When I used to say hello sky, and then volume up or down, or searching for a TV show, or fast forward it used to do it. Now I get, Sorry, I can't do that!
I've been trying to ask the bot chat but no matter what I ask that it thinks I want to leave. Is there something wrong with voice and the chat bot? Just annoying as I've only just finished paying for my Sky Glass and now it feels like a really basic TV and the chat bot just wants me to leave Sky lol.
All the help options I've completed. But they don't seem to have an option for when it's not my remote that's not working, or that's it not hearing me. It hears me but just refuses to do whatever function I ask for. And I get the Sorry, I can't do that. Not even the sorry I can't do that here you sometimes get when on an app on the TV. Like Disney for example.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

Morning Everyone
Thank you for your patience whilst we worked through this problem.
As @Heymacarenaboi has posted, this fault has been resolved. Our support teams have also confirmed this.
In terms of the volume control in the digital remote control, we've fed this into our product teams 🙂

Sorry I can't do that message
Although I can change channel by voice using the remote control, when I try to change channel by voice through the TV I get an error message saying "sorry I can't do that". Ths has only recently happened. Is there an easy fix for this?

Re: Most basic voice actions not working
@Heymacarenaboi What version of the Glass do you have, gen 1, gen 2 or Air? Also if you check the system info under Settings -> system management what build and UI version are you on?

I've just checked on my Glass Air and the My Sky voice navigation is currently working as expected, so its possible the issue is linked to either the generation of glass or various software versions.

I ask My sky glass tv to play such a program, and it says sorry, I can’t do that.
The last couple of days, my sky tv says "Sorry, I can't do that. Each time I ask it to play sky news, for example. Or any other
request.

Re: Most basic voice actions not working
The fact that 5 people have raised this issue today is oddly reassuring.
Hopefully just a small bug at Sky's end that they'll soon sort out.

Re: Most basic voice actions not working
Just wondering, has anyone who is experiencing this issue tried a reboot of their Glass to see if it resolves the "Hello Sky" voice navigation problem?
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to System Management
3. Press Select
4. Go to Resets and Updates
5. Press Select
6. Go to Restart Device
7. Press Select.
Note this will take a few minutes to reboot, so expect to see a blank screen for 2 minutes until the Sky logo appears as its starting up.

Re: Most basic voice actions not working
I've tried all of this and the reboot and I'm still no better off. I'm going to call and get them to try and send an update through. Something happened before when the skip ada update happened. The update didn't go through for some reason. I'm hoping it's that. I'm on build version qs040.011.00p and UI 3.171.2 I have a 1st Gen Glass

Re: Most basic voice actions not working
We've got the same problem. Ours started on the evening of 19 May. We've unplugged the Glass for a few hours with no great confidence it's going to make a difference. Reassuring, though, to know others have the same problem and it's therefore likely not our TV that's faulty!

Re: Most basic voice actions not working
Same here, thought there was a fault with my sky glass gen 2 as I only had it delivered on Sunday. Hopefully sky will get a fix soon.
