Unable to view On Demand
We have just had Sky Q installed and unfortunately we're unable to view the content on "On Demand". It prompts us that we need to upgrade for this service.

Re: Unable to view On Demand
Hi,
Are you downloading in SD or HD?, Do you have the HD Addon?
Try rebooting your Q Box.
Try going to settings > system info > viewing card > pair viewing card > wait till it pairs then trigger a call back
My views are my own and I will assist where possible.

I am just a customer, If I've got something wrong feel free to tell me, If I've something right mark it as an answer

Re: Unable to view On Demand
Our subscription includes HD/UHD and watching that content live is fine.
I have rebooted and also triggered a call back but I'm still unable to download or use on-demand.

Re: Unable to view On Demand
You may have to call Sky on this, with it being a new install the card may need re-paired on there end and the signals sent over it should only take a few mins, I'm sorry i cant escalate this too a chat on here im just a customer like you

Re: Unable to view On Demand
hi @jtait95
Unfortunatley, I think you are suffering from a bug at SKY's end which can affect some new customers when trying to download.
I have escalated your post to SKY who, hopefully, will be in touch.
Please see this link re the escalation and what you might see:
https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Did-you-know/Escalating-a-post-to-a-Sky-expert/ba-p/3711147
I believe they try to refresh the card which sometimes works first time but I think it can take several attempts and even then sometimes it needs some other background process
If you are using Safari I believe you must make sure that 'Hide IP adress' is not checked in settings to be able to see it - if you have difficulty finding that setting then may be try accessing here with another browser
