TV English Premium is an Apple App Store app that won't last long. It's offering streaming TV channels - including some Sky premium subscription - on the iPad and iPhone for a one-off download cost of 69p.
Here's the app's channel list:
There's no way Sky will put up with this, so expect Apple to pull the app pretty quickly. Also, it's probably not worth getting in quickly and buying it while you can, because it relies on the developer's servers for streaming and presumably they'll shut down when the app is pulled.
Update: Not surprisingly, this app is getting more unreliable as more people buy it and put strain on the developer's server. Users are now reporting buffering and some channels unavailable, although it seems to be the luck of the draw.
Update 2: And it's gone, pulled from the App Store, we presume, by Apple. Still leaves you wondering how it got there in the first place and stayed there for a couple of days.
