Hi @darrenly2020 

 

Since the UKs withdrawal from the EU Sky are no longer required to allow us to view outside the UK and unfortunately they have stopped providing the facility.

As @mikealanr indicates, that would depend on the geographic IP address where the onboard WiFi appears to be located (probably on the end of a satellite link) : if this isn't registered to a UK ISP then Sky apps won't work.
