A massive thank you to @Kenny-J for taking the time to sort out my Sky issues this morning - Easter Monday. Proper customer service and care. You're a star ⭐️.

1. i do not know what a viewing card is.
2 i did order sky Q earlier this year but found it would be to expensive therefore cancelled it. no work was done so i should not have had any problems with my box..
3. i am 70 years old . i do need this sorting as its disrupting even the basic channels and im afraid to touch thing which would make matters worse.
i would appreciate some assistance please.

I have just recieved this message due to my Sky Q installation being postponed. It appears the card thinks it should be in a Sky Q box according to channel 998 intro. I have not received another new card in the post and this is extremely inconvenient, especially as your engineers cancelled the initial install date back in Feb despite me being in all day and wasting a day waiting for you.
How can you fix this - I cannot watch anything.

I am so frustrated. This is my 3rd message on this Community platform. I have been with you for 20 years plus and a VIP customer. Although i can understand the fact that you don't have enough people in your call centres, most of which seem to be abroad, during COVID, the issue that I have, there is absolutely no way anyone can get anything resolved especially that is a 'digital matter'. My card suddenley becoming unsuthorised, is nothing to do with payment or any order that I am aware of that is imminent for SKY Q. It makes no sense to simply cut my full package subscription off. I cannot get through by phone and i also sent a customer complaint form to Sky, who have also failed in their own charter to acknowledge or deal with the complaint. 48h has now become a week. Unacceptable. There is a simple solution, the Sky team can digital authorise my card on my current Sky box. It is a simple message from your team. I know. I am on a digital team. Why is this so difficult? What do I do? My frustration has turned to anger and a lack of understanding customer support. My phone number is on your books. Not my landline. I have given you my personal mobile phone number. You have all my details. If it requires a verification, call me, whatever time of day. Your remaining teams on the call centre could work shifts like our NHS service. Warn me a call may come at 3am in the morning and i will take it. Please Kenny, or SKY community officer, tell me what I can do. I can see I am not the only person that seems to have been cut off. Dr A

Posted by a Sky employee@ajsharman I am sorry for your frustration, if you follow the instructions I have private messaged you we will be able to correct the issue with a replacement card.
@mrsdalesdiary There is nothing underhand here, all the examples that I have investigated on these pages are customers who have been sent a new card because of an impeding Q installation or an install that was booked but subsequently cancelled. The new card is still sent and should be used in your current equipment replacing your old card.
If you do not have the new card then please follow the instructions I have PM'd to you so we can restore your viewing.,
Kind Regards
Kenny

I am having the same problem as most others on here - the "This viewing card is not authorised" message. I have tried all the online 'fixes' but none work since the viewing card number you are now showing on my account is different to the one that's been working in my Sky+HD box for the last few years until yesterday. Can you please PM me with instructions on what I should do next? Thanking you in advance.
