Anyone else getting annoyed with sky store on sky glass. We have 4 televisions at home and because you are only aloud 4 devices the kids now can't watch any movies in there iPads. It seem yet again sky have thought this one through.
There must be something someone at sky can do to get this issue ironed out.

Sky Store has always had these limits with regards to devices.
Thanks,

I totally understand that Tim but surely if customers pay for a product then they should be able to watch it on any device that they have, my point is to bring this to to skys attention and hopefully reslove the issue so sky galss customers can watch it lets say 6- 8 devices.
We are paying a premium and not getting the full service in my opinion.
Do you not agree ???

It's a good point: given that the Store app is effectively mandatory for consumption of content purchased from Sky on Glass/Stream then that hardware really shouldn't count towards the registered device total.

Thanks,

I'd hope they aren't counted, but I've never used the Store app on any of mine (or indeed anywhere else)

Just to clarify, you've only got one Glass and no Stream pucks?
The other TV's have the Sky Store app and you also use iPads etc?
Thanks,

Yes no problem at all. Appriciate it

Do Glas and Stream devices use the Sky Store app to access Sky Store?
16 Jun 2023 04:15 PM
Yes you have to log into the app on the Glass TV and each of the pucks in your house, so instead of them combining it all for every puck / Glass TV you use that is classed as a device, its bonkers

If you have Sky Glass and Sky Stream Pucks
Sky Glass is counted as 1 device but the Sky Stream Pucks are not counted towards your device limit
In regards to the Sky Stream Pucks
These are devices on your contract which also support Sky Store and don't count towards your limit
The Sky Stream Pucks will have a device name as account holder first name + Safari
Example my sky stream pucks are listed as Paul's Safari
Login into Sky Store Account using a web browser
Click My account
Click Devices
You will see the details of devices that are part of your device limit and list of devices not counted as towards your limit
With mine if have 3 devices that are counted as toward my limit
4 is blank as in I can add another device not used yet
1 Windows PC
2 Samsung Mobile
3 Sky Glass (When first added will be listed as your first name + safari) I renamed it to Sky Glass
4 is free as no device added
Below this you will also see devices not counted towards your limit
Devices on your contract which also support Sky Store and don't count towards your limit.
I have 3 devices listed all are Sky Stream Pucks listed as Paul's Safari followed by (#)
Remove option is greyed out as these are not devices counted towards your limit
You can give each device a different name if you want by clicking rename
If you do a factory reset of a Sky Glass it will add as a new device
If you do a factory reset of Sky Stream Pucks it will add as a new device but will be listed in section not counted towards your limit
You need to use a Web Browser to login Sky Store My Account to see all the info of devices listed as in what is counted towards your limit and what is not counted
If you just use Sky Store App on Sky Glass or Sky Stream Puck and click my account you will only see devices listed that count towards your limit

Thanks for replying, that's interesting because I'm getting the opposite to yourself. The Streams are getting counted as a device and there's no section about devices not counted.
1 is Glass & 2 is a Stream
Could you post a screenshot of the device section please?
Thanks,
Tim
