Thanks - I disabled the private relay feature on my iPhone but unfortunately there is no change. Also tried logging on using a dell device but the same issue arises.
Ah ok not that then. Thanks for ruling that out.
Can't imagine the router itself would have any settings blocking the activation page.
have you tried the phone using your mobile data and not the wifi?

It works for most people so would you prefer we post nothing and leave other customers without any kind of solution?
No one is pretending things for Sky we are simply trying to help other customers.

Exactly. When I did the puck recover procedure it worked first time at all stages. It has for many others too.
We're just trying to work out what's going on with those who have a different experience

the issue is unresolved. Not only does the system not recognise the reset pin, which is the same as the old pin, it won't advance the counter on any attempt. Looks like the DB holding pin info is corrupt or offline or there's some other comms issue. So I'm looking at a blue screen (shades of the old days) as shown. Well it would be shown but for the fact that I'm unable to post a photo. Looking like the software is so buggie that nothing works these days.
I tried ringing Sky and waited nearly an hour when 9pm arrived and was wasting time to stay on line. Cannot say I'm impressed.

It works for the majority ........ we are trying to figure out the rest as we go along
There's countless more people who have tried it and have got a working tv back

See the answer in this thread: https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Glass-Live/Sky-Glass-Power-up-Issues-19-9-24/td-p/4755170
There is a note that if you get the pin issue, you need to restart your device i.e turn off and on again, not reset.

Exactly the same as my poor housebound mother still no joy been off since Thursday evening.Thought I had solved it got TV back on but no where to put code 🙃

Still getting the message 'connection failed' despite carrying out the Sky recommendations. Waited 50 minutes on phone - no response. John

Also have you tried pulling the plug on your router for a good 10 minutes then trying again

@Paul+Dray that was my experience as well. It took no more than 5-6 minuted to be up and running and that was despite making an error along the way. I thought I was logged into account but got the error message so signed in and away we went again.
The majority of people who have their systems working again are busy watching TV and not trying to help other subscribers find a way through their issues.

Hmm ok. A proper test would be to delete the sky cookies in the phone browser and then reboot the phone and then try it again connected to the mobile network. Not sure if you tried that.

I tried a few things and it's fixed after 3 days! I didn't follow the sky help but reset the WPS on the router and it seems to have reset it but now working. Thanks
