hi @daveglos Which device are to you experiencing the problem with and are you seeing any error codes or messages ? Does the app run normally on your other registered device ?

Please remove a device if you want to watch on this one(App928) then gives a message to manage devices. There are two devices listed Iphone which still works and an Apple TV that was ok up until last week, the other two spare slots are saying wait 14 days to register a new device so my new ipad won’t register

thanks

Hi @daveglos Couple of further questions .

Do you recall an Apple TV update occurring in the last week ?

Have you ever had four registered devices or have you only ever been using two ?

It’s possible i’ve had 4 devices registered at some point in time, i’ve never gone in to delete anything and loading the app on a new device has always worked.

I’m not aware of an apple TV update

Best regards

Hi @daveglos I'm sorry to see you're experiencing problems with the BT TV app.

I found this info on the AP928 error.

This means that there's either an issue with your registered device(s), or you've reached your registered device limit.

You can register up to 10 devices, however you can only use the BT TV App on two devices at the same time. You can change each registered device once every 30 days
If you haven’t exceeded your device limit and are having issues, please log into our BT TV Help Tool >

Can you let me know if the BT TV help tool fixes this for you?

Thanks

Neil

Hi @daveglos to me it looks like a bit of a mess and I suspect that someone in BT will need to do something offline.

@NeilO I am not aware of BT increasing the registered device limit to 10 , it has been 4 with BT TV Extra or 2 without. Indeed

https://www.bt.com/help/tv/learn-about-tv/tv-app/ios/account-and-device-management/managing-your-device-on-the-bt-tv-app

still says

A device will automatically be registered when you've logged in and watched a programme on it.You can register up to four* devices, and watch programmes on two devices at the same time. When you’ve reached your device limit, you can register a new device once every thirty days.

Something has clearly occurred in the last week to prevent @daveglos from using one device but even then it should be possible for him to register a further device so there is probably a separate possibly longer term issue issue that has been preventing him doing so.

Also if the registered device limit is still 4 and not 10 then the AP928 text in

https://www.bt.com/help/fix-your-bt-error-code-problem

needs to be corrected.

@daveglos thanks for trying that, I'll send you a private message in a moment so you can send your details over to the moderation team.

@zulu17 that's the message I got when I checked on the AP928 code. I didn't even notice the device limit on that but as far as I am aware it's still 4 so the wording on that message will need to be updated and I'll report that back, thanks for highlighting it.

Thanks
Neil

Definitely still a device limit of 2 normally, or 4 with BT TV App Extra.
Did you uninstall and then reinstall the app @daveglos ? This can cause your device to be seen as a new one.
Email me at tv.apps@bt.com with the BT ID you're logged into the app with, and I can check your account and reset if necessary.
