Spider in my sky glass

I have a spider that seems to have made it's way into my sky glass and then promptly died in the middle of the screen, it is just behind the glass and it is visible when the tv is on. Has anyone else had this issue and what can be done about it?

Hi @Mark1203

If you are under warranty id contact sky and see if they will replace your unit. You would expect it to be sealed enough to prevent this from happening.

The panel is a sealed unit produced in a clean room, I've been in several over the years. If a spider is visible and has only recently appeared the seal is incomplete at production stage or failed. In warranty it needs to be replaced.

@Mark1203 Just being nosey and curious... Any chance of posting a picture? 😉

Never seen anything like that.

Not the first time such a thing has been reported...

@Mark1203 thanks for posting the picture... I never realised such a thing could occur.
