Re: Sky glass blank, reloading or WiFi connection issue
We've done the same. Hard reset, new repeater, even though nothing was wrong with the WiFi. So many resets and unplug - plug back in.
still having the same problems. Going to ring again and see if there is anything else. Especially now I'm aware it's not just us!!

Re: Sky glass blank, reloading or WiFi connection issue
@AmyMcG85There has been no fix issued yet.
@Sylpaul It's pointless ringing and wasting your money at this point.
Requesting a new TV won't resolve it either because it's a software/firmware issue. All you can do is try the restart method from the System Settings menu (not factory reset though). For some that clears it for a time
Others have found that going through a factory reset with Sky (in case of issues re-setting the TV back up it should only be done over the phone with them) will clear it for a longer period before the issue starts again.
It's not a faulty TV or internet related issue - that much we do know as customers experiencing this problem.

@AmyMcG85 No fix yet. Those us getting this problem are as frustrated as you are.

Re: Sky glass blank, reloading or WiFi connection issue
Thank you for your reply. I hope they fix it soon as I'm finding it pretty annoying. I will continue with the restart a little longer 😅

Re: Last few days, technical fault with channel, disney plus etc works.
Like everyone posting here, I am thoroughly fed up with the Sky Glass issue. It's been very noticeable from approximately mid February. All the same symptoms stated here, switch on in the morning, select BBC 1 and after about 4 minutes the screen goes black but with sound. Occasionally, as someone posted, there is an audio clip from what sounds like a short preview of a programme. The most number of times I've had to reset was 11. However it's not restricted to only mornings. I was watching itvx at night when the same thing happened. If I didn't know better I would say that the TV was looking for app updates but due to a glitch in the latest update it's causing severe issues. Interestingly the only apps that work before resetting are YouTube and Amazon Prime!
I've been on the helpline 4 times and every time they are trying to blame it on my broadband, WiFi, too many devices using the bandwidth or using an ethernet connection. When I tell them I have had the same setup successfully for 4 years without issue they come with vague mutterings about solving the issue, all of which I've tried, to no avail. The last time I told them that if this doesn't get fixed soon, I will, regretfully be canceling my subscription. I've been with Sky nearly 30 years but enough is enough.

well, eleven days since factory restart, and my Glass now needs unplugging and plugging in again, just to be able to watch tv.

Re: Last few days, technical fault with channel, disney plus etc works.
Same again this morning. As yesterday, instead of a restart/ power recycle, I simply played a few seconds of any programme in the Prime TV App, then went back to live TV - programme loaded immediately. When I did this yesterday morning the TV functioned perfectly all day. It's like playing something first on one of the Apps 'wakes something up' in the software enabling the live programmes to load.

Re: Last few days, technical fault with channel, disney plus etc works.
I did this this morning also, and it worked 1st time. Fingers 🤞 this works instead of resetting it 3 or 4 times as this is just so frustrating.
I spoke with Gemma from sky support yesterday evening. Tech team are still working on a solution. That's about all I got from it.

I can also confirm that my Gen 1 Glass has rolled back to 035 and so far no issues.

@AmyMcG85 You can't force a roll back it be done automatically in batches

My Gen Two hasn't rolled back.
For those whose Gen One's have rolled back it would be interesting to know if the speech sync issue returns?

@Anonymous No Gen 1 rollback yet for me - hopefully overnight. I didn't experience the synch issues - got away with that one..
