Sky sports issue

[theyoungs]

Every time I tap onto a sky sports station in the Virgin TV Go app it brings up 

Video Unavailable 

A problem was encountered please try again. Retry. Had this issue now for days and getting very frustrated with it. 
many help is welcome. Thankyou

Hi @theyoungs 

You need to download and use the Sky Sports app to watch Sky Sports channels, and not via the VM TVGo app..

What you should get when you choose one of the Sky Sports channels (Mix & News excepted) in TV Go, is a popup advising you to use the Sky Sports app and an "exit to watch" prompt.

You can then sign into the Sky app as a VM user, assuming you have those channels in your subscription.

I managed to work it after spending 15-20mins on the issue on Sunday. It was the VPN that’s was causing the issue with the sky sports app. All is well now. Sky was the only issue affected by theVPN. BT sports still worked ok. 
thanks for getting back to me though.
