SKY STORE RIPOFF!

BOOTS1 — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 14:55:43 GMT

Had Now TV and a three mobile connection for over 2 years,i have over 100 movies on Sky Store which i have purchased and watched...last week bought 6 movies in the Halloween sale and cant watch them!....live chat told me that as my internet is not "secure" i cant use Sky store app anymore,although it was secure enough to take my money and give nothing in return!,absolutely disgusting service,told its non-refundable either..in my eyes this is theft and i would advise anyone not to part with any money as it looks like they can block your access to Sky store any time they feel like it....

Hi @BOOTS1

I may be missing something- but I do quite a lot with Skystore and this isn't something I've heard of before.

Some of us on the forum are able to escalate posts directly to Sky. I'll try to do so with yours as it doesn't seem right to me.

Keep your eyes out on the forum and look out for a speech bubble they may send you at the bottom of the page with an option to open a chat window.

Edit ; I've noticed you are on NOW TV rather than Sky so it may be that they refer you to a different team - but will hopefully offer support

Thanks for escalating, but this might be best off with our Sky Store Chat team. they will be able to support far better than our team.

When they say "unsecure" @BOOTS1

is that because you are using mobile data ?

When I get home - I'll read through the terms and conditions for Skystore / Now TV and see if I can see anything (sad hobby I know )

I've read through the terms best I can @BOOTS1 and it does refer to broadband rather than mobile data.

Is "mobile data" the reason they gave you for refusing ?

if so - and if you remain unhappy you have the option to complain to Sky or to a regulator - but you might need to locate a flaw in the terms and conditions first.

My internet is provided by three mobile broadband as it has been for the last 2 and a half years,it's a sim in a router,best way i can describe it,suits me as i dont want a landline or the costs of it..anyway...have been buying and watching my Sky Store movies all this time with no problem,so for them to suddenly say "its because its an unsecure connection" is a poor excuse and as i said previously it wasn't "unsecure" enough for them not to take over £50 from me over halloween to buy more films,which i can't watch!...to take more money and let me buy more films when they know its an "unsecure" connection and i wont be able to access them strikes me as theft!

You could go down this route @BOOTS1

I am usually a supporter of Sky but I must say that in my opinion - this doesn't sound right

Hi again @BOOTS1

When you try to view a movie - do you get an error message ?

what is preventing you viewing the purchased movies ?

Also - is your account a "Skystore" account that you log in to using the Skystore app ?

If you haven't had Sky for years then that ID would have been closed which might explain the error.

One thing that isn't clear for me, you mentioned NowTV in your opening post were you a customer of theirs when you ordered these films from the Sky Store ?

BOOTS1 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 23:06:36 GMT

Still sign in with that i.d as i have done for 2 and a bit years,i got now tv 2 years ago also and already had some films from when i had sky,these were imported to my now tv and then continued to buy and watch until last week when the problem began....

Re: SKY STORE RIPOFF!

caesarome — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 06:40:16 GMT

So what happens if you sign in with your NowTV account details and not the Sky ID ?

Re: SKY STORE RIPOFF!

BOOTS1 — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 20:00:09 GMT

i can then see the home screen,go to my library,see all my movies but when i click on any of them just get the loading blue circle for ages then goes to the 1101 error...

Re: SKY STORE RIPOFF!

caesarome — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 20:04:51 GMT

This seems more like an issue with Now and the Sky Store so have you spoken to NowTV support ?

Re: SKY STORE RIPOFF!

BOOTS1 — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 10:34:51 GMT

Think i have spoken to all concerned three,sky and now who told me that as every other app,on demand,channels,etc works perfectly then the issue is with sky as it's their app and they have their own "security settings" whatever that means...

@BOOTS1

Perhaps worth noting you'll find threads regarding problems with access to on-demand services from Sky over a Three cellular data connection in the Glass, Sky Q and Sky + forums.

One possible workaround is to use a generic DNS resover on the Sky Store app client device.
