Cannot use on demand

I had sky Q installed yesterday and have tried to download on demand but keep getting a message to upgrade my subscription. 

I know another person raised the same issue earlier and a Sky technician managed to resolve the issue. Can anyone help me with this? Many thanks

Do you have the HD add on? If not please try changing the default download preference from HD to SD in
Main Menu > Settings > Setup > Preferences

If you do have the HD add on or the above does not fix the issue post again on this thread so we can potentially escalate your post to Sky. Sky will then try to refresh the viewing card which sometimes needs a couple of attempts.

@SB7777 
I’ve escalated your post to Sky and the Escalation Team may get in touch with you tomorrow.

Look out for an email and also a blue/red speech bubble at the bottom of your forum page. Once that speech bubble appears you only have 48 hours to join the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to each chat reply from Sky within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread regularly.

If you are using Safari also make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the chat bubble. If you have trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Chrome or Firefox.

I did post a message using the red/blue bubble to say it seems to be working now.
