Pass Required / You need a pass to start watching

Hi all!

Today I bought a Sky Sports Mobile Month pass for NowTV but whenever I try use the app on my iPhone or iPad it says that I don't have a pass. When I go to 'My Account' it tries to fetch a pass but it stops immediately after.

 

Clearly I have paid for this service so it is strange that the app doesn't recognise this. 

 

What can I do about this?

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

The NowTV Mobile pass only works on a smartphone (not tablet).

 

Also with a Mobile Sports Pass you are only entitled to watch 5 number Sky Sports channels only which are Premier League, NFL (Action) Arena, Racing (Horses) and News.

 

Have you tried any of these five channels using the NowTV App (not internet browser) on your phone ?

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

If you have a Mobile Sports Pass, then you won't be able to watch the IPL cricket, which is on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Cricket.

 

The Mobile pass only covers five channels which is Premier League, NFL, Arena, Racing & News using the NowTV App on a smartphone.

 

To watch cricket you would need a full NowTV day or month Sports Pass.

 

Have a read of this about the NowTV Sports Passes.
