SkyGo

Post by pavlov »

Does anyone know if the AK3 is powerful enough to run Sky Go?
Is anyone on here using it to stream things like Sky Go, iPlayer etc.?

thanks

pavlov,

From the sound of it, the Sky Go app is pretty power hungry. According to the app's PC system requirements on their website, the AK3 may not be enough. However, the CPU they list in those requirements is a couple of years old. I would ask in the Sky Go App section of Sky's Community, listing the specs of the AK3 you're looking at, to determine whether it can support the app and what it's used for.

Hope this helps. 🙂

Hi!
I've installed it on a T6 8GB ram and 120GB disk and seems to work...
I'll try to connect it to my Samsung Smart TV and let you know.

Good morning guys!
Bad news.. I did some test and seems that the T6 is not enough powerful to run Sky Go App with My 65" 8K samsung smartTV.
The image is a bit "crispy" and delayed and often audio is not in time. I think is a CPU/graphics card problem not RAM limit (is 8GB my model).
My guess is if another model as the AK1 could be a better choice.
In case I will order/test one.
