Re: Football on Sky Sports App
Was having the same problem when watching Sky Sports on my Iphone as well as my Ipad. Tried changing my VM password but that made no difference. However, I then noticed there had been an update to the Sky Sports app and after installing, I was able to watch the ‘Key moments’ highlights during the live broadcast.449Views0likes0CommentsFootball on Sky Sports App
Recently when watching live football on the Sky Sports app on my IPad, having logged into it using my VM details, there’s no problem watching the live action but when trying to play one of the available ‘Key Moments’ highlights, I get the message ‘Authentication Required Due to changes made to your account we require you to log in again’. Log out and back in again but the same thing happens. Don’t know if this is a problem with the Sky Sports app, which has changed recently, or VM or a combination of the two. Any help would be appreciated.719Views0likes3CommentsLack of customer support
Early last month I received a mail, as others have, saying that my contract was due to expire and so I needed to renew. I phoned up and after the usual long wait and pot luck as to whether I had chosen the right options, I eventually spoke to an agent. The new contract offer matching my current package was some £40 more which naturally I wasn’t happy about. I had been a customer for half my lifetime from the days of Cable & Wireless, NTL etc through to VM but obviously loyalty is never a factor when it comes to negotiating a new contract. However, the mail I had received initially saying I needed to renew was from the ‘Web Team’ and on opening a link in that the offer was over £20 less than my current contract. The offer didn’t include TNT Sports but if I added that separately that would still have been cheaper than my current contract. I told the agent about that offer but he said his department couldn’t match that (don’t they work for the same company?!). So, I took the Web Team offer and received an email with an order number and the price confirmed with the update due to be completed on March 16th. I have heard nothing since. I received notification of my next payment recently and that remained at the ‘old’ amount. Since then I have regularly received mails saying my contract was due to expire and I would need to renew! Each of those mails had a link to an offer but each time on clicking that it said ‘Oops, something went wrong, please try again later’ or words to that effect. Also, when I check my orders in MyVirginMedia it says I have no orders despite receiving that mail from the Web Team. I even replied to that mail over 2 weeks ago asking what was going on but needless to say I have had no response. I haven’t bothered to go through the palaver of ringing up to try and speak to someone In order to get this issue resolved so I thought I would vent my frustrations within the Community. I have stuck with VM all these years because generally I have been happy with the service but this recent episode is now making me wonder especially as more and more customers seem to be very disillusioned with the service VM are now providing. I’ll wait and see if this triggers any reaction.Solved813Views0likes4Comments
