Anyone signed up to BT Sports Channel via the Sky ...

I remember see a few posts from people who said they'd noticed a decrease in their Infinity DL speed after signing up to BT Sport via the Sky platform. How \ why that should be the case, I dont know but one or two people reckoned it was because of the demand likely to be put on the network if people view the sports channels via the net instead.
Have many people experienced this slow down after signing up or was it just an isolated coincidence?
Im interested in signing up for BT Sport channels via my Sky box but, dont want to experience a slow down of my Infinity as a consequence.
Thoughts?

I don't think there can be any connection... the BT SPort service starts 1st august anyway and will be Satellite fed, unless you use on demand catchup... (if that's what you were thinking).
But my speeds have not degraded at all since signup, they are still climbing upwards as I am in my 10 day settling in period (installed 30th May)
Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else

  • When can I watch BT Sport via the Sky Platform

    I have just sent the following message via the BT 'email us' form, but then I received an email back saying that it could take up to 10 days to respond . Given that I only have another 3 days to cancel my order (if necessary) I thought I'd try and find an answer on here, so here's the message. Thanks in advance...
    Please inform me of the DEFINITIVE date on which I'll be able to activate BT Sport through my Sky HD box.
    It is (in theory) already active for viewing online or via the app, but I am so far unable to link my Sky viewing card because of an "outstanding order" on my account.
    I have spoken to various members of your staff (both on the 'phone and via LiveChat, for which I have the transcript) and I am being given contradictory answers. These answers have varied as follows.
    1. I will be able to activate it as soon as I place the order for BT Broadband (so I placed the order without delay on 17/08/2012).
    2. I was then told this would be 24 hours after placing said order, so I waited.
    3. Thirdly I was told that I could activate it as soon as I give you my MAC key (so I did this on 19/08/2012 as a direct result of this advice, even though I could be charged by my previous Broadband provider for using the key within 7 days).
    4. When that didn't work I was told to wait 24 hours after using the MAC key.
    5. Finally I was told that I would have to wait until after my BT Broadband goes live on 10th September.
    Answers 1-4 have turned out to be false, and as I am now starting to lose faith in the answers provided by BT, I don't hold out much hope for answer 5.
    Considering that my reason for ordering BT Broadband was so that I could get BT Sport via the Sky platform, I am increasingly under the impression that I have been mis-sold the product.
    Could you therefore please tell me EXACTLY WHEN I'll be able to activate BT Sport via the Sky platform.
    Thank you

    Well, it's the 10th September, and my BT Broadband is finally activated; but still no BT Sport via the Sky box
    I've tried to link my Sky viewing card to mt BT account online, but I just get the message 
    "Good news!You've already got access to BT Sport. Watch online at btsport.com or via our Apple and Android apps. If you'd like to talk to us about upgrading your BT Sport Pack so you can watch via your TV please call us on 0800 731 0286."
    What? I don't want to watch on a computer or phone. I want to watch it on my TV.
    Anyway, I called the number, waited on hold for 26 minutes before being cut off.

  • Cant watch BT Sport channels

    Hi,
    I do have the sport package including HD - when I select the cannel it says not available.
    Anyone know why this is?
    (I can see channels 507 - 512)
    Netgear Setup

    I keep answering my own QU's...
    Apparently to be able to view the sport channels via the youview box I need to be 'hard wired' to the router.
    However I am perfectly able to stream netflix via my console using the powerline adapters etc..
    I get the above error message, so I tried to connect to the router directly, made no difference.
    I then connected my laptop by wire to the switch that connects to the powerline adapter - it was able to load bt sport 1 and 2 almsot instantly with decent image quality.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    I think its a little stupid for BT to provide powerline adapters, then tell me its not possible to use it with BT sport when actually they are easily fast enough to hold a solid connection and load large files..
    I do this trying to stream content via netflix etc..
    Im barely 3 metres away, but due to the locations of the TV and router, I do not want wires to be trailing around the TV room.
    ANyone got any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • Unavailable sport channels in SD (playoff season)

    I have only had Fios for 2 months and now the local sports channels  Yes, SNY amd MSG are gone on my SD  set top.  Spoke with Verizon and they tell me I have to pay for a tech to come to my home?  Just installed should they have not checked the wiring?  All I want to know is wht is it only these 3 channels?

    If that is the case, why is Sky able to provide their customers with BT Sport HD channels.
    It is a matter of time before we will have access to Sky Sport1,2,5 HD channels on BT Vision+, hopefully sooner than later.
    BT Sports Channels on the Sky Platform (SD and HD) are sold direct to customers by BT.
    On the BT Vision - the Sky Sports SD channels (1&2) were I believe wholesaled to BT under the Ofcom must offer decision .
    That set wholesale prices for the SD channels. That Ofcom must offer decision also apples to the HD versions
    The wholesale must-offer remedy will apply to high-definition versions of the included channels. However, we have decided not to set a price for supply of these channels. Instead we have included an obligation for supply to be on a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory basis.
    http://media.ofcom.org.uk/analysts/regulated-prices/
    I don't believe BT ever completed a wholesale agreement for the HD versions and of course Sky have appealled the need/validity of the Ofcom decisions.
    The Sky Sports 5 (SD) would appear to be a seperate agreement between BT and Sky.

  • Check you are set up to watch BT Sport via the app...

    Hello all
    We’re aware that a number of you are having problems accessing the BT Sport app. We’re looking into the specific scenarios some of you have described but we thought it would be useful to post up this general guidance as well.
    Check you’re ready to watch on the app
    If you have ordered BT Sport to watch on BT TV, YouView or Sky you should be set up to use the app as well. All you need to do is download it. You can do that by going to the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
    If you want to watch on the app or online only, not on TV
    If you are a BT Broadband customer and you just want to watch BT Sport online or via the app (not via TV) you need to activate it first. To activate, just log in to My BT, scroll down and click on BT Sport and follow the steps. If you have more than one account number in your My BT profile, remember to switch onto the one your BT Broadband is billed to.
    Thanks

  • Music Channels via Computer?

    I can get lots of FIOS music channels on my TV. However, I want to listen to them in another room and not have to turn my TV on. Is there a way to get them on my computer directly via Internet? If that's not possible, it seems I should be able to run a wire from a sound-out socket on the back of my Motorola QIP 6416-2 set-top DVR and use that as the source of the music. Which outlet should I use?

    I am not aware of the ability to get the channels via the internet.
    For audio, simply connecting the audio out (red/white on the bottom row of outputs on the back) to an audio input of a stereo or other system would do the trick.  

  • Trying to use the BT Sport player for the first ti...

    I have BT Sports through Sky and need to watch it online today as I am awaiting a replacement sky box.
    Now when I try to log in theres a message saying sky customers are automatically signed up to bt sport online, and I've tried logging in with my bt email adress and password to no avail. Can anybody help or point me in the direction of how I can get logged in?

    I have a similar problem, I signed up via the Sky Digital platform, received an order confirmation email and the channels where activated on the Sky box immediatley. 
    I then recieved an email to activate BT-ID to use the Sports App. This asks for my account name (accepted) and security question (accepted), then it takes me to a page for a password (not given one). 
    I click a link to change the password (or create one in the case), this generates an email with a link, again the account name and security question is request only this time the security answer is not accepted.
    I also tried to register for a BT-ID manually but it states my user already exists.
    Any pointers welcome.

  • I opened my google email account via the MAIL icon and cannot close it or sign out. Can anyone advise how to do this?

    How can I close my google email account which I opened via the MAIL icon ?

    Just close the Mail app or not, doesn't really matter.
    I have a couple of google email accounts in the iPads Mail and the same ones open in the Mac's mail app. I do sign out after using web mail though.. That doesn't have any effect on the iPad or Mac mail apps.

  • Lost HD & Sport channels on black BT Vision box

    Hi, I was advised to do a factory re-set on my black BT Vision box because it was performing so poorly but since doing so I can no longer get my HD or sport channels (BT Sport 1 & 2, Sky Sports 1,2 & 5) back.
    Prior to doing the reset I only had the HD & sport channels as I had such a poor aerial in the roof. Doing the factory re-set meant I had to have a functioning aerial to re-scan for all the channels so I fixed the aerial & whilst it means I can now get all the freeview channels I can't now get any of the HD or sport channels back that I pay for!
    BT initially thought it was an issue at the exhange but having gone through several re-sets, re-scans, re-registers & re-boots they've finally agreed to get an engineer out.
    In another two weeks time!
    Anyone got any suggestions as to what might be causing this & therefore how I might be able to fix without waiting for the engineer visit?
    thanks

    Either the entitlements are missing or you are on the wrong version of the software. This can sometimes happen initially after a reset.
    What does it say for Help & Settings > Settings > System Information > BT TV Release ?
    If it ends in C (such as 8.7.1C) then you are on the version for using a viewing card.
    If it ends in E (such as 8.7.1E) then you are on the version for multicast channels over broadband which is what you need.
    If on the C version then try the following.
    Help & Settings > Settings > System Information > Reset Registration
    Help & Settings > Settings > System Information > Check for Upgrade
    In my experience that usually encourages it to download and install the correct E version again.

    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

  • Lost access to BT Sports Channels

    Hi,
    I had BT Infinity and BT TV installed on Tuesday this week and after 24 hours the BT Sports channels became available. However this evening I have no access to the channels. Instead I get a message saying a problem with broadband is preventing access and it says I am offline. I do however have wireless broadband access on my PC (download speed shown to be 16.5 Mb). I have re-booted the Hub and Box but the problems remains.
    My TV box is connected by powerline adaptors which I know BT cannot support as they have no control over your internal wiring but nevertheless all was working fine up to this evening so they clearly did work.
    I have read that broadband speed is likely to fluctuate initially so am wondering if this could possibly be causing my problem. Would be grateful for any thoughts or ideas. (Unfortunately I don't have a long enough ethernet cable to test a wired connection at the moment).
    Thanks. 

    Hi,
    A little more info. This morning I rest my modem, hub and powerline adaptors and I can now receive the three BT Sports channels. When I tested my broadband download speed (to my PC) it was 27.8 Mbs whereas yhesterday (when I wasn't receiving the sports channels) it was 16.4 Mbs. 
    I appreciate the speed will be different to my TV box via the powerline adaptors but I assume it is also higher this morning than it was yesterday so is it possible the speed was too low yesterday to receive the sports channels?
    Any help appreciated!
