Anyone having any issues with the Android version of the Sky TV Guide? When I open the app it stops at "connection error" this happens on two devices. I've cleared cache and data and uninstalled and reinstalled but still the same error. Have tried asking Sky via Facebook. Can't seem to find them on X.




Regards,

Yes. The problem is on Sky's end, not ours. Sky have not updated that app since May 2021, yet they update their other Android apps regularly.

I just assumed something on pi-hole was blocking something they were using..

Confirm I have the same problem on Android phone, but the iPad version still works ok. You can still access the Sky TV Guide through SkyGo on Android but that only lists the Sky channels, no free-to-air

Thanx folks. I many use the app for remote recording so not having it is a pain. I eventually found their X account and asked there and FB though don't hold out much hope.

It's a bloody good app. Hopefully will be resolved as I do almost all my recording on it, especially free to air.

Finally the app has been updated and it now works.

Got fixed with an update at like 10am yesterday. 

 

I assume team returned from leave and fixed the library or cert that was failing.

 

You'll need to go to the app store to force the update.

The app is not staying signed in like it should (yet another fault of their creation), hence the recording failure message. You will need to sign in via the side menu each time prior to scheduling recordings.
