Re: Sky Go technical and access restricted error
This is a solution and confirms what several others have said.
These error messages mean that the "system" believes that you, as identified by your user name, do not have the appropriate subscription to view the selected content. This is not the application itself but an issue at Sky's end. It can happen for no reason regardless of any changes you have made - IF ANY.
I knew that there was something wrong when I could not rename or delete devices on the Sky Go page. Check if this is happening.
This problem has to be corrected by Sky engineers in the UK and in my case scheduled in their workload. I got this done by messaging Sky Help Team on their Facebook page. Make it clear that it is not a problem at your end but a permissions error at Sky, something that they do know about. This will save you calls to their overseas call centre, hours of your time and get it raised as an issue. They may ask if you have done this or that and you may need to play along with them if you haven't but from their viewpopint I can understand that they want to eliminate the obvious.
Now fixed, we move on.

Re: Sky Go technical and access restricted error
I was told 48 hours ago that mine would be fixed in 48 hours.
It hasn't been.

Sky Go - technical issue
For months now and I mean months, I've been unable to watch anything on the sky go app, it won't work on any of my devices.
my accounts are linked,
I've signed out and in
deleted and reinstalled apps
changed passwords as the sky chat advisor said that would work.
Nothing works.
This is the message that come up whenever you try watch anything.

Unfortunately none of this worked. The ai robot didn't help either

Samraj.
Thanks, but it doesn't explain what happened, and how we as Sky customers, will be compensated, as I know some people have been.

Re: Sky Go technical and access restricted error
Which Sky Facebook account did you contact?
I contacted Sky TV UK, and they have not replied to my message.
My problem remains unresolved, and I'm becoming increasingly annoyed.
