SkyGoApp telling me to upgrade subscription

SharonBorland — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:37:05 GMT

I have spoken to 5 teams, given various numbers and nobody is able to resolve this.

When I log into skygo app and try to watch or download to phone I get message saying something went wrong and to upgrade by subscription. I have Sky Q with Ultimate TV package which is eligible to use SkyGo. I am able to log into app and MySky app with my account.

I have tried u installing, reinstalling, logging out and in, clearing cache, logging back in. Even tried creating an account with different email and linking to my sky account number and nothing works, still same message.

I believe this is going to be an issue with the fact that I cancelled the Sky Stream withingn14 days if joining Sky and changed over to Sky Q instead. I suspect that my account has not been synced to my SkyQ subscription account and will need the developers to change this. I have voiced this to the various Sky team members but everyone is dismissing that and ignoring it.

That could well be the issue so after cancelling Sky Stream was Sky Q put on the same account or was a new one created for this ?
