Sky streaming - poor quality

MG35 — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 19:03:28 GMT

Is the picture quality on sky streaming always so bad??

Every evening I'm going through the processes trying to make it watchable. The picture is unclear, stops and starts and is generally awful!

I'm asking if this is normal?

Hi @MG35

What broadband speed do you have and what speed is your glass getting? You can check this in Netflix. (Profile pic > get help? > Connectivity check).

It sounds like poor connection. I've got 2 Glass TVs and 4 pucks working flawlessly.

Hi, I have Gigafast broadband, Download speed current 124 mpps; I don't have Sky Glass but a Samsung 4k TV; I've now submitted a complaint to Sky as connection is awful and the service is not fit for use.

If you are unable to get a satisfactory service from the Stream service, I suggest you explore your exit strategy. If you are within the contract cooling off period of 31 days, I would use that.

For the time I had Stream, I had no issues with picture quality, it was very good. Having said this I left Stream for Now TV because of price and while the Now UI is not as good as Stream, I can live with an inferior UI because of the price I currently pay viz. £31 pm.
