Sky viewing card still not received 6 weeks after SkyQ installation
This is a sorry story. Fully two months after original installation request for new Sky Q, 2 engineer visits and more than 6 calls to Sky 'helpline', my SkyQ system is still unusable. I have chased delivery of the viewing card 3 times with the helpline staff and each time been assured it is going to be 'express delivered'. I have checked in person with the local postal sorting office each time, and the card has not been sent. What am I supposed to do?

@RMiles If you have upgraded from sky plus sky expects you to have kept and inserted your existing card
Either way you need to call sky directly to chase the card or order a replacement

I've moved your thread into the more appropriate Sky Q board.

Re: Sky viewing card still not received 6 weeks after SkyQ installation
Tried the existing Sky+ card first. It didn't work (to be fair, second engineer said it probably wouldn't, so I had no great hopes). That's when I started calling the helpline. 6 calls, 6 weeks and 3 promises of an expedited card later, no card. And yes, I've checked with the post sorting office in person every time. Hard not to conclude that helpline staff are simply saying what I want to hear and then doing nothing. On the 5th call they admitted no card had yet been sent due to a 'system error'. Meanwhile Sky has been happily taking my subscription payments.

I also called (three times each) the two Sky installation engineers who set up the Q boxes. They don't return either calls or texts, despite inviting me to "call them directly if you still have any problems, including with getting a card".

As a 25+ year loyal Sky customer and a fan of the SkyQ tech, I'm deeply disappointed that they seem to have given up on even the most basic customer service, i.e. caring about getting an installation useable.

No. The chat invite was sent to you at 1102 this morning. It would have been a blue / red chat bubble in the corner of the forum screen. Normally it would be available for 48 hours but the process is unavailable until Thursday morning now. If it doesn't reappear then, post back in this thread on Thursday.
