SkyGo on Big Sur. What a crock of S**T.

Hi all.

My turn (again) for some advice. The Sky Go application here int the UK is nicely designed, but AWFUL as per the hundreds of moans on their website. Have finally got it to work after a few days of tinkering, but it's got a grey screen, with no video. One of the tips that others have mentioned on the Sky Forums is to ensure screen sharing is disabled (it was on). However going into the Sharing pane, though Screen Sharing is ticked, it won't let me disable it. Have no idea why, not been a problem ever before..... Anyone got any bright ideas ? Driving me totally nuts - many thanks in advance. (perhaps there is a way of achieving this via a script...?) Note I am running Big Sur 11.4, 2019 27" iMac, I do have an extra screen on a USB DIsplayLink adapter (4 screens in total)...... but this has never been an issue before.

"Screen Sharing is ticked, it won't let me disable it"

Check if any other options are ticked there. Disable those first, then try disabling Screen Sharing.

Nope..... Tried all that, and I still can't untick Screen Sharing. Very odd... thanks !

Try using it with only the internal monitor. Might be a HDCP issue with the DisplayLink adapters - that also might be why you can’t disable Screen Sharing.
