Are you in the UK or Ireland if so and you have a VPN running try disabling it.

Re: Sky sport app on my iPad not working gives a location not available.?

I have the same issue with this. I am not running through a VPN. Since it works fine on my mobile network without broadband the only solution appears to be Sky have blacklisted in error the IP addresses assigned to my ISP. 

 

After an hour of being passed from pillar to post within SKY no one seems to know how to fix this so reaching out to the Community for help.

 

ISP is Starlink - welcome to rural England

Re: Sky sport app on my iPad not working gives a location not available.?

Similar problem with iPad and the app.

I turned off precise location on the sky app settings (and changed it so that the location was available to the app only when using it).

One or other seems to have cured it.

I hope it works for you. Let me know.

George Skelton.
