Sky Glass freezing

This has just started happening to me, and I have seen other similar posts.


I have had the Sky Glass for three years, it's always been connected via Ethernet. Never had an issue until this last week. 
I run my own aerial, satellite and tech business (for 21years) so know how to fault find. Here's what I have done: 

watched the same apps through my Virgin box which is connected to the same Virgin hub two foot to one side of the Sky Glass TV. The Virgin box plays faultlessly.

 

Checked that wifi is off( it is). 
disconnected the ethernet lead and reinstated the wifi.

Changed ethernet leads.

Changed ports in the hub.

reset the Sky Glass to factory settings then reinstalled.

tested the speeds on Betflix on both the Sky Glass TV and the Virgin box (it's around 91mbps on Sky Glass, 170+mbps via Virgin).

rebooted my router.

depowered sky glass.

depowered both sky glass and router simultaneously.

Hit sky glass with a sledgehammer (not really, but I felt like doing it!)

Spoke to Sky advisor who suggested the ethernet cable was probably getting interference from the wifi or electrical impulses, and to disconnect it and move the router further away...

 

I honestly cannot think of anything else that may be the issue.

The ONLY thing that has changed is that my Sky subscription ended...

 

Is there anyone else who is or has experienced the exact same as me please? Better still would be an answer, even if it's just to say Sky Glass is badly flawed.
