Do you mean Sky via Sky Go or via your TV?

 

Are you getting any error messages?

What Sky product is this? I assume Stream or Glass?

 

If so, head to the Netflix app on your TV and in "get help" on the sidebar do a network check. Can you report back what speed it shows please?

It seems to be working now, we only moved in yesterday and set it up. Turned it on this morning and everything seems okay. Thanks

@Benn22 could you do the following please?

 

  1. Open the Netflix app on the affected Sky device.
  2. Go to Get Help in the sidebar.
  3. Select Check Your Network.
  4. Note the download speed displayed and share it with us

Thanks @Benn22.

 

That should be good enough speed for sure. Although I wonder if that fluctuates, being mobile broadband. It might be worth running that test every few minutes for a bit, and keep an eye on it to see if it ever drops down much.

 

Other than that, have you tried restarting your Glass?

 

1. Go to Settings
2. System management
3. Resets & updates
4. Restart device

Re: Mobile broadband

I think your right.. I'm guessing it all depends on signal strength. I'll keep checking it over next few days. Thankyou

Personally I wouldn't generally recommend using mobile broadband for the sky streaming platform. You are more likely to have a fluctuating WiFi connection and dropped packets which will cause issues.
