Unable to watch BT Sport Live programs on my Mac M...

I have a valid account and can watch BT Sport live on my daughter's macbook air, using google Chrome, but on my Mac Mini running OSx 10.6.8 it won't work on safari, firefox or chrome. I've uninstalled and re-installed MS silverlight, as requested, and emptied the cache of each browser, but no joy.
1.  On safari 5.1.10 when I try to watch live, the screen remains blank.
2.  On firefox 32.0.2 it just keeps telling me to install Silverlight, even after I have done so, and then re-started firefox.
3.  On chrome 37.0.2062.122 it gives me a vcr019 error and err 6003, which the BT support page says means silverlight isn't working with my computer, which may be due to a setting.
BT say that as it works fine on the Macbook air I have, that it must be a setting or settings on the mac mini and I need to refer to vendor but it was bought late 2009 so is out of support.
Anyone had similar problems and can advise what to try?
Thank You.
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.32

  • 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!

  • Unable to watch BT Sport in full screen

    I am able to watch BT Sport on PC but when I select to watch on full screen the PC freezes and then I am advised that "Internet Explorer is not working". I have tried using Google Chrome and the same problem occurs. However, when i use a laptop via wifi it works Ok.
    My PC is a Dell, with IE11, windows 7 with service pack 1, has 6.0GB of RAM, and an intel processor @ 2.67GHz.
    Has anybody come across this problem before ?

    A credit to Google Chrome but one in the eye for the mighty Internet Explorer.
    Thanks to Ribblelancs for help - confirms once again that BT helpdesk hasn't a clue in solving customers problems and the forum wins as always. 
    I was just treading carefully.
    If BT Sport works with Chrome, you may be better off keeping it that way.
    IE11 doesn't run BT Sport for me either. It did once! It does not load the item that I want to watch - but it doesn't freeze IE11
    Dell Support has a link installed on the PC, as you already know. It alerts you to updates.
    However some of the updates appear to arrive later than they have been issued, as they have to be approved.
    In my case, HP has a similar link, and it's just installed a (HP) cooling fan software update, after a search - no warning, nothing.

  • Lenovo G550 unable to install any Windows Live programs

    So I just recieved my G550 for the holidays, and the first thing I tried loading onto it was Windows Live mail and messenger. However, the install fails. I have tried several times with different downloads of it, but it does not work.
    Can someone help me figure out why? Or am I just going to have to use trillain and Firebird?

  • 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

    BT says:

    Safari
    The Silverlight plug-in is not supported on Google Chrome on Macs. We recommend that you use the Safari browser instead.
    Since you said it works on Chrome on the Air that indicates BT's sight is outdated. I would:
    Test the the SilverlIght installation by:

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not sure what you are asking, but if you want to watch TV stations you can watch on your mac in a web browser on the Apple TV instead, I'm sorry you can't do that.

  • How do I watch a live program my iPad?

    How do watch a live program on my iPad. y>
    How

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Ensure that the iPad and the Apple TV both have up to date software and are on the same network and that AirPlay isn't disabled in the Apple TV settings. Start the movie on the iPad, tap the AirPlay icon and select the Apple TV from the resulting menu.

  • While watching a live program my voice keeps going off and on

    while watching a live program, like the news, the sound keeps going off and on sometimes takes a long time to come back on?
    I have checked my connections and they are secure so I would appreciate a little help with this, I am not a very smart computer person so have patience please.

    Make sure the manual of the monitor says it supports the frequencies you are choosing.
    Make sure the amp in use by all devices plugged in does not exceed the amps your circuitbreaker/fuse supports in that portion of the house.

  • Broadband Usage watching BT Sports online using BT...

    I have been charged for going over the 10GB limit. We do not stream apart from watching TV sports via the application at home where we have BT broadband.
    I phoned BT this morning and they say, watching BT sports via the APP COUNTS TOWARDS USAGE. I have read the terms and as you say this does not count towards usage:
    "How much broadband can I use?
    Also, great news if you're a sports fan. Any content you watch or stream via the BT Sport app and online player using your BT Broadband connection will not count against your broadband usage limit, so you can enjoy great live sport without the worry."
    Who should I contact with this issue, as BT customer services say watching the APP counts towards USAGE and therefore I am being charged for exceeding the limit.
    Solved!

  • 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,

  • Hi, trying to watch Sky TV on laptop - installed Silverlight but error message says unable to watch Sky while in a private browser. Can I come out of this thru Firefox?

    Hi, trying to watch Sky TV on laptop - installed Silverlight but error message says unable to watch Sky while in a private browser. Can I come out of this thru Firefox?

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • 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.
