Hi there @kimmie1983

 

Thank you so much for your post and I am so sorry to hear that you are facing this issue! 

 

Can I ask what device you are using to via TV Go? 

 

Have you been able to try on other devices? If so do they present the same error. 

 

Thank you. 

Hi, i am using a dell laptop. I have tried to access through the app and also internet explorer. I have downloaded mozilla and chrome and still having same problem. BT sport works fine thru Virgin Go app on apple ipad, samsung tablet and imac.

Hi @kimmie1983,

Thank you for coming back to us about your ongoing issue. Can you tell us if you're able to delete the app and then re-install it to see if this can help resolve the issue? 

Do you have access to BT Sports channels on Live TV? 

Have you recently upgraded your package to have access to BT Sports channels?

Please let us know so we can help further.

Thank you.

Hi, we have recently changed our contract but have always had access to BT sport that has never changed. I have tried to delete and reinstall the app and still doesnt work. My laptop is fully up to date with updates and recently reinstalled microsoft so this cant be the issue either

Hi kimmie1983, 

Thanks for coming back to us on this one. 

It certainly sounds strange. Based on what you've mentioned, it sounds as though things are working OK when using an app through a mobile device but when trying to watch on the laptop it's not working. Is this the only device it's not working on? 

Are you able to watch other channels on the laptop or do these come up with an error too? 

Pop back and let us know.

Thanks,

Hi @kimmie1983 

You should be able to use the browser version on a laptop. 

https://virgintvgo.virginmedia.com/en.html 

If you are using Windows 10 or 11 the browser should offer to install the web app (the windows app has been discontinued)

tv gotv go
