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

Cant get BT sport

I cant watch BT sport on my tv because, I have been told, my local exchange, Heysham is not capable of handling it yet. This is all very disappointing as the whole point of changing to bt broadband in the first place was for the sport channels. It's not the same watching on my phone! When will this be resolved? Does anyone know? Will it ever be? Surely someone at BT can give me an answer with a date I can look forward to. Hopefully it will be before the football and rugby seasons end.

Antonio do you already have it on a BT box?

I have purchased the "Sky Sports TV" app but since my satellite subscription have been cancelled I cant view the channels anymore. I am unsure why I am paying a monthly fee of £4.99 if this does not entitle me to watch Sky Sports, as there is no other functionality in the app other than watching tv channels ( which I cant do currently)
I will be looking for a full refund for all current and past monthly subscriptions.

There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
In terms of a refund, all purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Hello.
I can confirm that I'm also using ChromeCast with firmware version 19084.
I purchased ChromeCast yesterday in the hope that I would be able to use it to watch bt sport through it, and so far, it hasn't worked once.
YouTube and GooglePlay video work fine.
I'm using the BT Sport App on an LG G3 and can watch the channels fine directly on the phone through the app, but I get the same error on screen as falco76 when I try to cast it to my TV.
Please help!!
I've tried turning my router, mobile phone and ChromeCast off and on again to no avail.
Regards,
James

How Do I Drop All Sports Channels?

Ok, so how do I drop ALL sports channels. Nobody here watches any sports, that I know.

You can't.
Generally, which channels are in which packages is governed by the contract.
Someone like ESPN can require that it be available to all.
Smaller channels (both sports and non sports) may only require basic.
As the cable provider pays the content provider for everyone one that can watch (not necessarily does watch)
a channel, it is a dance to get the channel in the most packages while making it profitable.
That is why you will see channels in the lower tier and the highest tier, but not the middle.

Any APP available yet for watching BT Sport of SMA...

Been a long while since I last checked, can watch BT sports on PC ... but obvious place to watch it is on SMARTTV ... have BT got around to prodcuing an app yet ?
Like Demand4 ITVPlyaer etc.
It is frustrating having the BT sports channel in the channel list but not being able to access them, and as PC is in different part of house ... that is not an option.
I know I could use a phone but don't want to tie another device to the TV.

I don't see how it is a Logistical nightmare my SMART TV has Apps for many viewers .. BBC, ITV, 4oD, Ch5, Netflix, BBC Sport, Amazon, BlinkBox, TED, GOLD, Youtube, Vimeo etc. These companies seem to keepo up to date with no isssues.
If BT Sports wish to be taken serioulsy then provision of a player would be an obvious direction ... it is frustrating when BT tell me I get this free as a customer but cannot view it on TV without buying seperate h/w.
The whole premise of SMART TV apps is that you can watch without seperate h/w
A year ago BT said it was planned.

Cancelled Sky, now how to watch BT sport

A cancelled sky subscription card 'reverts' to a free sat from sky card, which will enable you to watch BT Sport with that card on a sky card/box.
Just like lots of people do, myself included.

I cant watch netflix on ipad, it wont let me download update because ipad doesnt have ios 4

When i click on the netflix app, it says to update to the latest version of the app. So when i try to download the update to the app, it tells me i cant download the app because my original ipad does not have ios 4. So now i cant watch netflix on my ipad at all?? Please help.

Hmmmm, what to do. I know.......update your software on your iPad . If you have iOS 3.x a lot has changed, and you need to connect your iPad to your computer and install the latest OS via iTunes. You're missing the cloud and a lot of great new features. A lot of upgrades have come and gone since you last updated. The current version is 5.1.1

HD package confusion - sports channels and Extreme HD

I'm a recent FIOS convert from Optimum. After about 10 days I can say I am very pleased for the most part with the new service. Picture quality is better and I like the guide and DVR features better than my Optimum STB.
The one problem I have had surfaced on the day of my installation. I ordered the Extreme HD package along with the movie promo package for 3 months. When I went to test my new gear with the Golf Channel HD it showed "not subscribed" and my installer explained that I wouldn't be getting that (or Tennis, which I also wanted) if I wasn't also subscribed to a Sport Package.
I pulled out the channel line-up document I was given when I placed the order at Verizon kiosk. It's the "Downstate New York August 2009" color brochure. In it there is a big red box for "Extreme HD" that says (quoting now) "EXTREME HD includes all channels in the box below & in FIOS TV Local. Additional subscriptions may be added. To order this package or other subscription packages go to verizon.com/fiostvcentral." All of the sport channels, including Golf, Tennis, NFL, etc. are listed in the box and there is nothing to suggest that additional subscriptions are needed. That's what the salesman confirmed.
So, my poor installer guy said he couldn't do anything. I called Verizon, got shuffled around a bit, and finally got to someone who tried explaining that the brochure in my hand wasn't actually the one for the area I live in. And yet my community is one of those listed under Local Programming.
In the end what he offered to do was to give me the additional sport package subscription for a discount for the next 12 months. At that point I was tired of spending time on the phone. But I am still not happy about it.
Has anybody had a similar experience? It's the only black mark on my FIOS so far, but it's a pretty big one.

Believe me, I have been over this thing with a magnifying glass looking for something like that. It just isn't there. Of course, there is the standard language at the end of the brochure that "Programming services offered within each package are subject to change..."
Still, it feels a bit like bait and switch. I was getting Golf and Tennis (both SD and HD) in Optimum for no additional charges.

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.

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

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?

I can watch BT Sports & ESPN on TV, but nothing "L...

Can someone please shed some light on my subject problem, as BT helplines (for the last week) have been about as useful as a CHOCOLATE TEAPOT!!!!
What confuses me, and probably the BT helpline, is the fact that I can view old BT Sports & ESPN video stuff on my computer - but no "live" broadcasts. All I get is the error message err: VC025
but BT's following steps to fix the issue don't work!:
First make sure you’re connected to the internet
Refresh the page and try again
Log out of the app and back in again
If this doesn't work, you could try clearing the app's data and cache.
Even more confusing, is that I can watch Sky Sports LIVE on my computer (which my son pays for) - so somewhere along the line it appears there is a problem with BT!
However, unless BT get their act together, I will be contacting my solicitor, as BT have taken my money under false pretences, as I've paid £49 (one-off BT Vision activation charge, plus £5 per month for BT Vision Essential). Also, my service was activated 3 days ago (at least 5 days after it was scheduled), and that was because I rang up to complain that I could not receive their Sports package on my TV - and was stunned when they admitted that they had forgot to activate their signal to my Freeview TV aerial !!! Also I am confused by what they describe in their billing ( BT Vision Essential ), when they have sent me a YOUVIEW Box, which I think I have correctly installed.
Also being a small BT shareholder, I'm naturally worried about BT's future share price, when all the bad publicity regarding this blighted launch of their TV & Internet Sports service starts to make "the City" wobble , and BT's share price to head south :-(
Any suggestions on how to get my BT Sports.com internet service to work, would be very welcome :-)

Eeeeeer...... tvwatcher, I can assure you I'm not in a "black spot"! ......... far from it, as I am on one of the highest hills in South East Essex, and can choose from Southern, Eastern & London TV signals - get Norfolk's coverage as clear as crystal, and to add salt to your wound, one of my roof designedl aerials is hanging by a bit of string in the loft
And I hope you are not calling me a liar, as the BT Customer Service guy (who was English - not Indian), did say " We omitted to switch on your BT Sports & ESPN service to your surface aerial" Wot perhaps he meant to say, was "We forgot to switch on the tv signal (to everyone) in this reception area!"
If you could be on the other side of the fence during the day(with BT Sports Customer service), I'm sure you would hear many more "unbelievable" conversations, as the average wait time to speak to someone, must be an all-time record in the UK, since phone-in customer service was first introduced in ........... 1970's???
BT's C.S. teams must be under an all-time record pressure, as the product launch appears to have been planned on some remote Carriibean island, where the customers numbered ONE MAN & HIS DOG!
As a small BT shareholder ............. I fear the worst! However, no doubt some white knight in shining armour, will be hired @ immense cost, and ride into BT Sports' Customer Service current mayhem on a pristine white horse (a seasoned SKY TV man, for instance), and get things organised with a SUPER plan of action, with achievable timelines, so that all will be sorted in a couple of months .......... hopefully
