My phone is on Android 14 so maybe it only works on 15 and above 


@Eun I just tried it on a samsung s24 which is on android 15 and it doesnt work on that either,so its not an android 15 issue

Hi, everyone.

 

In order for the support team to proceed with their investigation, they have requested the following:

 

1. Check the Recordings section on Sky Go and confirm whether you encounter a "Sky Q box not found" on-screen message.

 

2. Check the TV Guide section on Sky Go, ensuring All Channels is selected in the drop-down above the list, and confirm which channel is listed first.

 

Thanks.

1. I do not have "Recordings" in Sky Go because I don't have a multiscreen subscription.

 

2. ITV 1 HD

Hi, everyone.

 

Thank you for your continued patience.

 

The investigating team are working on improvements that are expected to be included in an upcoming app release, currently targeted for September.

 

Your feedback following the release would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.
