Sky On Demand completes terrestrial catch-up collection with 4oD
Channel 4 is the first terrestrial channel to hit Sky Go too
UPDATE: This is now up and running, and we can confirm that many of the big Channel 4 series are also available on Sky Go Extra.
Channel 4's 4oD catch-up TV platform will become available through Sky's connected On Demand platform from this Monday.
The service joins the BBC iPlayer, ITV player, and Demand 5, giving Sky a complete line-up of terrestrial channels for those connecting a Sky+ HD box to their home broadband.
Users will be able to access a host of the most popular recent programming from Channel 4, E4, and More 4 and, of course, archive programming like Peep Show, The Inbetweeners and Father Ted.
Until now, Sky On Demand viewers had seen a "coming soon" message in place of C4 programming, but that will now be lifted right after the weekend.
Sky Go action
In addition, Sky is launching Channel 4 programming through its connected Sky Go platform that allows viewers to watch live television on smartphones, tablets and laptop computers.
Channel 4 and More 4 will be available through Sky Go initially on Monday, with E4 and Film 4 set to follow. Meanwhile, Sky Go Extra customers will also be able to download 4oD shows to watch offline.
