How long does it take for Sky Sports to be activated?

Hi - I added Sky Sports for month to watch the Rugby Summer tour about three hours ago but the Sky Sports channels have not gone live so I can't watch them on my TV or via SkyGo on laptop.

 

How long do they take to go live? I've also had no confirmation email and it's not showing in my future bills. The games start early tomorrow morning so want to check if it will be live in time.

 

Any help or info will be much appreciated.

@Cowgills  how did you order, you should receive email confirmation of order which could take upto four hours to activate 

 

billing can take a few days to update

Thanks for getting back. I ordered via website. I can now see the Sports is included in my bills for August but still can't access and no email confirmation. 

Anything else I should do?

Usually channels activate within a few minutes but they can take a few hours so if you still can't see them then give Sky a call.

@Cowgills  Did they eventually come on automatically or did you need to call

To be honest. I was testing it out in Sky Main Event as they were showing rugby. I didn't realise that channel wasn't included in my package. So guess error on me

@Cowgills  That does catch some people out main event is only available to complete pack subs not individual channels
