First time Sports + user, trying to watch the Blackpool game. There's continual breaks or freezes which I thought would be internet issues....... but my VM is booting out 1gb at source and according to my phone, 500mb minimum where the Sky box is........ any ideas, (apart from rebooting as I've done that twice!)?
Moderator note: updated title to be more specific to freezing/buffering

Posted by a Sky employeeHi all,
Thanks alot for taking the time to give us feedback on Sky Sports+. Our teams are working hard to bring you the very best content across multiple different broadcasts on all different platforms and whilst most streams are being delivered smoothly, we’re aware of a small number of streams not running as they should for some customers as seen here on the Community forum and our social media handles.
We’re working collaboratively with the EFL and production partner IMG to resolve these as quickly as possible in real time, however your feedback is crucial to us.
I've put together a form so we can better understand the exact broadcasts you are experiencing freezing/buffering, this will allow us to report these back to support teams for review.
This form will take around 3 minutes to complete where I ask you to be as thorough as you can.
Prior to this form being filled out, we've identified some issues where this can be resolved using troubleshooting:

Signed up for Sky Sports+ earlier this month for £20pm to specifically watch Bolton. They have been on twice so far including tonight and quality is abysmal to say the least!! Even shows message saying this programme is not streaming!
Not fit for purpose

I seem to be having same issues and been told to reboot 😵💫 @RetfordRob

I certainly know who wants rebooting !

I'm watching Coventry v Oxford via Sky Sports+ and it keeps stopping every few minutes. I can't really enjoy it as I'm constantly having to restart it! I tried to reset the box but that had no effect

My tv shows 44 minutes played and now have phone update from Sky saying it's half time

Is this really is the future.........🤣

Same issue Barnsley v Sheffield Utd. Almost unwatchable. Freezes for 2 seconds every 2 or three minutes. Terrible service at the price paid.
27 Aug 2024 08:43 PM
Keeps kicking me out of the game and buffering intermittent, 71mb sec internet content, ironically with Sky!! Poor, poor service that has been paid for.
27 Aug 2024 08:46 PM
I would hope someone from Sky is noting our comments because when I complained after first match they said there were some technical issues 😳😂
we should be refunded our monthly payment

It isn't your box, it's the horrendous streaming service that is Sky Sports +, same trying to watch the Barnsley v Sheff Utd game. Buffering, freezing every min or so, completely unwatchable

Same here - watching the Millwall Orient match on Sky+ and it keeps jumping channels to another Sky Sports game. Happening so often it's unwatchable. Glad to find this on here as I was just about to start resetting everything! No other problems with the Sky boxes on all other channels - just Sky+

Happening to me too watching Brighton vs Crawley. Reconnected my Sky Q boxes and still freezing.
