hi @JN4 

 

Does SKy Sports appear as an app 

Home - apps

 

Also what happens if you select the (...) button to the right of the Home key  & select the SKy Sports App from there ?

@JN4 I think sometimes refreshing the apps sorts this error message 


you need to enter the engineers menu
To enter the engineers menu do the follow
press the home button then scroll down to setting and hi-light
do not press select/enter but press 001 then select this takes you into the engineers menu

scroll down to apps > refresh

Re: P

I get the same technical issue message when I open the app from the home key.The sky sports app opens on the right of the screen. Why is the red button option/recap not working?

hi @JN4 

 

When you open the app from the (...) button do  you know if it is deifinitely the new SKY Sports app which typically starts with a list of live/upcoming Football & a left menu set of icons to take you to other sports ?

 

 

I suspect you are getting the old SKY SPorts app which had Results listings (I think) amongst other options

 

It may be that your Software & apps are not fully up to date


To check & refresh if needed follow all the steps on this link (skipping any that are OK):
Software / Apps update 

 

Note after selecting the Refresh apps (as detailed later in that link) it may tae a little time for them to refresh

@JN4  I suspected that might the reason - Please do follow the steps in the link I also gave

 

I think the problem you are getting with the red button is that it is trying to launch the new SKY Sports app that you don't have

Re: P

I have downloaded to Q270 on the main box. Do I have to do this on all mini boxes for the update to work,as I still have the technical issue message showing and the old sky sports app on the main box.
