Sky Go on Ubuntu 13.10

This is about how to watch Sky Go (Pay-TV) on my Ubuntu 13.10 notebook.

With the Pipelight Browser-Plugin you can use Silverlight within you Linux Browser. The stream is protected by DRM, that’s why you cannot use Moonlight.

Here are the installation instructions using the Terminal [1][2]

[code]
//Close your Browser.

//Add the repository and update it
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update

//Install pipelight
sudo apt-get install –install-recommends pipelight-multi
sudo pipelight-plugin –update

//Enable Silverlight 5.0, because 5.1 didn’t work in my case
sudo pipelight-plugin –enable silverlight5.0
[/code]

You should now be able to run Silverlight in your Browser. You can check if the plugin is enabled like this[2]:

[code]
sudo pipelight-plugin –list-enabled
[/code]

Check Pipelight/Silverlight enabled

The next step was to install User Agend Overrider, to simulate a Windows System.

Now you should be fine using Silverlight 5.0 and Sky Go.
