If this is the beta version @John+Wesley+small then you need to fill in the fault form as posting on here will not help Sky.

Re: Join the Latest Sky Go Trial for PC (Windows and Mac)

I have downloaded the app via the link you provided above but Sky Go still crashes on Windows 11, still getting the 'checking for updates' message then after that the blue screen with arrow, then 'accept Sky cookies' then once clicked on 'accept' the app returns to 'checking for updates' then the blue screen with arrow, then the app crashes completly.

 

I cannot understand why this app is so difficult to use, put frankly it is a total disaster, as a customer of over 20 years I have had enough,  I have filled in the faults survey you requested but I suspect this results in nothing - having to pay a ever increasing subscription for a ever decreasing service is unacceptable especially in these difficult times.

 

I have made 3 posts on this community site and have received no help whatsoever from Sky, that in itself says it all.

Sky Go not working on Lenovo laptop

I get a error message when trying to open Sky go app on my desktop.  It says 'We are having trouble trying to connect you' Please try again (001).

 

I have uninstalled and re-installed the app and this has not fixed the problem.  What can I do to correct this error code?  I have looked at previous replies on this matter, I tried the fix with the Windows Beta to sort this out, but this did not work.
