@pete1986andrew 

Not near my Sky Q at the moment to check but if it's an issue affected lots of customers I suggest you email the Viewer Relations Team at viewerR@sky.uk

I get this occasionally when first tuning to the channel, but it only lasts a couple of seconds. It's been fine all day today though.

I checked on my Sky Q box at about 1545 and it was fine.

@pete1986andrew  You haven't actually said which tv platform you have 

 

sky Q, + , glass or stream

@pete1986andrew 

Previous posts you've made suggest you have Glass. Is that still the case?

By the way, your duplicate thread you started this evening has been removed as you have this one, you've emailed the VRT and you've apparently rung as well.

Your thread has been moved to the Glass board as you've confirmed that's what you have.
