This might be happening if you are either abroad or you are at home and using a VPN (which will need disabling) as it appears Sky have put extra security measures in place.

Re: Sky app - Access Denied

Same thing happened to me - disabling a perfectly good security measure (vpn) just because Sky can't track you is NOT GOING TO BE A OPTION (caps intentional).

 

My banks are happy with the vpn so Sky should be as well.

The reason that Sky can't work with a VPN is that Sky need to know your geographical location, as the content they provide in the UK, due to licensing restrictions, can only be used/streamed from a UK based location.

What things not working half the time? What have you done about it? You can cancel by calling to give the required notice (unless you're in contract with a TV subscription when you can't camcel).
