I'd certainly agree with that. I think right now we're paying something like £40+… so they could easily throw this in as an extra.
You need a credit or debit card.

Credit/Debit card. You need to signup for a MySky account if you don't already have one, then enter your billing details. So you get charged monthly by Sky rather than via O2 or Apple. In-app purchasing would have been easier, but I guess that would mean Apple would get 30% of the subscription fees.
errr ? come again
3g would be nice
and yes 3 months free use - very cool
3gunrestrictor on a jailbroken phone
No, not just you. It seems that apps don't appear in search straight away. I've seen this on quite a few occasions in the past. Until it does, you can get it by clicking the link from these forums on you iphone safari browser, or just type the following url into mobile safari: linktoapp.com/sky+mobile+tv
Bugger. Just tested it with my apple video-out cable (works with other apps - BBC iPlayer, YouTube etc.), and it no worky. Audio works, but video only displayed on the iPhone's screen. They've obviously thought people might try this to get a cheaper sky sports subscription on the big screen and blocked video output in the app. Arsebag.
i can't seemed to add my subscription, the webpage going out of wack? no place for me to enter my address

My friend is also trying to register but failing
when u enter your postcode you check the button next to it to find select your address
good luck
OT but what status bar notifier are you using?
Ha, iam sure someone from the jailbreaking crew will be able to enable it soon
It's not Sky. Apple's video-out cable only works on the stock apps (which include YouTube and Safari - the reason why iPlayer works). It won't work on 3rd party apps. Yep, it sucks.
And yes, there's two apps (TVOut and ScreenSplitr) available in Cydia for jailbroken phones but I found the quality to be too poor with Slingplayer being unwatchable on the TV compared to the phone. Maybe someone else has had better success.
Just to let people know the 3gUnrestricter seems to be no longer working with the Sky Mobile TV app, so anyone hoping to take out a subscription and watch it over 3G better hold fire for the moment.
I will try again later, but I had it working fine yesterday and today it seems to have died.
Edit: Weirdly EPSN is working, but all other channels are saying network error. So could just be an issue with Sky.

I downloaded, registered and logged in and did everything am supposed to yet when i click on a channel they still say not subscribed yet but if i click subscribe now it tells me my subscription is active.
Any idea what to do next?
I am having exactly the same problem. Any ideas?

I'm getting the exact same problem. I did manage to enter a postcode once but it came out with a generic address which I assume wasn't close enough to my billing address, so it rejected it. Now I can't put in a postcode or address at all. I tried to do it on the Mac but the Sky Payments page doesn't have the ability to subscribe to Sky Mobile services yet. Just phoned Sky and it seems like the problem is their end and they are hoping to sort it out within the next 24 hrs. As long as you get the code from O2 it should be sorted out soon, but a bit shoddy that it wasn't sorted out ready for launch.
