Black screen technical fault

[emsysastre]

SOS!!!

We have had Glass a couple of months & the most annoying issue almost every evening in the middle of a program where the screen goes black. I then get a message saying please wait for your programme to load. Then it says- theres a technical fault with this channel. Please try again later. The only way to resolve is to press the button on the TV to reset. Having had Sky for decades , Glass is the worst decision I ever made 😬

@emsysastre Well according to Sky, this issue is now fixed:

See final post in the locked thread.

It appears not, unless your issue is with watching Chicago PD? That is a separate issue that many are having at the moment.

Thanks for your response but it's definitely happening here every single day & not with Chicago PD 🤣😬

@emsysastre I feel your pain. I first reported it to Sky in early April. It may be that the update with the fix will take a few days to roll out to everyone. 

I did start a thread asking why the existing thread had been locked without providing some crucial information to customers here:

Thank you! I just checked &  my version is not the same as the one mentioned in the other thread. I have QS036.017.00P - do you think this is why? Can we update ourselves? 

[Gavin+Noble]

@emsysastre We have to wait for it as updates are rolled out in batches.

@emsysastre I'm on the same QS036.017.00P as you, and for me this fault was fixed just over a week ago.

The TV went into recovery mode on switch on one day, and it's been fine ever since.

I didn't start the recovery mode, so I'm assuming it was initiated by Sky.

Hi - it's worth running  network check which you can find in the Netflix app in the settings menu - this will give you an indication of the speed you are getting on your device
