For streamed you have to start again. So can I extend the pause time and how is this done?</P> Tue, 16 Dec 2025 10:23:54 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Stream/Pause-timing-out/m-p/5168458#M65313 Chris704 2025-12-16T10:23:54Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Stream/Pause-timing-out/m-p/5170018#M65531 <P>Sadly, it's not something you can change.</P> Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:18:04 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Stream/Pause-timing-out/m-p/5170018#M65531 jtonline 2025-12-18T00:18:04Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Stream/Pause-timing-out/m-p/5170025#M65533 <P>Hi&nbsp;<a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4565213">@Chris704</a>&nbsp; I fully agree this was very frustrating but the good news is Sky are currently rolling out an new UI which changes the pause time from 10 to 25 minutes and if you exceed that time the puck does not go into standby but just releases the pause and the programme continues to play. &nbsp;If this happens you can then just rewind to the place you originally paused the programme.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I received the updated UI recently and the pause function is a vast improvement. &nbsp;Like all Sky updates they roll them out in batches so you will&nbsp;just have to wait your turn as you cannot force an update.</P> Thu, 18 Dec 2025 01:54:41 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Stream/Pause-timing-out/m-p/5170025#M65533 Fothergill1 2025-12-18T01:54:41Z
