I'm on a Windows 7 computer. I am running Palemoon and FF ESR v 52.7 - updated to this version today. Silverlight is working on both. (ast to activate in FF and always activate in Palemoon) In fact, I had to fire up the netbook I'm currently on earlier today to load a city government site for my husband that required Silverlight so he could view a meeting from 2014. Many of the latest browsers no-longer support Silverlight, and Microsoft encouraged web developers to move away from it in 2015, so it's about time Sky Go caught up. 0 rscott Posts: 3,966.

However, if you are using the Google Chrome web browser, then we have bad news for you – Google Chrome no longer supports this application framework. So, the best way to access this on-demand TV service is by changing to an alternate web browser.
If you have a Sky TV subscription, you’re automatically given access to its on-demand service Sky Go, which allows you to watch programmes on a smartphone, tablet, desktop PC or laptop. But not – or at least not any more – if you’re one of the millions of people who use Chrome, Google’s hugely popular web browser.
This is because Sky Go requires a plugin called Microsoft Silverlight in order to work, and Google recently stopped supporting Silverlight as a way of displaying online interactive content, switching to the far more popular HTML 5.
As a result, Sky Go no longer works in the desktop version of the Chrome browser. Sky’s current stance on the matter is that it has no intention of changing Sky Go, meaning that for the foreseeable future it will stay inaccessible on Chrome. We’ve reached out to Sky for a comment and some clarification, but have yet to receive a response.

How to get Sky Go working on your computer again
Sky Go Web Browser Free
So, what can you do about it? Sadly, you’re powerless to get it working in Chrome again. It’s simply not going to happen until Sky decides to change something. That leaves you with two options.
1) Use a different web browser
It’s a pain, we know, particularly if you only ever use Chrome, but it’s a simple enough solution. Just go to go.sky.com as you normally would, but use a browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera or Safari. If you’re using Windows 10, be warned that the new Edge browser doesn’t support Silverlight either (yes, Microsoft’s own browser doesn’t support Microsoft’s own plugin).
2) Download Sky Go Desktop

Your other alternative is to download the dedicated desktop app. It offers largely the same functionality as the Sky Go web page with a couple of additional features. It allows you to save programmes to watch offline, and you can also access it via another internet-capable device (like your smartphone) to download programmes when you’re out and about.
