FNP v Lions - signal keeps dropping out

Is this an intermittent fault or likely to continue throughout the match? Really frustrating!!!

Have the same issue... At least it's not just me!

Sky sports Lions game picture and sound is not working

Dddddddddd — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 11:04:41 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to watch the British and Irish Lions rugby match on sky sports and the picture has gone black then the sound goes off then the sound comes back on then the picture stays off. It's off and on off and on all the time.
my skybox on TV is working fine on all other channels apart from sky sports Lions.
Can you confirm this is if this is a general issue affecting multiple people please.

As this is happening across different platforms both satelite & stream it woukld seem to be a transmission issue and has been raised to Sky.

In the meantime you could try watching via Sky Sports Main Event.

Hi all!

Thank you for letting us know you had noticed some picture and sound issues on Sky Sports Action earlier. I checked with our teams who confirmed we did identify an issue with the output which was resolved as soon as possible.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused!

Just tried to watch it as was out this morning - got as far as 1/2 time but with no sound for the last 10 or som minutes of the first half - now showing technical fault so I can't get past the 1st set of 1/2 time ads.

come on Sky this isn't good enough for what we pay!

Appear to be all sorted... thanks to everyone for their input and support

The lack of picture and sound persisted for quite some time. I and others missed large parts of the game. I'm surprised there wasn't a message on the screen or some audio message straightaway to say something along the lines of - sorry you may be experiencing picture and sound loss. Whenever that sort of thing happens with the likes of BBC, ITV, Channel 4 etc, this happens straight away, they own it and communicate the issue and not leave you in the dark wondering!

having an issue is one thing hiding it is quite another!

How can it be all sorted? it's too late! The game has finished.

So does this mean we are being compensated for the inconvenience? We pay alot of money each month to watch sky sports.????

But an extremely small amount for any individual item in the schedule unless it's a PPV event (which typically do get refunded if technical problems arise)

You could try asking Sky for a goodwill gesture but I doubt anything would be coming by default.

Satellite signal is down on the Live Live channel... sort it out Sky. Not good!

I expect today's problems were because the weather in Sydney was awful with torrential rain, the game also had to be stopped for a while due to a thunderstorm which may have disrupted satellite links.

There were no dropouts that I noticed on the Lions/Action channel today, watching via Virgin Media.

Yeh today was much better, despite the lightning! 😝

I didn't experience any drop out this week at Sydney, my original post was last week at the MCG
