Same here, none of my apps work and none of our mini boxes can connect to the Q Box. 

Internet is fine,  Did all of the suggested resets but it's still not working. Keep getting the Activation Server error message. It's also not letting me select 'view on mini boxes, or Sky Go' in the settings menu. Says it needs an internet connection to activate it, but it has got an internet connection which is confirmed in the Network settings. Must be a fault at Sky's end. 

Glad you also posted as it means I'm not the only one with the fault.

Woke up this morning no longer able to connect to recordings on iPhone or iPad on SKYGO. Deleted and reinstalled the APP only for the recordings tab to completely disappear! This was absolutely fine early hours 2am what's happened since? All internet connections etc are connected

I have the same issue and Sky Support tells me there is an issue at their end that is preventing some devices from connecting.  That makes some sense as I can use Skygo on my iPad and on my PC I can stream Sky News and get ads, so the app is talking to Sky's servers, but it looks to me like an account integration/verification error when using the Windows app.  Why can't they just tell us what PFE 4206 means?

The Mini box activation issue encountered by some users earlier today (21/03/24) appears to be entirely separate to any previous problems with Sky Go.

 

It may have generated specific problems today, which have now been resolved.

Unfortunately there are various things installable on a computer which are incompatible with Go: those may well include VPNs, advertising blockers and screen capture software.

 

Sky is under no obligation to provide anyone with service under all circumstances.

Don't disagree but they have an obligation to provide a service that works and when it doesn't try to fix it. Publishing what the mysterious error code mean would be a huge start. PFE 4206 is definitely something to do with accounts in their system. My issue came up on a PC with a clean install install, and given I can see adverts and Sky news, it's clearly not a connectivity or functionality issue.
