SkyGo App not working on Apple TV

[ScottyP1982]

I am trying to log in to my Sky Go app on Apple TV and get taken to a screen saying 'You email address has not been verified' and a QR code. The QR code does not work. 

I have tried resetting the password, uninstalling and reinstalling but no joy. This is on the Apple TV box (not a MAC)

I have seen others have had some success with contacting via here so I am hoping someone can help

So I had a brilliant customer service advisor (who spent 45 minutes trying to solve the issue) and she managed it.

When the account was set up the Sercurity Questions option for password reset was not added to my account. The agent added this option with my over the telephone and as soon as it was done the app started working on the Apple TV box. This has to be done over the phone and not online. 

To see if you have the questions set up

- log on to Sky.com on a computer (not the app)

- Select your profile (top right) and My Details

- Select Manage Sky ID and then Edit Password

If the option for Security Question is blanked out/ won't let you select then you will need to call and ask someone to get them set up for you. This will solve the issue

Thanks for the detailed response @ScottyP1982 - that'll help others having this I'm sure.

Hi, I had this issue and have resolved it today so thought it worth adding some more info. For me, the Sky go app on apple tv showed a QR code, i followed this on my phone and (after logging in to Sky) i could set a security question. When i tried to log in to the app on Apple tv it still didnt work but a reset (or maybe the time a reset took) fixed it i wasnt asked for the security question when logging in to the app but it seems to just need you to have one. (Like the answer above, i needed an extra helpful Sky agent, George in Bulgaria, willing to spend the time to help me here, thanks George)
