’ll be asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement so you don’t reveal any secrets to anyone ahead of release.
