I recently done an update on the sky news app and now it's running 30 minutes behind the live news including the time in the bottom of the screen which is quite annoying, how do I fix this? I have used this app for a while and it's always been in sync with the current time till the update

sky news delaying on my firestick
This morning I put the tv on and went on sky news on my bush tv and try as well on the Roku tv. But it was asking me to accept how they use their data. I accepted it. Then I open the app, but the sky news keeps on being delaying for half an hour. No live sky news. I uninstall the app, by not accepting the data sharing same issue of delaying. I uninstall the app again re loaded this time declined all data sharing, still the news delaying. I have cleared the cache and clear data as I used firestick to watch the sky news, still same issue. All the east of my apps on my firestick working perfectly it's only sky news app. I have restarted the tv unplug my firestick, re started both tv and the fire stick. Amazon have told me is not the firestick as the rest of my apps are working fine
Is anyone have any idea what else can I do. Any help will be appreciated.

Re: 30 minute lag
Yes, I have the same issue, 30 minutes behind live time, tried uninstalling/deleting app, removing power lead for 10 minutes, removing batteries from remote. Still got the same problem on both my firesticks 🤷♂️
