Hi @Johng58,

 

If you haven't already, might be worth trying a reboot of the Glass to see if this clears the issue.

 

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.

@Johng58 Does this happen all the time or is it an intermittent issue?

 

It might be worth running a network speed test from the Sky Glass just to check the download speed your Sky Glass is receiving when this issue occurs. To do this, open the Netflix app on the Glass, go to Get Help -> Check My Network, and there will be an option to run a diagnostic check, which will report back the download speed.

Re: what is a uhd playback issue

It usually happens after 15 mins of watching a Sky programme like Sky Sports or even ITV. However, there are no issues with Netflix or YouTube . I have another broadband provider just checked speed as 421 .03 download speed, 361.14 upload speed.
