    @SkyHelpTeam is there anything you can do to help with this?

  • hairymonkeypits hairy monkey pits (@hairymonkeypits) reported

    Why are @skysports obsessed with zooming in so we can see the players nostrils? For 10 years I've never understood the thought process of zooming in so close, then out, and we miss so much. #GrandFinal #StHelens #WiganWarriors

  • muff5 Ben Murphy (@muff5) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam our internet has been down since 3pm , both working from home, no entertainment whatsoever for the children. Paying £100+ a month and no service. Been on the phone for 3 hours with no response at all. Sort it out

  • bishop2_jo Jo Steventon (@bishop2_jo) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I already have Sky Q but when I turn the box on, no channels are loading. I’ve tried a hard reset but doesn’t solve anything. I’ve had the box for a while now so have been thinking about getting a new one anyway. Thanks in advance for the help!

  • lambourne67 Lambourne67 (@lambourne67) reported

    @SkySportsPL Why is every Manager linked with @ManUtd ?They sit above City and Arsenal so perhaps Ralph should be linked with them too. Media in this country is riddled with lazy journalists that really need to get out more! @SkySports are probably the worst.

  • tormey7 Niall Tormey (@tormey7) reported

    @Gibsroysimpson @SkySports Was watching it Should never of missed the drop goal

  • alastairjgilroy Alastairjgilroy (@alastairjgilroy) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Any idea why all devices, consoles, smart TVs etc are blocking Netflix, Prime Video, Now TV. All getting error codes. It's not all these other companies with errors, it's something to do with our Sky WiFi.
