SKY Glass - Freezing and Closing programs I am watching

I have had Sky Glass installed and the TV continually freezes to the point I have to turn it off at the wall and also comes out of programmes while I am watching them. 

 

Tried to contact SKY and its hard work - Any advice.

Hi @Claire3815 

 

Have you tried turning it off at the socket, wait a min and then back on again?

Are you connected via WiFi or ethernet?

 

What speed do you get if you do a Netflix speed test via the app?

Open Netflix on Stream

From the Netflix homescreen, go left to open the menu.
From the bottom of the menu, go right and select Get Help.
Select Check your Network.


Thanks,
Tim

I have to turn it off at the socket every time it freezes it is the only way to get it back on. 

 

I have tested speed and everything is great from that respect and we never had this issue until we got SKY Glass.

 

Thanks

Hi @Claire3815 

 

Thanks for replying, what was the speedtest result from the Netflix app?

 

Also what software version have you got?

 

  1. Press Home on your Sky remote.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the Home screen and select Settings.
  3. Select System management, then System info.

Thanks,

Tim

Film or TV programmes just switch off while watching

While watching films or TV channels sky glass just resets back to main screen. It doesn't even remember the watch postion. Need to fast forward manually to last watched position.

Re: Sky Glass keeps returning to home screen.

Re: Apps keep forceclosing.

Getting the same issue, after around 30-40 mins Amazon or ITV x closes and goes back to Home Screen on sky glass

Re: Apps keep forceclosing.

Has sky contacted anyone about this? Is it worth ringing them up? I'm getting so annoyed with it now

Re: Apps keep forceclosing.

@Darby12  Whoever at Sky told you that, I think is wrong, as it's happened to me whilst playing my xbox on the skyglass, simply using it via hdmi like any other tv can do (i.e no broadband needed) so it's not an internet issue, at least not in my case.
