Does Sky Go work on the Joggler?

There is no native app. Sky Go needs Silverlight which is a Microsoft product so support in Linux is non-existent. An alternative to Silverlight used in linux is Moonlight but currently the security features of Moonlight do not match those of Silverlight therefore things like Sky Go that require them will not work.
BUT
Currently someone is working on windows XP for the joggler... XP would allow us to install Silverlight and Silverlight = Sky go... Currently that is our only hope.

using wine might be another option.

True, might be opening a can of worms getting silverlight installed through wine as you would also need to install a windows browser on linux and directx would need to be functioning correctly etc ...
and even if that all goes well performance may suffer...?
Would be interested to know if it works though.

I can confirm sky go/silverlight is working for me using the Windows XP build.
