Sky Sports on T-Mobile UK £5 a month - I can't make it work.....HELP!

I just want to be able to watch Sky Sports on my HTC Tytn, but for the life of me I can't find either a version of 't-zones; or 'web'n'walk' that has any links to it for me to follow:


There are two ways to access Mobile TV on your phone
Accessing Mobile TV through web'n'walk:

Open up the web'n'walk homepage from the main menu and select the Mobile TV tab at the top of the page
You will then be taken through to a page with three Mobile TV options including T-Mobile TV and Sky Mobile TV. Click on the option you want
Accessing Mobile TV through t-zones:

Open up the t-zones homepage from the main menu and click the Mobile TV icon in the centre of the page
You will then be taken through to a page with three Mobile TV options including T-Mobile TV and Sky Mobile TV. Click on the option you want

All I can think is that the wap sites recognise my device as not being a mobile, so direct me to the full version, so I can't find the right links??

Anyone know what's going on and how I can get both my sanity back and Skysports???

UPDATE - I've tried the web'n'walk demo on the t-mobile website, with a Nokia N95 you get this:

http://surf.yospace.com/tmobile/wnw/nokian95/

But with the MDA Compact, you don't get the TV or Games tab at the top of the screen.

Is there a way of tricking t-mobile into thinking I'm a phone? I can't imagine that it's because my Vario II can't use the content!

I had this problem after flashing a new rom.

Anyway, the answer to your problem is:

http://10.111.189.31

Type that into you web browser. Sky sports is really good

work for me just t-mobile-favourites.co.uk
im using t-mobile beta rom

[paulrockliffe]

t-mobile-favourites.co.uk doesn't work, probably something in the t-mobile ROM that lets it work. I'm using Black Satin. If you're at all registry-savy, perhaps you could have a look through the registry for any T-Mobile keys?

No probs if you can't as that IP address does work.

Thanks guys.

[paulrockliffe]

Actually, back-track, that ip address works for the t-mobile live tv, the 3.50 subscription, but not the Sky Sports subscription that's 5.00 a month.

Does anyone have the ip address for that?

cheers.

thats mine

[paulrockliffe]

I get a 404 Not Found error from that one - the url doesn't look complete?

[paulrockliffe]

cheers for the edit, but the link still just goes to the t-mobile 3.50 subscription page, not the page that lets you pay 5.00 to watch the Sky Sports channels.

Help!!!

[jdac21]

well if i do the £5 1 ill hav to just for going to the page

http://t-mobile-favourites.co.uk/en/mobiletv.jsp

you can choose on thet page

[paulrockliffe]

That link just comes up with a page not found error for me.

My head hurts! Why can't these things just work??

[paulrockliffe]

I've just tried http://t-mobile.sky.com and thats told me that my handset isn't compatible with Sky Mobile TV! More lies!

sorry try

I only actually got the TV application to work by using either a WM5 Rom, or the T-Mobile Test Rom, by going to the tmobile home page, the option for TV is not in the menu....

[paulrockliffe]

Ha ha ha, that gives me the same "Your handset isn't compatible" error page.

Am beginning to think that they don't want my money!!

What ROM are you running and is there any specific references to T-Mobile in your registry? I think I'm missing something that will stop the website identifying my phone the way it is at the moment!

[paulrockliffe]

Is there any chance one of you that has it working could export the registry to a file and email it to me so I can have a look at it?

[tbern123]

I am using the t-mobile test rom. Before I was using one f the black roms. When it wasn't working for me, I just emailed t-mobile and asked them for the link and they emailed it back to me

[paulrockliffe]

What link was that, do you remember it off the top of your head and did you get it to work with the Black ROM?

[tbern123]

Sorry it was the link I previously posted. This allowed me to access the tv..

However, after flashing the test rom, the t.v was already set up via web n walk and I was able to then choose Sky.


I think the easiest thing to do, if you really want sky sports is to flash the test rom.

[paulrockliffe]

I'm sure you can understand why I don't really want to do that for the sake of a few registry settings, so I think I'll try and find a fix first - I've missed all the weekends football now anyway!

My extended rom contains all the stuff from my WM5 T-Mobile ROM still, so the registry settings I'm after may well be in there.

I have a cab that looks likely, PP_pIESetting_TMUK_050906.cab should I just give this a whirl?

Do you have a similar file in the ext ROM on your device?

[paulrockliffe]

Nope, that didn't fix it!

I rana couple of the other T-Mobile customization tabs and now the http://t-mobile.sky.com/default.asp link just says:

"Bad Request" in pIE, though the page still says my phone isn't compatible if I use Opera to visit the link, so one of the registry changes isn't right somehow.

If someone has the registry or pIE customization cab from the WM6 test Rom, that would be really useful.........

[jdac21]

donno cant help just get a t-mobile rom or ask the rom ookes for your device

Hi,
Is there any update on this?
Tried everything here but still nothing.
Contacted T-Mobile (didn't tell them about my ROM upgrade) and they're clueless...
