Sky Glass Power up Issues 19-9-24

[Ric74]

@Coops thanks for the alternative method via the app, but I only got as far as device management and THEN got the "Oops there has been a problem" message.

So far I have not seen any evidence that there is a working activation page.  And yes, before you ask, OF COURSE I AM LOGGED IN!!!

Forget about "Post 2", it might work for some but not here.

@TD79 

There have been some issues where in the past some customers have had issues with their Sky account, as they have had two accounts and swapped them or similar at some point.

Do you know if you have had anything like this in the past?

If so, you may have to call Sky to get them to resolve the Sky id  and the account activation.

But, if that is not the case and you really do not want to be sat on a long queue to Sky, have you tried doing the activating using a mobile phone on 4g, so it's not connected to your home broadband, that has worked for some.

Also, try the alternative link or browser refresh if you have not tried;

Try refreshing your browser cache or try the activate link in another browser or device.

Before clicking on the activate link, log in to your MySky account first.

Also, try this alternative link;

Make sure you have logged into your Mysky account in your browser before trying.

Also, you could try using a mobile phone, not connected to your home broadband

Thanks to all the superusers for their help and support! After 3 days of no TV and not being able to get any help from sky, I followed the process literally dozens of times and finally, having used my mobile hotspot, the damned thing has updated and is working. 

Great effort from all of you!

It's 1+3 to pair, not 3+6

When you call sky customer service you just sit in a queue for hours, really bad customer service I've tried it for two days now and no luck

Have you tried the resolution provide on here;

This is the resolution that has worked for many Sky Stream and Sky Glass Tv customers over the last three days with the issue.

Follow the procedure exactly as described in post 2 of this thread, flagged as the Answer post from Sky. 
Try holding down the button for as long as possible, it won't harm keeping it pressed longer than mentioned, but release when you see the blue screen instructions on screen.

If you have any issue with activation during the process or entering the pin do the following;

Activation problems: 

Try refreshing your browser cache or try the activate link in another browser or device.

Before clicking on the activate link, log in to your MySky account first.

Also, try this alternative link;

Make sure you have logged into your Mysky account in your browser before trying.

Also, you could try using a mobile phone, not connected to your home broadband.

Pin problems:

When at the pin stage and it fails.

Remove the power from your Puck or Sky Glass TV,  leave off for a few minutes and repower.

It will continue, follow the instructions.

This has worked for many having a pin issue

@lettice 

Thanks 

I have tried mobile Internet. 

Different browsers. 

Different links.

Sky app.

Only ever had 1 account since moving here 10+ years ago.

Currently 1 hour into my 3rd consecutive day on phone queue before I have had to give up.

Just to confirm the fix works on my Sky Stream and have just managed to watch the F1 on sky.  However a few comments.

a) I can't have a satelite disk so was one of the first cutomer for Sky Stream.  Though it is OK it is generally not as good as the normal recording of programmes, often the programmes are delayed getting online, sometimes they miss start or end, sometimes can be difficult to find even when in playlist.  It is better than nothing but I would not call it an excelent service.

b) coming from an IT background I cant't understand how Sky can let such a widespread and signficant problem get out in the  wild.  Surly the should have found this out from in house testing and even if not then just relase it to a few 'beta test' users before letting go to the wider user base. Their IT managers and test process staff need sacking or a very major re-education. 

I hope we all get some compensation and it should be more than a day of extra service.

I spoke to someone on the phone almost instantly when I used keyword cancel.

They did have to transfer me to someone in the resolutions department, and it took around 45 minutes, but it was worth doing.

So I've got two sky pucks in my house, One upstairs and one in the lounge. The one in the lounge is fine. I have no issues with and it works but the one in the bedroom upstairs seems to load up say sky on the screen and then just keeps turning itself back off and on again and keeps trying to reboot. I followed all the steps that sky have advised through the fix my problem, and this doesn't seem to work. I have spent three hours on hold trying to get through to somebody to help me and I can't seem to get through does anybody have any idea of what the issue may be or how I can fix this

There been no official word on the cause of the issue. It would seem unlikely it's a software update as they happen overnight while this issue began around 5pm on Friday.
