Less than a week ago, the long-awaited launch of SkyShowtime in Spain took place. As we already told you in our weekly overview of streaming platforms, this new service comes to further enrich the already quite wide offer with some interesting content proposals and groundbreaking offer, 2.99 euros per month for life if you hire him during his first two months in our country. After the event, its regular price will be 5.99 euros per month, so we are talking about a 50% discount.

Starting a new service, regardless of type, always There are usually some problems associated with it. which were not detected in the testing phase. It is true that some problems are more surprising than others, since shortly after the rigorous tests should have been quickly identified, cases that correspond to a slap on the wrist, but which must be adjusted according to the speed of the reaction to it.

SkyShowtime was no exception in this regard., we have already seen some issues, some of which are not new at all, as we have already seen them on other platforms. So on the downside, it’s a bit surprising to see that the platform hasn’t learned from the launch of other services. On a positive note, they have already responded to them, either by resolving them, or at least acknowledging acceptance and stating that they preferred the solution.

The first of the problems faced by SkyShowtime users became apparent within the first hours of the service, although it did not seem so at first, namely the high volume of users who wanted to register saturated company servers, which prevents all users from performing this process. In addition, in some cases the service did not apply the 50% discount on the subscription price despite using the website, which several users condemned on social media in recent days.

On the other hand, and in this case I am talking about something I have personally experienced, there are some audio/video sync issues, which creates an annoying delay. My welcome to the platform is, as it should be, a new marathon of The Office, but the experience doesn’t turn out to be as satisfying as I’d hoped because of this very problem. This one, yes, doesn’t seem to be that widespread, but I found some reports from other users about it.

However, the most important and more generally occurring one is the one that affects synchronization between content and subtitlesmore specifically”some subtitles may be missing, appear in the wrong place on the screen, or be out of sync with the content you are watching“As we can read on the SkyShowtime Help Center website. The good news at this point is that the company says it has prioritized this issue as it affects platform availability, so we can expect a fix soon.
