I don't think there is much else you can try. It definitely appears to be a B4RN -Sky problem and not an issue with your devices. I've been through the full factory reset of my sky glass, I've reset the router, unplugged and disconnected, rebooted and booted the remote across the living room. Nothing fixes it. I'm still on the refresh connection loop.

@PeteNilsatis thanks for posting! Makes me feel a little better it's not just me hitting this and spending too much time troubleshooting! l have tried static DHCP devices, run diagnostics on the router and spent hours in logs to see if I could find some pointers as to where this might be happening. I am also sure this is not my local network too. Devices have been back since about 2:30 ish for me and stayed connected (loading Home Screen) noticed some slowdown in menu and channel loading about 8pm, but all still working for now. I have not had them all working in the mornings for a week now, so fingers crossed they stay connected tomorrow. I will assume Sky found their gremlin and fixed it then.

Oh joy, returned to 3 blue screens again this morning that won't refresh

Mine too. Same refresh connection screen. Hoping that either B4RN or Sky can put their finger on the issue today because it clearly isn't a problem with our devices.

Did you get this sorted Tony ?? Ours has started doing it . Getting sick of having to pull the tv out to reset . Also got sky broadband. Knew I shouldn't have went near them 🤬

@KevNewMedia I raised this with your technical teams a week ago now, still no response (despite being promised one) last week and chasing it twice this week. I also have a complaint open for this. Might be worth checking if you need the full details of this. Appreciate anything you can do to get this looked at ASAP. it won't let me paste the complaint number in the forum, so maybe grab it off my account.
Support from sky 1st lines have done all they can, but they have no way to contact their technical team apart from an email... this is a gaping hole and time sync in your customer services processes for large urgent issues affecting multiple users. If you have a whole group of users down and paying for a service they can't consume, you would expect a little more effort from Sky to resolve, than leave paying customers hanging for a week with no responses on if this is even been picked up and looked at by the technical teams yet. Every time I call now I get the, "the technical team have not responded to the emails, I will send another one" from the rep.
The fact it's taken the community to get it this far on our own is not great. I expect far better from a service like Sky.
FYI for the others all suffering the loop of death. For the first time, my pucks are getting to the Home Screen this morning still. I also rebooted two of them just to see if they reconnected and they did (loaded the Home Screen). I will see how today goes.

Hi @Bigal66
Welcome to the Sky Community.
Are you saying that you are seeing the same issue and have Sky Broadband as an ISP? Also, when did the problem start for you?

I'm really sorry for your and others experience. I can confirm the problem is with the right team to resolve and investigations are ongoing. When I can update everyone on the thread, I will do.

Hi Kev . Yes ... puck keeps going to the Home Screen or showing wait for program to load . Nearly almost every morning i need to reset the puck . Sky is my broadband provider. I've not at any problem with the broadband and I am always showing 70 mbps and all other apps on the fire stick work great. What makes this more of a problem for me is that we thought this would be a very reliable service so we done away with our unsightly sky dish and tv aerial . Cheers Bigal.

@Bigal66
Do you have networked standby mode set to ON in the settings?
You may also want to turn overnight power saving off as well.

Hi Kev
You can add me to the list of complaints too.
sky puck keeps going to blue screen saying programs loading or press home button to refresh. Lol I hope the extra few quid you're getting in the April rise help fix the problem "mate"!

If you have connected via ethernet have you also disabled the Wifi in the Network settings. You need to do this to stop it switching back over to Wifi from the ethernet. Its usually best to reboot (unplug it for a minute) after you have disabled the Wifi as well to ensure it picks up the changed setting.
