Being able to watch Sky TV on the go using, erm, [Sky Go](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/11/sky-go-update-adds-support-for-14-more-android-devices-jelly-be/), is great, but streaming video away from your home router can often be costly, especially if you're on [EE's basic LTE plan](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/22/ee-details-uk-4g-pricing/). Thankfully, the broadcaster is looking to launch Sky Go Extra, which, if _The Telegraph_ is to believed, will allow up to four users to download anything from the Murdoch library straight to their mobile device. Adding such functionality to your family's viewing habits will set you back £5 a month (after a two month free trial) but that also includes unlimited access to the company's [first-window](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/19/sky-warner-bros-deal/) [movie catalog](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/07/james-bond-channel-sky/), a jewel it's [paid heavily](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/06/sky-nbc-universal-deal-extended/) to keep out of the hands of rivals such as <strike>Netflix</strike> [Lovefilm](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/18/netflix-uk-bests-lovefilm-instant-on-tv-shows-but-lacks-amazon/).
