After being assured by sky in different threads that the download client would work with linux , when i go to download it ,it tells me that you have to change your operating system to windows or mac to run the download .looks like i will just have to miss out on the program and carry on as i am till they sort it out

    Hi Cowman,

    Yes i'm afraid we are only supporting Windows and Mac at this moment in time.

    Initially the plan was to support linux, however there were a number of issues picked up in beta testing which we were not able to resolve in the short term. It's possible that we will support linux in the future although i couldn't give you any more info than that.

    Apologies for the confusion

    Regards

    Adam

    As far as i am aware you should still be able to download the application from linux. Simply close the warning pop up (Click Ok or Cancel, i'm not 100% sure which) and then click on the download and install button.

    All we are stating is that we don't officially support it, therefore we can't guarantee a great experience.

    I'd be interested to know how you get on with this.

    Sorry I can't be more helpful here

    Kind Regards

    Adam
