Download To Go allows users of our mobile applications to download content to their devices while connected to the internet, so that you can watch it when you're offline.

What is Download To Go?
Download To Go is a great feature on our Sky Go app, which allows you to download select content straight onto your phone or tablet when connected to the internet to watch later without having to use your personal data.
There's a mix of a selection of our latest and greatest TV series and movies available to download via Download To Go, with new titles added regularly. You can download content based on the channels which you subscribe to, and the rights we have for the content.
Which content is available for download?
Like all of our content, our download options are driven by our content rights! Unfortunately this means that we may not be able to offer everything which is currently available on Sky Go with a download option.
We will always offer the Download To Go option where our rights allow us to do so.
Keep an eye out for the download icon as you browse around the application!
Can I download from skygo.co.nz to watch later?
Unfortunately we do not offer downloads from skygo.co.nz.
You will need to download the Sky Go app to your Android or iOS device in order to use Download To Go.
How much data will Download To Go use?
This will vary based on whether you're downloading using a WiFi connection or mobile data. We strongly recommend only downloading while you are connected to WiFi (which is the default setting), to avoid any hefty data charges!
On average, a 60-minute item, like a TV series episode, can use around 0.77GB and a 120-minute item, such as a movie, could use 1.54GB, so be aware of any third party data charges that your internet provider may apply when downloading.
Will content be downloaded to all of my devices?
Downloaded content is only available on the device you were using to start the download. If you were using your phone, for example, then the content won't be available on your tablet.
How much storage will downloaded content take up on my device?
The amount of storage taken up by downloaded content will depend on the duration of the content. You can check this at any time by going to the Download Settings section of My Stuff on the Sky Go app.
How do I manage my downloads?
You can remove downloads either one at a time, or in bulk, from the My Stuff section within the Sky Go app.
