Hi everyone, the sky sports breaking news banner is judgering again and it's really annoying when watching TV. Just wanted to make everyone aware so we could get this sorted. Thanks, Pete

Not near my Sky Q at the moment to check but if it's an issue affected lots of customers I suggest you email the Viewer Relations Team at viewerR@sky.uk

I get this occasionally when first tuning to the channel, but it only lasts a couple of seconds. It's been fine all day today though.

I checked on my Sky Q box at about 1545 and it was fine.

I've just checked my Sky Stream and not seeing this issue.

@pete1986andrew

Previous posts you've made suggest you have Glass. Is that still the case?

By the way, your duplicate thread you started this evening has been removed as you have this one, you've emailed the VRT and you've apparently rung as well.

@pete1986andrew

Your thread has been moved to the Glass board as you've confirmed that's what you have.

Same on my glass. The Scottish football on 403 is also like a very dodgy stream. Blurry and flickering. Reset TV and internet. Still the same.
