Sky Go iPad. Nothing playing (‘something went wrong …’)

[Skybluesnowy]

I can't play anything on Sky Go on iPad. Worked flawlessly until yesterday, now I'm getting a 'something went wrong. because of a technical issue you cannot watch this content...' It's been like this for over 24 hours. Tried rebooting, logging out, reinstalled app etc. Anyone got any ideas?

Try signing out of the app then reboot your device and the sign back into the app.

If that doesn't work then try linking your Sky ID to your account, help on doing this can be found here:

Thanks for the reply. Tried all that, same problem. Thinking the Sky Go app update is faulty or something. Been using it for a year or more, this issue has just happened and the same across 2 iPads. Anything else you can think of?

This one is more obscure but is worth looking into:

Thanks again for your advice, but no joy. Nothing has changed from my side for the year or more that I've had no problems. Tried watching live from the Skysports app and having issues with that as well, so I suspect something dodgy with my user account. Spoke to Sky who were less than useless, advised me to 'wait a day and see if it fixes itself'. I was hoping others are having the same issue but looks like just me...

To see if they can help you with this I have escalated your post to the Sky Messaging team who should be in touch with you regarding this via a blue/red chat bubble which will appear at the bottom of this page. It can take up to a few hours to be contacted via this.

This link explains how this works so you will need to respond to the chat bubble at the bottom of the page when it appears:

When the chat bubble does appear you will have 48 hours to respond or it will be automatically closed. To start the conversation just type in it.

This isn't a live chat so replies are not instant.

Thanks for your help. Spent ages online chatting to an agent. Tried everything and couldn't get any joy. Spent an hour on the phone talking to Sky, still nothing. Might just have to cancel Sky and start again. Appreciate you taking the time to assist though
