Sky puck

Hello
I received a Sky Puck a few days ago and would like to know if it's the most recent one. It's also worth noting that it ends in zzz.

As we have already mentioned on here on previous threads about the V2 type puck.

It is not a Gen2 puck, like the Sky Glass TV is an upgrade in specs to the Gen1 TV.

There is no expected performance difference to the original puck.

Its just a similar chipset from another supplier. Something many hardware manufacturers do to help steady supply chains.

Only way to notice a difference is the V2 one has a smaller power supply footprint.

You cannot request one as a replacement for your current puck and as far as we are aware there is no plan for any replacement of a current puck with this one.

Going forwards the expectation is new customers or any replacements to customers will be sent one or the other.

The 'zzz' means nothing. If it has a small power adapter and a model number IPO61B-02-SKY-ant then it's a newer puck.

The number of the puck I have is not this one so I think it is the old one

Re: Sky puck

Where can I see this number?

On the underside of the puck and printed on a sticker on the box it came in.

After all, it's the new me that I had seen in the instructions that came with the puck another number

My sky puck doesn't have as many numbers and letters as this IPO61B-02-SKY-ant but I think it's the new one

Doesn't really matter which one it is, it's whether it functions or not - that's the important thing.

My sky puck starts with letters and numbers then two letters and ends with ant

Is it IP061-ef-ant ?

Re: Sky puck

pedro-n-f-c — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:15:50 GMT

Yes and that means it's the new

Incorrect. That means it's the old one.

Just out of curiosity, what would be the new one?

I told you on the earlier post. IPO61B-02-SKY-ant or a variant of that.

At the store where I bought it they tell me it's the new one

Staff at those stores (Sky, Currys or EE) are mostly clueless. Never trust a salesperson from any company. They wanted the sale. They'll tell you anything you want to hear, be it the truth or otherwise, in order to make that sale.

But I say again, it doesn't matter if it's the new or old puck. It's whether it works or not is the crucial thing.

Staff at a store almost certainly wouldn't know which puck is being dispatched from a warehouse to fulfil an order.

Anyway, it in no way matters which model of a puck you have, there is no discernible difference

Exactly it works that's the most important thing
