I cannot get the sky news app to work on Apple TV. I click on the app and it’s stuck on a tv advert and then it shuts down. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, checked no software update, restarted the apple box, done the double tap on home and closed the apps…still not working. Stuck on an advert.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Sky News app for Apple TV not working anymore? At some point recently, the Sky News for Apple TV app has stopped working. I’m not sure if it was tvOS 18.3 that broke it, but when you launch the app, it just opens to a blank, black screen. *Occasionally*, it will suddenly wake up, and ask me to set it up as if it were a fresh install, asking me to accept various levels of “cookies.” It will work for a while, as long as you do not quit the app and only minimize it. Or, after a prolonged period of being open and minimized, with a blank, black screen, you bring the app back up, and it will come back to life. I have tried both offloading the app, as well as completely deleting and re-installing the app on my Apple TV, but the problem persists. I am using an Apple TV HD model. The app is still available in the Apple TV app store, and says “works on this device”. Currently running tvOS 18.3. Does anyone else out there have the Sky News app installed on their Apple TV? Is it working for you? Are you experiencing any problems?

Sky News Apple TV App breaks after ad Hello, I've been using the Sky News app for years on Apple TV and it's recently been unusable due to advertising content that has started appearing. When you open any menu selection in the app an ad plays. After completion it takes you back to the menu. The geo-targeted ad content is new - it's only started appearing in the last couple of weeks. I've tried force quitting the app, removing and re-adding the app (and deleting the data), and restarting the Apple TV. I have an Apple 4K model, so the age of the hardware should not be an issue. It's on the current TV OS. Anyone have an ide on how to resolve this? Thanks. (FYI, I can't seem to find any way to contact Sky News App Support. The link in the App Store just takes you to the main Sky News website).

Sky News app playing commercials I am able to open the Sky News app on my Apple TV but every time I click on a story an American commercial plays over the audio and then closes without airing the story. What is happening? I tried deleting and reinstalling the app but nothing changed. Any suggestions?

Deleting and reinstalling should let you start over with a clean slate. If you experience issues after all that, then the next step would be to contact the app developer. How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
