What issues are you seeing @Gemini2601 ??

Just checked here @Gemini2601

Program is cutting out glitching and pixelating.

Just got an onscreen message where they are apologising for the temporary picture problems.

So it is a broadcast issues which they are working on.

Absolutely abysmal tonight. But it's ok because they're "really sorry".

Absolute garbage Darts coverage

Come on Sky. I pay you a small fortune every month, and you can't even sort out the technical difficulties at the Premier League Darts in Brighton.

The service has been intermittent for over an hour. All other channels seem to be ok but this is ridiculous. Surely the problem should have been sorted by now?

@Jew1

Is this on Sky Q ?

I hope they read these comments, they need to start looking after their current subscribers and not just the new subscribers. Some kind of compensation would be a good gesture

Looks like the Broadcaster is aware of the issue @Jew1 .

Assume they are working on it. If you are on Q it's a live event and not streamed.

Does look like a Sky broadcast issue.

They have put up a banner on screen saying 'We're really sorry for the temporary picture problems'.

So Sky are aware.

Have moved posts to this single issue thread here from Sky Q and Sky Stream and Glass sections.

Premier League darts Interference

Problem with signal or interference tonights Premier Laegue Darts in Brighton. It's like the signal is being jammed. Totally unwatchable. Anyone else having issues. Sky Q

Peeps — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 20:27:35 GMT

does anyone know why sky sports is not working house full of darts fans wanting to watch darts

Since posting back in December I tracked the problem down. Check your Audio Visual settings are set correctly... ideally UHD with Dolby Digital HDMO output. I have an HDMI extender which occasionally drops out and the sky box reverts back to HD settings..... which makes a massive difference to the spatial sound effect

To clarify though, this isn't a Sky Glass issue. The problem is also reported on Sky satellite.

It seems to be a problem between the venue and Sky.

It doesn't make it any less annoying, but because this was posted in the Glass forum I just wanted to assure people that it's not actually a Glass problem.

See the previous posts @Knitt33

There is also onscreen messages so the broadcaster is obviously aware of the issues.
