Sky Go asking for device authorisation

AndyP59 — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 20:08:23 GMT

I had the same problem in the summer last year. It has reappeared.

I have Sky Q subscription and hardware, with mini boxes and sky go.

Sky go waws working fine, then stopped and gave me error code 4*2*5*3*0*2*4*4*2*1.

Tried everything suggested in the forums including reinstalling sky go.

Now get a message saying that the device - iPad Air 4 Gen, using OS 18.3.2 - needs to be authorised

All pretty much as last year.

Cannot find anything on website or VIP site on how to authorise a device

Now stuck with a not working sky go.

please advise

many thanks

I put the stars in as system wouldn't allow the unstarred error code (or parts of) as it had been used too often!

Are you using a VPN because if so it will need disabling before starting to use Sky Go.

Have disabled VPN, and now it is working. But VPN was working before.....

many thanks for assist, but sad, that for some reason that isn't clear, I now have to disable device security to watch Sky go.

cheers
