ive still got sky+ and i cant watch anything inHD. sky tell me they dont support the software any mo
hi. I can't watch anything in HD on my sky+. even recordings from the planner. sky tells me they don't support the software any more and I'll have to pay to have skyQ. I have another box on multiroom and that works ok. is there a cure? or can I cancel my subscription as they have stopped supplying what I pay for

Are ypu still paying for the HD add-on? It will be shown on your bill, if so.

yes they confirmed I'm still paying for it. I forgot to mention also this happened a month ago and they told me to rebuild the box which worked. I've tried it a again this time and it's not worked

Can you view a live HD channel without seeing the upgrade message (not BBC1/2 HD etc as they don't need an HD subscription)?

Sport is in HD by default.Movies aren't.
What about channels 106 and 806? Just trying to get to the underlying cause of this.

@Mark39 sky movies are hd by default and as been for some years
@dan61 do you have a subscription to either sky sports or movies

@SKY1992bf Thanks for that. Shows how often I watch Sky Movies.... @dan61 mentioned not receiving Sky Movies and Sports in HD so I'm a bit confused as to what the issue here is.

just to clarify it seems any sky channel in HD doesn't work, it asks me to upgrade my package. but I've always had HD included. even planner only plays stuff that's not HD

Re: ive still got sky+ and i cant watch anything inHD. sky tell me they dont support the software an
@dan61 thanks for clarifying. Sounds like the HD privilege is missing from the Viewing Card for that box. You'll need to report it to Sky, I'm afraid, so that they can update the Viewing Card. Have the Viewing Card number of that box handy when you report it. If you wish we can ask Sky's messaging team to contact you here so that you can report it via a private online chat? The alternative is to call.

that would be great thankyou. I've already phoned the help line but that's all they came up with. the fact that they fixed it last month and my other box still works makes me think I don't need to pay for something I don't need

Re: ive still got sky+ and i cant watch anything inHD. sky tell me they dont support the software an
@dan61 To get you some help, I’ve escalated your post to sky community chat who hopefully will be in contact and send you a private community message/email so I would recommend that if not already on, you turn email/private message notifications on to avoid missing any alerts
So look out for a chat bubble across the bottom of the screen when logged onto the forum
This link explains how this works
https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Did-you-know/Escalating-a-post-to-a-Sky-expert/ba-p/3711147#M1014
Be reassured the email & message is from Sky and your details are safe and secure.
Once you receive an invite you’ll have 48 hours to initiate a chat before it automatically times out, also ensure you login to the forum periodically for 48 hours after receiving the invite and check the chat bubble for any responses from sky and make sure you respond to each message from sky within 48 hours of each message, or the chat will time out again
NB 1 If your post has been escalated for a non return fee issue please note proof of postage is required without it refunds are at sky’s discretion
NB 2 If you are using Safari please make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the chat bubble. If you are having trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Chrome
