Anyone managed to get it working with a Sensation XE?

No idea, works fine on my HTC Incredible S. The blurb mentions ICS isn't supported and nor are rooted phones. Neither applies to you does it?

It lists Sensation as supported but not XE or XL, maybe I was expecting too much, I suppose it is Sky after all.

Are they still limiting you to two registered devices on Sky Go? Absolutely pointless. I've got my xbox 360 and PC registered. That means I can't have my iPad or Galaxy registered too. It used to be six devices but god knows why they cut it back to two.

Works on my Sensation but the quality is crap. I suppose that is to keep the data usage down.

HTC HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e is listed as compatible on the Marketplace, it works fine on my old Desire BTW (quality fine).

The Sensation and the Sensation XE are the same phone, just with slightly different software. If it works on one, it'll work on the other.

Generally speaking, if an app works on your version of Android, it'll work. I've had three Android phones and I've yet to see an app that isn't compatible, beyond requiring a newer version of the OS.

It used to be 5 but users where giving it to friends and family, rights owners must of been miffed.

not yet, they'll be working on it though, so worth checking weekly.

Thanks to the XDA people I've now got Sky Go on my HTC Desire and Sensation XE, they've also got a way of getting round the two device limit and seem pretty close to getting Sky Go to work on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 😀
