Can I Watch BT Sport On My BT Youview Box WITHOUT ...

Hi
I hope I have a simple question that has a simple answer!
I have a recently supplied by BT Youview box(Humax I believe). BT line rental and BT Broadband as well. I am in an area that does NOT get Affinity.
Can I get BT Sport on my Youview box? If so, how do I go about it?
I used the online chat assistant(32 minute wait) and the person there said I could-but as we got further in to the conversation she said she didn't know how to enable it as she was actaully from the billing department and didn't know how to do it :-( She said she'd pass me on to their techincal people to help me and she'd call me straight away. She did this and asked me to close ALL BT windows on my computer before she could pass me on. I did this. Only to find I had been put in a queue for some Bt helpline :-( After 38 minutes of being told BT were very busy, but that they would get to my call as soon as possible-the call simply disconnected. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, not sure why they treat customers like that but it certainly makes you think twice about migrating to SKY :-(
Anyway, I've spent ages on the phone and the computer trying to enable BT Sport without success. All I really want to know is: can I have BT Sport on my recently supplied BT Youview box with BT Broadband on a BT line? If I can, how do I do it? If not, will it be available to me any time soon?
I hope I have given enough info to help answer this simple question but if not PLEASE don't hesitate to ask for more detail.
Many, many thanks to anyone that can help clear up this frustrating issue for me :-)

Thanks for that. The thought of trying to get back through to BT again fills me full of dread :-( I think I'll pass on that and give up hope.
Thanks again for the help.

You would really have to speak to BT about that. (sorry).They would have to release you from your current contract and restart you with a BT vision box.
My fear is that they would charge you for the Youview box you currently have as it only becomes "your" box after you have completed a 1 year contract.

  • When can I watch BT Sport after ordering broadband...

    I'm confused. I ordered BT Broadband on Sunday and am sure that somewhere I saw that I could have BT Sport on my SKY digital platform within 24 hours? Two days on it hasn't happened. The helpful people on the BT phone lines have told me after taking my SKY card details that it will happen in 30 minutes, it didn't . And in a marathon hour long call this evening ended up with me being told that I would only be able to watchbBT Sport on my TV when my broadband is activated on 17th Feb. However in an email exchange with BT just now says I should be able to watch BT Sport within 24 hours of placing an order! Who is right? Help me out here, I'm losing the will to live!

    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.
    What is going on?

  • Can not watch BT Sport on PC

    I have had access to BT Sport on my Sky box for a long time, but have been trying to get it on my PC since october 2013.
    I have had many hours of phone calls and remote support sesions, issue passed up to second line support.
    Some time ago they managed to fix the problem that I could not activate bt sport but I still am unable to watch as I get a message "Your BT ID is correct but you don't have BT Sport on your account".
    I have got BT Sport on my account with a watch now button. If I use the button and click through to watch BT Sport I get the message and a link to activate, if I follow the link to actvate I am told that I have already got BT Sport. The people in India do not seem to be able to fix this, can the moderators help ?

    Had another call from Neil today (12/09/14), to say that my BT Sport oder had been resubmited and could I log in and test it.
    Sadly I found no change, I still had exactly the same error :-
    Your BT ID is correct but you don't have BT Sport on your account.
    Have you got BT Broadband? BT Sport is FREE, but you need to activate BT Sport before you can log in to the online player.Activate now.
    Have you ordered BT Sport in the last hour? It could take up to an hour for us to update our records, please bear with us.
    I had to wait about 6 hours to test it as I was out when he called, and MY BT shows BT Sport activated.
    More investigations needed.

  • 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

  • Can't watch NBC sports live extra

    I am watching NBC sports right now. ManU vs Stoke and saw the advertisement about nbc sports live extra and it's ability to let you watch live on ur iPad. I downloaded the app and got his msg:
    To watch videos, you will need to subscribe to FiOS TV with NBCSPORTS
    How is that so when I am watching it on the TV at this moment?

    I found out what to do. Verizon Live Chat's agent told me to uninstall and reinstall the NBC Sports Live Extra app on my iPad. I did that. When I did, I found that it still remembered that Verizon FiOS is my TV provider, so I didn't have to sign back in. And live feeds now work!

  • Watching bt sport using a sky + hd box

    Currently i have the bt broadband/phone /tv package with a vision + box recieving standard broadband as fibre is not yet available where i live.My question is this.........I have a sky + hd box from when i used to have sky(im no longer a sky customer) and i would like to know if i can watch bt sport through this sky box so i can watch the sport in hd quality rather than the patchy picture i get now through the ariel.I still have my old sky viewing card in the sky + box but would it still be active/recognised by sky?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You need to cancel sports on your box and then ask for it to be activated on Sky which will start a new contract. You need to do this by phone however as I found when I took this route,

  • Why can't I use a Vision+ and a YouView Box

    Hi,
    I'm with BT and pay £5 a month for BT Vision. I have their YouView box in one room. They only allow BT Sport on the YouView box if you have fibre and there's no fibre in my area. I asked BT if I could run a YouView box and BT Vision box at the same time and they said no. I ordered a BT Vision Card for a tenner via the online BT shop and bought a BT Vision+ box off eBay for 99p. My assumption was that I couldn't run both boxes at the same time (ie connected to the hub)......not a problem I can only watch one TV at a time!
    I've disconnected the YouView from the BT Hub and connected the Vision+ Box but I get a C03 message saying my Vision+ isn't activated. Am I right in thinking BT must be able to activate one of two Vision services depending on the box? My initial assumption was that only one box could physically be connect at any one time. 
    Has anyone else experienced similar? Is there any way around this? Seems unfair as I am a BT Vision customer, I am paying £5 a month and if I want to watch BT Sport I have to give up my YouView box. BT say I can watch their channel via the web.....not being funny but a simple google search and I could watch their channel without even needing to sign up!!!!!
    Thanks
    Louis

    It sounds like the 99p BT Vision+ box is running the Classic software rather than the New Look software. This is something you really should have checked before buying a second hand box. Once such boxes are deactivated they are effectively a door-stop unless BT choose to reactivate them. The box would need to be reactivated and then BT would need to send the New Look software upgrade to it in order for you to be able to use the viewing card for BT Sport.
    I don't know, but suspect that BT would be reluctant to activate and upgrade a box that wasn't issued to you directly by them. They have been gradually turning off the Classic software over the last year or so and it involves older licensing agreements with Microsoft and content providers. Plus it might cause the central system problems now that you have a newer BT Youview box associated with your account. I suppose there's no harm in asking though? 

  • Can I watch a project's finished video full-screen without exporting?

    I wonder if I can manage my polished videos in FCP 7's projects and watch them in full screen mode just as I have done in Aperture 3 without having to export them first.

    You can watch them full screen using FCP's Digital Cinema Desktop mode ... under the View menu, choose Video Playback > "Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Main" ... and then press Cmd-F12 (keyboard shortcut for View menu > External Video > All Frames)
    Press the spacebar to start/stop playback (same transport controls as usual) and then press Esacpe (or Cmd-F12 again) to toggle turn it off.
    Note that this mode is not offering a broadcast quality preview, but just a reasonably good fullscreen proxy of one.

  • How can we get a value in a drop down box without refreshing the page

    In my application i am having 14 drop down boxes. On selcting a particular value in a drop down box i am doing its corresponding functionality. I would like to get these values without refreshing the page each and every time i select a text box, Is it possible to get these values without refreshing the page each and every time.
    Raghu

    There is a new hype going on called AJAX. It is either that, or dumping a lot of information in javascript arrays and reading the information from there when you make selections. I would choose AJAX.

  • 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

  • Do I need YouView box for BT Sport

    Hi. I have just signed up to BTSport and Infinity and received Youview box. At present I don't see BT Sport channels but I suspect I haven't yet been setup for it (4th Feb apparently).
    My question is simple do I actually need the Youview box? - more clutter ! - On my Samsung SmartTV I have all the Freeeview and on-demand channels anyway and I also see Freeview channels for BT Sport 1 and 2 so is it possible to ditch it and just use the TV ?
    ps - how do you change the colour hue on it - its much to rich and bright out of the box?
    Thanks

    You need something to stream the sports channel. The youview box is the best way (also allows it in hd if you pay for HD), but you can also use laptop or Chromecast if you don't want another box. There is talk of a smart TV app but I think this is a bit down the list of improvements at the moment so don't expect anything this year...
    The freeview sports channels have gone (BT 2 has already ceased transmitting and 1 is due to stop about June), there is no option to sign up for these anyway without the old vision box as you need the cam slot (not to mention BT don't accept sign up anymore). They were always just a short term option until the bb coverage was at an acceptable level.

  • Cant get my BT Sport (or new You View Box)

    I have fibre to the Premises and for the last few months I have been trying to claim my free BT Sport.
    I tick the box for my Phone Number (which I have had for 18 years at this address) and added my postcode but after a while i get the following mesage.
    Sorry, a technical error has occurred. Please contact us on 0800 800 150 and select the billing department to continue with this order.
    After previous experiences The last thing I want to do is have a long conversation with India.
    Im now having a similar problem upgrading to my free You View Box following the email recieved yesterday telling me the orriginal BT Vision box service will end in June.
    Is there a number in the UK for my problems.
    Brian

    Yes
    0800 800 150. It depends what options you want whether you go through to India.
    Sorting out BT sport or  a new Youview box should not involve being transferred to India. Speaking to a UK number does not guarantee speaking to a born and bred cockney though.
