Sky Player Xbox 360 Problems

TalkXbox reports: "Well, this is certainly not what Microsoft and Sky hoped for on their Sky Player debut for the Xbox 360. We have received numerous reports from our readers that they are not able to access the service after downloading the Sky Player. We tried it ourselves and received the following error: "Can't connect to the SKY Player Service. Error codes: 0C01/8009/0304"....

fail
only on xbox360

[chrisulloa]

Lol, at least they don't suck at console launches.

[N4G king]

lol

99.99% of those that got a 360 on launch day went back home
started that thing
3 red lights blinking
and they all were like "is that okay ??"

and the first xbox got no one in that day
so yah

@chrisulloa

You do know the PS3 is third fastest console sold of all time right ? So it sold more than the 360 in its launch, though you should know that.

[chrisulloa]

Um 360 sold 6 million on their 2006 launch, Sony only sold like 100k on their launch with only 8 games available.

[xTruthx]

@chrisulloa

You really need to do some research, and pleas name me all the games 360 launch with. I wanna see how well inform you are

[n9com]

The TalkXbox news post has been updated. A MS rep has confirmed that Sky are aware of the technical issues and are working on resolving them.

[Foliage]

In other words, the PS3 beta is seeing problems on the 360. Nothing new here.

[N4G king]

@1.2
yah im sure they'll fix it before it comes to the PS3
because you know all beta versions got problems

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

Don't tell me 360 gamers are beta-testing Sky Player for the PS3 again...

[cRaZyLeGs 93]

I watched sky news this morning, pretty good. Went to set up an account and BAM! the sky player website was down. :(

[XBLGT B1GMACNFR1ES]

mines has been working fine from tuesday. i did get the error but came back later and its fine. they have took it off the dash atm. but if you dloaded before they took it off then you can use it now. press the guide btton. instant play. flick it left one do your on dloads the simply press A on the sky tab. it will load up no problems.

[n9com]

Actually, it is a problem with Sky's servers, nothing to do with Xbox 360.

[dkblackhawk]

But the problem COULD be on the Xbox 360 side to, you just don't know it yet.

[Bereaver]

I would completely agree if you were getting Sky on the computer, but it's ON the 360, so I think it is in fact, relating to the 360. Regardless if this is an MS issue or not, it still effects and hampers the 360's ability. *cough* moron *cough*

[Cueil]

Don't be an jerk... it's obviously a server side issue since you have to connect to Xbox Live to get to the SKY service

[Bereaver]

Don't be a Jerk, it's not like all of Microsoft's systems runs on a single server.

But yeah, it's not a 360 "hardware" issue, if that's what you mean.

You might want to rephrase your comment.

[PlayStation X]

look at all of you trying to not blame it on 360 lol

its microsofts sh1tty coding, nothing to do with the servers.

[artgamer]

Problems ? regarding a Microsoft product ? No way...

[Golfcoachh]

No. Really? Not on N4G. I can't believe it.

[Shang-Long]

he may be a fan boy...but u know hes right..

sky servers are the biggest laugh out there,i use virgin hd which gives you all the channels of sky which you can record, rewind.even shows you missed hours or days ago you can watch them with the catch up feature in an instant.streaming shows from the internet is old tech couple that with sky,s use less servers and youv,e got this.sky player is so slow its laughable.

[PlayStation X]

you dont know what your talking about so just shut up.

[n9com]

It is not just effecting Xbox 360, Sky Player is also not working on the PC.

[Ronnie07]

I just tried on the PC. It is working.

Hope this is sorted by tonight, wana watch the United game on it

[n9com]

hmm, it's working on the pc now? have you tried the xbox again?

[dirthurts]

A server error.

[CRAIG667]

I got laid off work last friday so have been trying to get this working ALL day,gutted its just not having it,was really lokking forward to this but im not so sure anymore? and its bloody pricey-15quid a month!? you may aswell get a full blown sky experience for that money,the only thing is about that is the 12/18 month minimum contract,which i certainly dont want tbh.

Oh well im sure i shall give it a go for a couple of months when its fixed anywho.

[kaveti6616]

Aw, dude that sucks. Good luck finding another job.

[iistuii]

I have sky anyway and due to me having the broadband package,don't have to pay anything for the xbox, so my son can now watch sky in his room , cool i say.

[Mikelarry]

cant even see the icon on my 360 yes yes i have checked the video market place and still nothing.

i havent installed it at all, as there isnt no option/icon. ill just wait till 2moro hopefully it would have all been sorted by then. thanks for your reply tho.

[n9com]

if u have already installedsky player, go to the x center button thing on your controller and then go to quick launch and select sky player

[OSIRUSSS]

If MS can't handle this, the Natal launch is gonna be really fun to watch. I can't wait.
