Have tried this and does not work.

Did you try the Kodi method?
I managed to install through kodi but I can’t log in, get a “unauthorised ac” pop up
Have you had any luck as i also have the same error code
Same here. This site got my hopes all built up after the PS3 stopped being compatible.
But even if I down load earlier version, still get the same error
I’ve followed all the steps for the Kodi method and all worked fine, however when I try to log in to the Sky Go app in Kodi, it keeps saying login unauthorized despite the details being correct!? Help please?!
Have tried both methods and no Joy. The Kodi method gets to the login page but it then says unauthorised user. I live in the UK and have a sky go account. Not sure if its because it takes me to the SKY Go New Zealand and wont let a UK account login.
Had same problem as David L. Tried Kodi method but this downloads a New Zealand sky go so I couldn’t access it in uk. Guess need vpn software?
Yes, Adrain you would need a VPN and then connected to the UK server.
I have tried both the Jodi method and the downloader, with kodi I get the account not authorised pop up, and with downloader error cod 20190005
Yes, Gill. Both of these methods are currently not working and we’re trying to get another fix for that.
