Has anyone managed to get Sky Go working on Linux? It has to have Moonlight installed as an extension to the web browser. I tried to install to Firefox but it said that my version 12 was not supported. I installed to Chrome, which said that the install was good, restarted but Sky Go still tells me that I still have to install. Any ideas?

It doesn't work. Same with other Silverlight services such as Netflix, Film Four etc. The reason being is that they use 'Microsoft PlayReady (DRM)' which is unsupported by Moonlight and will most likely continue to be.

Annoying because it essentially means you can't download or stream films /legally/.
