  • 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
