Device limit

Hi

I've been waiting until 1st Feb to add a device to my sky store account.   It's a PC.

I did it this morning, but when trying to play any movies it was just a black screen.

To try to fix it, I decided to try deleting cookies.

But it seems the cookie is what links the device to the sky account.

So now that I have deleted the cookies the device is no longer accepted, and it says I have wait another month again to add any devices.

Is there a way around this?  It's the same device, just that the cookie was deleted.

And if I do get the device active again, can I get any help with the black screen?  Tried restarting the PC, a movie played for a few seconds but then went black again.

Thanks

I would get in touch with Sky Store support regarding this, they have a live chat you can use that is available from 11am-7.30pm Monday to Saturday and can be found here:

Re: Device limit

Thanks, yes i've been trying all day to use the live chat.  I keep getting an error message.

The phone number I found online gives a menu of options, but it doesn't recognise any dial tones that I press.

Seems impossible to get in touch.

I'll keep at it though, thanks

With the Sky Store live chat you just stay on the page until it shows that an agent is available.

Re: Device limit

It seems the live chat error was just on the PC.  I managed to get on live chat on my phone. 

 

Although there were only 3 devices showing on the sky store account page, the agent said there were more than 10 showing on their end.  All devices removed by the agent but still had a problem loading any movies - still showing a black screen. 

 

I switch to using the Windows Sky Store App (instead of Edge) and everything is now ok.

 

So in case any one has similar issues in future - maybe avoid using Microsoft Edge for live chat and for watching movies.
