Fixes For Sky go error code 14

Fix 1: Check server status

Although, the error code 14 on Sky go may not be primarily related to a server issue on the server side. Still, it would be a good idea to just in case check whether the server at Sky Go’s end is working fine, to avoid any unnecessary troubleshooting which might not be even needed if the issue or problem is at the server’s end and not at client’s end.

By heading to the following link, you can check for Sky go’s server status.

If the server status is all good and working fine. Then, you can be sure that the problem lies on your end and can continue further with trying the rest of the solutions as mentioned below.

However, if the server status is showing that the server is down and there are some problems which need to be fixed at the server’s end itself. Then, there is actually nothing much you can do. But, rather just sit it out for the Sky developer team to fix the issue on the server side itself.

Fix 2: Check your internet connectivity

One of the most common reasons for the following error 14 to occur on your systems would be a bad or unstable internet connection.

If the internet connection you are using to stream video content over Sky Go is not a stable one or is weak and comes with very low speeds. Then, such an error may occur quite more frequently than you would expect.

In such cases, it is hence advised that you talk to your ISP providers and discuss the problem of an unstable or slow internet connection with them or simply change to a subscription plan or service which provides better speed and stability, than the one you are currently subscribed to.

But then again, you only go for a different subscription only after you have tried the rest of the solutions as have been listed below.

Fix 3: Update the app

If you are using the Sky Go app to stream content online. Then, such an error might occur as a result of not updating your app for a long time now.

An outdated app should be the first thing to doubt when the following error shows up. It is thus advised that you update the Sky Go app at the earliest on your devices and see if doing so helps fix the error.

Fix 4: Update your browser

Just like how an outdated Sky Go app might result in the following error to occur. Similarly, even with an outdated browser that might be the case.

If you are using Steam to watch content on an outdated browser. Then, such an error showing up should be no surprise for you.

In such cases, it is hence best that you update your browser and see if doing so helps get the issue fixed.

Since listing out the steps to update your browser for all the different browsers is not a very viable thing to do here. I have listed out links to guides on how to do so for some of the most popular browsers out there, for you to be able to update them accordingly:
