Tv keeps loosing picture
Hello
I I have had my Sky Glass Gen 2 for less than 2 weeks. At least three or four times a day the picture just goes off with a blank screen. The audio is still there. I've read on forums that this seems to be a common problem. Why aren't they acknowledging this issue and pushing these TV's with a known issue

Re: Tv keeps loosing picture
@Sean195 Your other post you added to a unrelated thread on the Sky+ Board has been removed as you already posted your issue with Sky Glass on the correct board, creating additional posts on other boards is unhelpful.

Watching a programme and after the adverts the picture disappears
This has happened several times on different programmes. The sound is working but no picture. If I go back at a later time there is still no picture

Sky glass gen 2 losing picture
Hello,
has anyone had an issue where the screen would just go blank while watching something? This happens on regular channels and streaming. The sound still works just not the image. It's getting really annoying!
nothing is applicable in the trouble shooting walk through.

Re: Watching a programme and after the adverts the picture disappears
Welcome to the forum
Have you tried unplugging the tv /puck off at the mains for about 5 minutes to see if that works?

Re: Black screen
I was on the phone to Sky today (Saturday August 8th) and had a bit of a meltdown with the customer service rep because he was asking me all the same questions as what was asked many times before by other Sky customer service reps, and he tried to fob me off with excuses about my broadband/wi fi signal being too weak, and that the tv was suffering with latency and buffering. This was totally untrue as I have never had problems with my wi fi signal, or signal strength being delivered to the tv which will stream at a minimum of 15mbps, my wi fi has always been between 51mbps and 55mbps, more than enough for the tv to operate sufficiently. He also told me that my router may be switching between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, causing the lag and latency issues, this is also untrue because the Sky Glass Gen 2 tv's work perfectly well on both frequencies. After all the shouting, screaming and arguing, I finally managed to arrange a replacement tv which is coming Monday 10th August, and the faulty tv going back to Sky. My current tv is only less than a year old, and the problem with the picture disappearing only started roughly one month ago, so the problem has nothing to do with my wi fi.

Re: Watching a programme and after the adverts the picture disappears
That doesn't make any difference at all. I tried that 4 times with no avail. I even tried resetting my router, the tv's network settings and removing the batteries from the remote. None of these attempts made any difference. Definitely a fault with the tv. It could be a bad design or even a bad batch of tv's.

Of course trying those things didn't make a difference.
It's not the hardware.
It's not the batteries.
It's not your router, network settings, your inside leg size, which hand you hold the remote in.
I do not have a sig other than this message. SkyQ.

Sky One - Sound but no Picture
Watching program on Sky One and the picture vanishes but the sound continues. When it comes to the adverts the picture returns but goes again after the adverts. All other channels appear fine - in fact it only seems to happen on the latest episode of the series New Medicine.
