Streaming puck

I have received the puck approximately 10 days ago. The remote seemed very poor and I have replaced it. Both puck and remote are working but the TV has the following message on it :- Sorry, because of a technical issue, you're currently experiencing a limited service. Please be assured that we're working hard to fix the problem. The message has been on the tv screen for the last 7 days and I am unable to access any programmes. I have a Samsung tv which I am able to use. I am seriously thinking of giving up and cancelling, if I could only get to speak to a human. Thanks

@Sue1442

For Sky Stream to function at all you need to make sure you have a sufficiently fast and stable broadband connection, either via WiFi or ethernet to the puck.

Presumably when you set the puck up you connected it to your broadband? What speed is the puck receiving? To find out, open the Netflix app, navigate to the get help menu and run a network check.

Ideally Sky Stream needs an absolute minimum of 25Mbps to stream in HD and 30Mbps for UHD, but realistically you need a lot more to maintain any form of stability, particularly if you have other devices in your household using up some of your bandwidth.
