Access to sky sports via virgin media
I have been watching sky sports via virgin media on a Samsung A tablet T550 for a while without issue. However, recently it has stopped working, it gets through to the sky sports app but after that, it eventually came up with a message saying I was not connected to the Internet, when I knew full well I was. I thought it may be a sky sports app quirk so I unistalled it, and then tried to reinstall the sky sports app, and it would not download. There was a small info text that said the device was not compatible, does anyone know if there has been a change recently. Buying a new tablet seems like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
Hi jbid9020
Sorry to say but the Samsung galaxy Tab A T550 is looking a little long in the tooth now. It was released in May 2015. Looking at sammobile <here> it seems the last firmware update for this was to android 7.1.1 in April 2019.
The Sky Sports android app was last updated on 18th July 2024 and requires android version 9 and later.
You might be able sideload a later apk for the app as a workaround however it's unlikely to be compatable.
