TV Anywhere again

I thought to myself .. im away from home .. i subscribe to the top VM package so i think i will watch the F1 GP on my android tablet.

So i load up tv anywhere find Sky sports F1 .. click watch and it asks me do i want to watch it on my tablet.

So i click yes and all i get is

This channel is exit to watch on the Sky sports app

Then all i keep getting is Unexpected error

So it looks like im paying VM for a substandard service .... before we were directed to sky sports i could watch whatever sports i liked

Re: TV Anywhere again

Sky restrictions require you to use the official Sky Apps and not the VM app, vent any frustration to Sky, nothing VM can do

Why would you want to use the VM app anyway , Sky allow streaming over 3G/4G the Sky Sports app also has companion features for special events in football , cricket , football etc.

Re: TV Anywhere again

As far as i was concerned you had to use TV anywhere and get redirected to sky ... i was not aware you could go through the Sky sports app

aye the tv anywhere app is atrocious as it doesnt allow streaming over 3g/4g. if i want to waste my data allowance away let me...

but yes to watch sky sports you need to download the sky app from the app store. log in with your vm details once you see the vm icon. its a very good app. very fast and good quality picture

Same here , I get "unexpected error, please try again later" sky sports app was working fine last week.
Solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the app
