Obvious first question: Have you turned it off at the mains for a good 5 minutes before turning it on again? Clears many issues.
Also worth seeing if there are any problems by logging into Service Checker in MySky. You can also get troubleshooting advice here: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/service-checker-sky-glass-help

My Sky Glass, the screen keeps going black but the sound is working. Keeps happening
Problem starts with the top of the screen, "waiting to load", then screen goes completely black but the sound on the required station is still functioning. I pull the plug out, leave it for a couple of minutes, insert plug again. It works for a while, then it all happens again. This is now happening with greater frequency.

Mint too! Has been since last evening. At first assumed it was just my TV (has had issues with my last glass TV).
was told in the phone that it's known to them and they are trying to fix it.
I was also told not to keep on restarting it as can damage the software in the TV?
who know - I've other issues too (broadband). So am at my whitsend!

Re: Glass to
Are there any other suggestions to a fix?
have tried the reset/reboot, on/off again to the TV and router! None of which helps, it keeps happening!
Sky told me just this afternoon, not to keep rebooting as it will affect the software.

Re: Glass to
Yesterday I had to reset my Sky Glass Air twice to get it to work. Today it is totally useless. After reset the programme plays for about five minutes and then the screen goes black with the sound still playing. The upper menus are still there. Even the Freeview tuner gives a black screen. It will play the HDMI input from my DVD player properly. I have tried unplugging for more than five minutes and tried reset from the Settings menu.
All this suggests that the internet is not a factor and either the hardware has failed (after only a year or so) or it is a defective firmware update.
I am now trying to get Sky Go working on my tablet, but of course that is a whole different can of worms.

Re: Glass to
OK, I've flogged through the Factory Reset process and my Sky Glass is working again, for now. This seems to rule out hardware failure and point to a bad firmware update. It would be really nice if Sky would suspend firmware updates until they figure out what they are getting wrong.
