Sky Glass Power up Issues 19-9-24

[TelTell]

If you turn on the puck while holding down the reset button and then the s/w downloads do you need to turn the puck back on again?

However, I do think that this is the core of the issue because my new Sky ID and account has never worked properly and I am always having problems accessing bills and even sky store.  Everyone else I know with Sky Glass in Ireland has the same issues.

Ah that's a new bit of information

Thanks - I only have the one account now (Sky Glass).  Like most Irish Sky Glass customers, I was a customer in the past but had to cancel my account when I moved house years ago because the satellite installation company (Actavo) are useless and won't install on older houses.  So, when Sky Glass came out, it was my chance to get Sky without a satellite, I and I was probably once of the first to do so.

Ah ok ..... I wonder if this is a sky Ireland problem ? Maybe I was right about the ip addresses ...... will escalate through the superuser channels

If you believe that you have tried everything to the letter, including different browsers, mobile Internet, App activation then you need to queue on the phone unfortunately. 

After 2 hours today I was referred to more senior techs as the initial department couldn't fathom it for me either.

Sadly I have a man whom I am about to divorce over his TV and the named person dealing with my case at sky is not back in until Wednesday 😮.

Until then I just have to keep trying the fix in the case that I magically download a new patch.

As there are thousands who are trying to do the same it's possible that the whole system is just overwhelmed.

Come to think about it I think I've read a few times over the takers in these forums that legacy cancelled accounts can create problems with sky IDs . I think you are going to have to brave a call to sky to get your account fixed .... I'm pretty sure that department only operates on weekdays though

 No - when you get to the PIN number screen pull the plug then switch it back on

Reading a few comments now from users who have had no issues with the reset, so just want to clarify: The reset DOES NOT WORK FOR THE MAJORITY (as claimed)... it works for a small minority (as this thread would  confirm)... We appreciate your attempts to help, but repeating the advice issued from Sky (which doesn't work) doesn't help most of us - it just causes frustration all round! ... Any small nuances are gratefully appreciated, however - never say never, so if you did something differently from the standard advice and it worked, please share that info... simply sharing the publicised sky links is however, pointless, and bound to create further frustration tbh!. Clearly Sky haven't managed to sort the issue yet (4 days in?!), so I really don't think we should all fall out/lose sleep over their failures!

This is all I'm getting every single time I do the 'press the standby button and then flick the switch, hold until red light flashes' 

have tried resetting router, still nothing. Been 48 hours now. Someone please help me, have sat on hold for 2 hours 35 minutes and didn't get through, I have two children, one of which is autistic and this is driving me mental. The only tv I have aswell. (Sky glass) not puck!

Nothing different from the instructions.

This thread on this forum does not represent the majority of users nationwide so can't be used to assess 'a majority'.

I was able to perform the reset but took several attempts I kept my finger on the button on the TV for at least 2 mins then it started the remote control took several attempts to connect then when it came to activation code I used my smart phone not the QR code and it worked fine and have had no issues sbut all through this Sky have been useless including not responding to my complaint and not answering the phone I am really annoyed in the way Sky have left everyone high and dry
