FXNow and other TV apps

[Superhero 8903]

I've been watching shows on my iPad and AppleTV - mainly HBOGo, FXNow and occasionally TBS and TNT for movies. Full disclosure, I'm using my sister's COX cable login.

Anyways, things were working fine earlier this week, but I got an error message on the TNT/TBS apps saying I'm signed in, but get this message. "You are not authorized to view this content. Please contact your pay TV provider for further assistance." With the FXNow app, I sign in and get stuck on a white screen.

Anyone know what's happening, and how to fix it?

Your sister didn’t pay her cable bill

I think a lot of them are checking to see that your IP address is associated with the cable company (Cox) that your login is with.  If they don't match, no dice.

Maybe you are trying to watch at the same time that your sister is watching.

I use he DirecTv app and get a similar message or it wants me to buy the show or movie. I just force close the app then reopen and it works fine. If that doesn't work, tell your sister to pay her bill.
