  • joalhe1997 Joel Heritage (@joalhe1997) reported from Manchester, England

    @hazcraig1 @C4Sport @Channel4 @SkySports partly admittedly because it's not their thing, but also because many have never had any exposure to cricket. I got into cricket because of the 2005 Ashes (the last FTA matches), don't think I would have otherwise. It inspired me to pick up a bat and ball and go out and play...

  • mowfie April Mowforth (@mowfie) reported from Preston, England

    @SkyHelpTeam sick of these problems with recording on sky Q. It was showing on the app as recording but wasn’t recording on the sky box. Really wish I hadn’t upgraded to this it’s been nothing but trouble!

  • Mega_Beltz 𝕭𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖙𝖔𝖓 (@Mega_Beltz) reported from Bolton, England

    All I want to do is find the customer service number for Sky and I feel like I’m doing my GCSE’s again. I don’t want to answer 500 questions. I’m trying to find out where something is!!!! @SkyUK

  • jakemac97 Jake McLaughlin (@jakemac97) reported from Wigan, England

  • lindawemyss1 Linda Wemyss (@lindawemyss1) reported

    @kalrando More than likely won’t even be on @SkySports until after 11.00pm as it’s not on until after the Texas Open finishes! Can’t see that happening to any of the Men’s Majors-poor show @SkySports

  • Vanhulious7 spartacus the lizard ☃️🦓🦩👱‍♀️🦶 (@Vanhulious7) reported

    @SkySports No offence but he has always been a **** player. That ******* skip thing he did was worse than a 3 legged dog 🐶 bodypoping

  • Nadine2512014 Nadine (@Nadine2512014) reported

    Is it just me or is other people have problem's with there @SkyUK Internet?.

  • andrewm57911187 andrew munro (@andrewm57911187) reported

    @SkyFootball @SkySports For **** sake Twitter needs to be managed everybody needs to be accountable, it’s totally out of hand if keyboard wankers can hide behind faceless profile

  • JoeBoyrmd Joe Boyce (@JoeBoyrmd) reported

    @SkySports Why, he's ****

  • MMA_Stig Brian Discombe 💙 (@MMA_Stig) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam can you tell me why some recordings on my 2Tb Q box are showing as part recorded with Software issue quoted? This has happened more than once this week.

  • VsyncG SVY Vsync (@VsyncG) reported

    @Dasher_FN @SkyHelpTeam fix this also give them a ring apparently that fixes

  • ToonArmySun Horacio's Llamas (@ToonArmySun) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam OK, looks like I'll have to do that. But to be clear: watching on my Android, no problem, watching on my desktop PC, no problem. Wanting to watch on my Xbox, no luck. I don't understand why I need to pay more to watch on a different type of device when it works on a PC and phone.

  • AlfieMac91 Alfie (@AlfieMac91) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam 2/2 Due to a faulty sky router and a system error your end. I am now without internet, have 3 sky q mini boxes that don’t work, wife unable to work from home and this will be for at least 9 days 6 years of nearly £100 a month and never missed a bill Unacceptable
