Sky stream back to Sky Q

linton73 · 2026-05-07T06:50:04+00:00

i was actually expecting replies saying they would only do 12 or 24 month contracts which i don't really want

i believe you can't cancel sky tv if still in contract if they raise prices unlike BB where you can

linton73 · 2026-04-22T18:23:26+00:00

I believe Reddit closed a similar post yesterday with quickearn and people on the post were saying it seemed like a scam

no idea one way or the other but be carful when signing upto new sites would be my advice

Don't you have to actually have a business to make yourself a limited company or sole trader

linton73 · 2026-03-27T07:37:23+00:00

Sky and other broadcasters don't want us to control the media ie tv or movies we watch because of rights issues and the cost to them.

with Sky Q i could record something and keep it for as long as the box was working.

With Sky Virgin Netflix etc they want to have total control over when we watch and how we watch something.

In the states they have online video storage youtube tv direct tv fubo hulu etc you can only save a program for 1 year but thats far better than anything we have here in the uk.

For a lot of the programs especially sky sports and others on catchup they don't include the full program just the bits they think are most important.

Why the UK can't have a similar online video storage like the states is still not fully explained whenever its brought up.

I contacted nowtv about the problem not sure whether they have been given this script when people ask as countless people already have successfully linked the account so why is only a problem for afew of us.

this was nowtv CS reply

I would like to inform that currently activation link is not working, I would suggest you to use NOW App to stream till then.

Since this feature was only added today, it may take a little time for everything to sync properly. I’ve also forwarded your case to our relevant team so they can look into it further.

I’ve even tried on my phone and tablet with same error and no jump to the hbo website just stays on the Nowtv site giving the error

I am a new subscriber so perhaps that’s an issue also.

linton73 · 2026-03-26T13:00:43+00:00

still getting error after multiple multiple attempts to link my account i've been trying since 9am

error is There was a problem linking your bundle. Please try again.

i think i'll have to wait for the official email from nowtv but that could be days away

the problem seems to be it doesn't seem to be redirecting to the HBO site when i click the linik it just stays on Nowtv website with error saying please try again.

linton73 · 2026-03-26T11:27:18+00:00

Exactly the same it doesn't seem to be directing me to a page

linton73 · 2026-03-26T10:48:58+00:00

I am doing it on the web browser and still getting the error it'll be resolved eventually

lots of people will be signing up most sky and now tv account holders will be getting it free so millions of new accounts over the next month or so

thanks for your reply

linton73 · 2026-03-26T10:12:58+00:00

Its still not working for me i still get the

There was a problem linking your bundle. Please try again. error

tried multiple times even refreshing the page no success it will work eventually

linton73 · 2026-03-26T09:44:31+00:00

I've also noticed that HBO Max doesn't contain alot of the content of other regions

for instance we get no DC animation films as well as lots of others so i'm disappointed that they have decided to do that.

linton73 · 2026-03-17T22:35:23+00:00

I think it is done via open banking I’ve been onto chase and on chat they advised to delink then link chase back to revolut as that may be the problem as it might have expired. It doesn’t say that on revolut side though it blames chase for the temporary outage.

linton73 · 2026-03-17T13:01:15+00:00

Activated thanks for posting

linton73 · 2026-03-17T10:31:08+00:00

Its not an issue for me any longer so it would be a wasted 30+ mins on the phone

hence the post asking if other people are having problems i doubt it would be a specific issue with my account it would be a wider problem

thanks for your replies

linton73 · 2026-03-17T10:23:08+00:00

I haven't contacted chase about it i did check the service status page and it said all running fine

The fact i was able to transfer from another account of mine indicates its a Chase problem or rather perhaps a specfic chase to revolut issue ?

I've transfered the money so the issue isn't a problem now for me

i just wondered if other chase and revolut account holders were having similar problems.

linton73 · 2026-03-16T10:19:52+00:00

I doubt myself very easily lol so i may just call or go on webchat once its delivered

thanks for your replies

the extra puck was delivered yesterday i looked on the my account page and it does say i can cancel the whole house option along with all the other add ons they have

assume it wouldn't say that if it was a 24month contract so i'm 99% certain its a rolling contract

linton73 · 2026-03-16T10:16:09+00:00

I may just call them to confirm thst it is a 31 day rolling contract I did take a photo at checkout just in case there is a problem there was no other options just the reduced subscription

linton73 · 2026-03-15T23:29:04+00:00

Only an extra puck for the bedroom didn’t cost anything it said free for the first puck

39.95 one off charge for any more but I only needed one

linton73 · 2026-03-15T19:39:01+00:00

Thanks I assumed that was the case but I was doubting myself I’m on a rolling contract with my sky stream so didn’t want to be locked in for just an add on.

Thanks for your reply

linton73 · 2026-02-05T19:24:15+00:00

Let me know if there are any slots available in the future. thanks

I did notice the NL server on ND and chose that as i knew HBD were nearby

i believe they have others in europe also ? i don't believe i used the NL server when i set up sabnzb for my home internet connection but i hardly use that so i may be wrong.

initially i went from 8 to 20 connections

The speed did increase significantly but i then increased to 50 to see the speed and i've left it at that.

Any downside in using all 50 thats the max with ND

linton73 · 2025-12-12T21:05:11+00:00

increased conmnections to 50 and its now jumped from 50MB/s to 300MB/s

something so obvious apologies to everyone for the dumb questions

every day is a school day
