Silicon Valley S5E1

Blank screen after the 'ad break' at +11 minutes to the end of the episode. Audio plays, screen black. Utterly pathetic from the 'premium' product that is Sky Stream. Had to watch the rest of it on the god-awful Sky Go adriddled app.

How, why? They'll never tell us. Fix it? Probably not.

They can only fix it if you report the problem to them so I'd suggest emailing the viewer relations team viewerR@sky.uk

It's really not worth the effort. They take so long to respond, only saying they'll pass it onto the relevant teams. The very teams that seem to have no quality control in them in the first place!

Same problem at same time in same episode. Same crappy SKY app. Nothing I do brings the picture back (restart, update apps, pull power for 5 mins etc) .It's locked on black screen from the same point everytime

Lets face it, SKY Stream is barely fit for Beta. The thing is so buggy it should never have been released and isn't getting any better.

I suppose In a few months it will be exclusive HBO Max app and aren't forced to use the app on Sky Stream for bundled ad supported tier

It really is no surprise that this issue is still unfixed, MONTHS later. Comcast-Sky just don't care about their product - only that the £s keep on rolling in.

This just sums up the state of modern Sky doesn't it. Terrible.
