Sky explained the trial will include new features and a few background changes.
“The aim of this trial is to test and learn, so we want your honest opinions on how the app works on a console platform,” a statement on the Sky website read.
“Your feedback will mean a successful launch for all customers.
“So if you’re technically orientated and have a keen interest in digging up clues, this might just be the trial for you!”
The telecomms company announced that recruitment is ongoing.
To take part in the winter test drive, customers must have an active Sky TV package, with Sky Go Extra or Q Multi-screen.
Sky Glass users will need a Whole Home subscription to be able to use TV from Sky.
