Agree.
some feeds work fine. Others keep buffering, jump around and freeze. Hope it's just teething problems. Trying to watch Derby v Boro but unwatchable. Leeds and Pompey games are no problem.

sort it Sky

Are you using wifi to connect to the tv ? Connection with an ethernet cable is more stable, also you need a min of 35mps tv the tv

Hi Moshkosh

i had exactly the same experience. Was trying to watch the Boro game but the constant buffering made it impossible, but the Baggies - Leeds game was fine. I hope Sky sort this - I'll complain and see what they say.

Hi all I have FTTP so no issues with internet speed and F1 and live football do exactly the same as described above. Have some TV's over Ethernet, some over WiFi and one connected to a mesh hub and a Sky Glass - all the same issue. Another issue is Voice Sync, but I do have Sonos is some rooms. There is definitley an issue with live broadcast - feels like Sky are using a cloud server and trying to minimise costs if they are on AWS using EC2 you can select minimum processing power and therefore reduce running costs. Bit cheap really..........

Trying to watch a game now in the red button option and its awful, bad picture then goes black for long periods.

The quality of the sports channels just now is horrific across sky and TNT.

UHD is buggy. HD really inconsistent. Lines on football pitches jaggy, certain patterns or colours flash.

it's not my settings, they've remained the same for years. It's not my WiFi and I've turned it off at the wall several times.
