Amazon Prime and Netflix not working on Sky Stream.

Hi fellow Sky Stream users,

I'm starting this thread to raise awareness about Sky Stream's poor connectivity issues with Prime and Netflix. I know I'm not the only one experiencing this, since I started with the service, over a year ago.

Reguarly when I select to watch a program or movie on either of those platforms via the Sky menu, I end up with a blank screen followed by a random error message, sometimes about my HDMI cable. There's nothing wrong with the cable and usually after 3-4 tries, it finally plays the program.

Also I have an Apple TV box connected to the same TV and I can instantly switch to it when I get this issue on Sky, and navigate to the same program on either Prime or Netflix and it plays immediately. To be honest I would dump Sky if it wasn't for some programs.

Ps I have the Sky puck connected via Ethernet to my router and am using a 1GB FTTP internet connection, so no issues with internet connection or speed.

FYI - If you prefer the more reliable Apple TV box then all Sky content is available on it via the NOW TV app with the relevant subscription. I switched to this a while ago and haven't missed Sky Stream at all.

Cheers, I did have a look at this a while back. It may be time for a revisit.
