Unable to watch sky go in hospital

[College+Worker]

My husband is currently in hospital and we have tried everything for him to be able to watch sky go on his tablet which he can normally do at home or at relatives. Is Sky Go blocked from working in UK Hospitals?

It could be bloked by the hospital itself so what is happening when he tries to use it ?

Just says an error occurred. I can't get it on my ioad or phone either, but a friend can, all very strange.

1. Check the Sky Go app is up to date and on the latest version (search on the Play Store or Apple. Store depending on your device).

2. Log into your sky account via the website and check if the device is registered to Sky Go. You can only via Sky 9n a limited number of devices.

3. Ask the hospital staff if they block streaming services! If the answer is yes, consider using a VPN. Bare in mind, this may breach Sky and/or NHS wifi usage policies.

Typically Sky will attempt to identify and block VPN endpoints (even when those are located in UK/RoI) because these are often used to evade geo-restrictions.
