BT Sport through Sky Box question?

I am thinking of getting BT broadband so I get the free BT Sport HD through my Sky box.
My question is do I need a Sky subscription for it to work?
I am now out of subscription but my sky box still works and I have my viewing card number still..
Thanks

I can answer that in this miasma of confusion. You don't need a Sky sub. You won't be able to record of course.

BT sport through sky

I've just changed to BT BB and phone line and am trying to order the free BT sport to activate. I'm following the links on MY BT to activate but it takes me through the sequence and then says sorry technical error? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how best to solve it?

It's very expensive! However it works and best of all menu contrast is superb for my failing eyesight I could no longer use BT Vision area due to a very poor implementation for those who are partially sighted. BTTV is very poor for those with visual or audio problems.

BT Sport not working on my sky box

Hi
I registered for BT Sport at the beginning of July, and it has been activated, i know this cause I can access it on my phone, and computer, however it is not working on my sky box, I presume that the card no is wrong.
I have phoned the call centre but unfortunately they cant help me, they don't seem to understand my problem, and they told me to unplug my bt vision box, and when I said I have not got a bt vision box, he said he couldn't help me.
Could one of the mods look into this for me please
Thanks

I have spent most of the afternoon to find out why I keep getting the "wrong card" message on my freesatfromsky box and have got absolutely no where so far
The "help" message on the bt sport page says call BT - you do this and after being passed around for over an hour I finally gor through to someone who said that I was set up on the BT system so it's down to sky !!! Oh, and by the way, BT you never rang me back when you said you would!
Tried ringing them and all lines were busy - maybe a few others had the same issue ???
What a farce, will try again later once I've calmed down...

No Multi-Room for BT Sport on Sky?

I was wondering why BT Sports have no Multi-Room avaliable? I find it a constant disappointment because Someone may be watching something else on the one TV and I can't watch it on my other Sky box. Can you please create a Multi-Room where I can watch BT Sport on my two Sky Boxes? Many Thanks.
Solved!

Does BT Sport On Sky Auto Cancel?

I've been a subscriber through SKY since BT Sport started but have now changed to BT for my Fibre too. I remember when first signing up BT Sport was mentioned and i said something along the lines that i already had it through SKY (i relly can't remember the exact way it was worded).
Now obviously as i should now receive it for free through the app/PC i don't need it on SKY anymore and can save myself £16.50 a month, so will it automatically finish on SKY or is there something i need to do to cancel it? Thanks.

I would be proactive and cancel to make sure. Try. 0800 432 0025

Cant get BT Sport on Sky?

Can I get a BT Sport on Sky Platform without being a sky subscription customer?
I have sky as freesat platform and had old viewing card and get all the free channels fine, I regestered the card online but on day the BT Sport the card was not activated.
I spoke to BT customer support as was also having problem getting online viewing working too (a problem with verifiying my account after having it merged so I could use BT Sport online), this has now been resolved and BT Sport online is working fine (starting working fine yesterday), after this conversation I got a new viewing card through post apparently from SKY although not sure how or why, this card is now registerd with BT Sport as viewing card to use apparently. Did BT Sport instigate this as SKY denies sending one out?
However I am getting message that it is incorrect card for box message on have to subscibe channels and the BT sport ones, yesterday I tried the pair box with card as suggested by BT Sport help sections online, entered the info and still no inprovement. Do I need to wait bit logner for this to work?
In between times I also contacted sky about the card, and they seem know nothing the new card and it's not registered on their system.
I tried reregistered old viewing card on BT Sport but it says card not currently active and check if i have newer one.
I'm not sure what i can do next, should I wait bit longer for the paring to complete or do I need to do something else?

That's what they said
It came after had accounts merged, I had originally registered my old viewing card and this was mentioned in the email when started new year contract with newly merged account.
However since then the new card has been registered with BT, im not sure how this happened don't remember mentioning this new card number to anyone at BT, however may of tried registering new card online at some point, hard to remember now after all that has happened since does get confusing as was having problem of verifying me as account holder on newly formed merged account. So trying lots of things to get things working.
Thing is I can't reregister the old card with BT online now, it says its not active.
I'm not sure whether I should persue trying to get the old card reregistered or try getting this new card working, as not been SKY subscriber for over 6/7 years, never had a new card even when they said may lose channels a few years back, the old card is very old a blue one. New one is white.
For all I know neither card may not be active one (as far as sky are concerned), as you can watch freeview sky without card if you dont do any updates. I assume the card reloads channels available on it should a reset or crash occur and need to update box? Not that I'm and expert on these things
Just another thing, would I need box connected to phone line for new channels to be added? I know it allows you to use interactive services and is required if you have subscription with multi-room, but not sure if needed for anything else, I could temporarily connect one if needed, but phone port is on opposite side of room to tv, so having permenant connection would be tricky, reason why one is not connected atm.

BT Sport with Sky Multiroom

So the nice man I just phoned at BT tells me that BT Sport isn't available on sky multiroom. I thought he was kidding. I've got BT Broadband, (Unfortunately - Most reliable Internet connetion my left bum cheek) so the service should be free anyway. Alas, I even offered to pay for the additional box to be registered but apparently it can't be done. So can someone explain what the technical reason for this is? It's hardly an uncommon set up for a household to have more than one sky box, so surely this problem was not an oversight? I half expected it to be a money spinner for BT but for once I couldn't even pay you for your poor service.
In any case, you've given me the choice of watching the Liverpool game over your dreadful internet connection or the pain of watching Celtic with my dad in the living room. Saturday ruined.

If BT's excuse is that it's too expensive, they should levy a charge so they break even - simples.
It's not BT's choice. A commercial agreement is needed and one cannot be reached at a price that makes economic sense.
BTW "simples" just makes you sound like an idiot. Have you ever thought of trying to act and speak like an adult?
Of course one could be reached if BT had the will to do it. It would obviously cheaper than a full 2nd package which BT have also failed to offer.
BTW an ad hominem attack is the last resort of a lost argument
In this case it's just a matter of finding people who quote a puppet from a TV advert in the mistaken belief that it makes them sound clever or pithy, ever so slightly immature and shallow. You're one of about a million posters who do it across the web, there's nothing profound, wise, sassy, original, or witty about it.
A deal has not been reached because the negotiations have failed to produce a price BT are happy with.
That might change, but it also might not and people may find that this is one of those instances in life where stomping feet, posting stroppiness on forums and threatening to go elsewhere won't produce the result they want.
As for a second subscription, without the access to Sky's multiroom authentication system there's no way BT could be sure the second cards were being used in the addresses they're registered to. There's zip reason for them to take the chance.

Sky box issue

Once every few days I will put my sky on from stand-by.
My channels don't show up and say I have signal issues.
I check my signal and my 2 imput is not on and the signal lock is also not showing.
I can only watch tv if I remove power from the sky box and fully restart it.
That's not a form of entertainment if I have to keep going through this every time which is extremely hard for me as I am a wheelchair user and can't do anything unless I have someone come over to fix it.
Could someone please help?
I've done a tv guide refresh and deleted old stuff and also deleted all past deleted programmes.
I've even spoke to people on the phone and they think everything is perfect fine everytime i restart it so they are much help in the long run.

It could be the result of a box fault, or an installation problem - LNB (especially if it's more than 5 years old) or cabling. Replacing the box with a second hand one from ebay or gumtree (or similar) might be an option, or arrange a callout from Sky who will check your setup end to end (and provide 3 months warranty).

Recording on Sky+ box

Is there anyway to record on sky+box with BT sport account. Do I need to get accoumnt with Sky or are BT going to provide the recording facility on the sky platform?

Sky boxes only record if you have a subscription to Sky. That's always been the case.

Extension to plug sky box in (best way)

I am having to put in a extra phone point behind my tv for the sky box, am i better to put this in as a extension or master, i do not want it to interfer with my broadband
Solved!
Go to Solution.

yes just connect 2 wires to terminals 2 & 5 on master and then to 2 & 5 on extension just make sure you get 2 to 2 and 5 to 5. the third wire is the bellwire normally orange and is connected to terminal 3 - it is no longer required and should be removed if connected as it can cause problems with noise as it can act like an aerial

On Channel 4 website not on the Sky box

Is there any reason why a show would be available on the Channel 4 on demand webiste but not available through on demand on the Sky box?

It can take a while for certain programmes to be put onto On Demand or it could be what has already been said above.

Blue box question mark

on some websites the images does not show, instead it just shows blue box question marks. I'm using a macbook air with Yosemite 10.10.1 and Safari 8.0.2. What can I do to make it show the pictures?

The server hosting the images may not be available.
