Yes the UKTV/U& channels seem to be having problems. Dave is a blank sceen with the logo in the corner and other including W, Yesterday and Drama are entirely blank.

Alibi is a frozen image and only Gold seems to be working.

It's not a Sky-specific issue - it's the same on Freely. All of U's live streamed channels are blank.

The U app is still functional so you can watch on demand instead.

Oddly Dave, Drama and Yesterday are working on Freeview but not on satellite. Dave has just switched to a "Sorry" caption on satellite but is broadcasting normally on Freeview.

Same here just turned my sky Q BOX and greeted with bank screen on the mini screen on the home page, thought I going to have to a reboot, however when I went to screen found it had been left on U when was switched off last night changed to BBC1 picture and sound as normal so I assumed it was just that channel as from the post on here appear to be the case.
