Sky Glass freezing

Does anyone else have issues where their sky glass tv just freezes. I've had sky engineers out. Rang numerous times just to be told to rested tv and WiFi. Also been told to plug in using USB which I done. Yet still it freezes at least once or twice a week.

Ethernet  is more stable  than  WiFi  and you  need a minimum broadband speed of 25mps to the watch hd channels  and a minimum  of 35mps  to  watch  uhd channels,  you can see what speed  your  tv is getting  by going  to the Netflix app opening it go to  get  help  click on that  and  going to  check  my network and run that

The usb port on the gen 1 will only charge  something like  a mobile phone,  but it's  for the sky live camera  to be plugged  into  as its  a USB c port, I  used to use that port to charge  my mobile phone  until  I  go the camera

Re: Sky Glass freezing

What exactly do you mean by freezes? Is it similar to this issue affecting many customers at the moment?

Re: Sky Glass freezing

The tv just wigs out screen freezes. Remote won't work buttons won't work on tv and makes a jittering noise of the last thing said or heard. Have to unplug the tv and do a reset as stated by sky help everytime I ring them.

Re: Sky Glass freezing

@DavidD85 To me, that sounds like a faulty TV problem if your internet speeds are fine. Are you still within your first two years owning it? If so, it's covered for replacing for free.

Yes within 2 years. How would I go about getting a replacement?

Turns out I've had it 3 years but have reported many time over the whole term with the same issue.
