Sky Player - It's here! - Microsoft Xbox and Xbox 360

Andy258 · 27-10-2009, 07:56

Downloaded the software onto my Xbox this morning.

However, the service appears to be down at the moment, obviously a Sky problem as I can't access it on my PC either!

Marc UK · 27-10-2009, 08:16

Same here, you would have thought Sky would have been a tad more prepared

Andy258 · 27-10-2009, 08:19

Sky Mobile TV seems to be down also, so obviously a big problem at their end!

NathDogg · 27-10-2009, 08:30

Yeah i seem to be having trouble connecting via the xbox, hopefully this will be sorted soon.

Andy258 · 27-10-2009, 08:47

The Sky Player website and Mobile TV are now both working, so hopefully it should be working on the Xbox soon.

Deserana 12 · 27-10-2009, 09:07

Xbox is up and running whoop whoop

It's working but incredibly slowly.

Andy258 · 27-10-2009, 09:11

It works!

Have to say, i'm impressed.

NathDogg · 27-10-2009, 09:11

It's now working. Looks as though sky news is a free to view sample channel.

NathDogg · 27-10-2009, 09:15

Spoke to soon. It's now stopped working and i'm getting the connection error again

Mine's still working, watching Hillsborough Remembered on History.

Keep trying, obviously a few teething problems.

Ah great. Since I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 and thus "changed" my Sky Player registered device I cannot add the Xbox as a registered device because you can only make 1 change per month.

Ridiculous.

I'm having exactly the same problems as you, is it worth giving Sky a call?

mtj · 27-10-2009, 09:43

Yeah I guess. Can't really stomach waiting on hold for a hour just to talk to someone who has no clue what I'm on about though

Andi Gasking · 27-10-2009, 09:47

Wow, this really is having a bad day isnt it!

I'm in no rush to use it, so I will hang fire, and keep checking, but if this is what we're expecting, then I just wont bother LOL

gavo360 · 27-10-2009, 09:56

I wont get to use it till later tonight so hopefully they will have ironed out some of the problems they are having at the mo which were to be expected cos its only a coupe of hours old.

Andi Gasking · 27-10-2009, 09:57

and its up again

Andi Gasking · 27-10-2009, 10:12

I'm now getting 0806/0000/0194

errolthedragon · 27-10-2009, 10:14

Piss up, brewery, these 2 comes to mind

You'd think big companies would be better prepared when they have release dates, Sky have messed me up soooo many times I expect it from them now.

Looked nice what I was very limited to seeing, certainly really easy to sign in as long as you remember your login details (just about) and of course without the windows 7 complication some have had. Apart from paying for Live I won't knock getting this for free, won't be used though as I have an HD box on the shelf above it.

Nice add!!!

Definitely give them a call - happened to me loads when I was using it on the PC, and they'd always sort it out in a few minutes for me.

Andi Gasking · 27-10-2009, 10:19

Well, we've got 2 xboxes in the home. This works out cheaper for us, as one is in the bedroom, and we'll now be using it for Sky Player, saves us having to get multiroom.. When it works that is.

Confusing · 27-10-2009, 10:26

How do I get these updates?

Nevermind.. I have Sky Player because I just downloaded it. What about facebook and that?
