Gofibre issues

Hi All,

 

I've got a SKY Q box and I recently had GoFibre installed (they are the only company to offer fibre broadband in my area).  Installation of GoFibre was a trial in itself (several appointments missed and various days off work), but got installed eventually.  GoFibre engineer connected it to the Sky box and off I went.

 

Shortly after I noticed that various apps through Sky (primarily Disney+ and Amazon Prime) started pixellating intermediately.  It happened often enough that I would access the apps directly through my smart tv,  where the problem was absent.  No problems with any other device.  Ran a speed-test - no problems there.

 

Contacted Sky who sent out two engineers.  They couldn't fix the problem so ordered a new Sky Q box - problem still persisted.  Tried connecting directly to router with an ethernet cable.  Problem still presists.  GoFibre keeps telling me it's a Sky issue and has exhausted all it's trouble-shooting.  Any advise on how to fix this issue?

hi @Gabriel1980 , there is an issue with the original SkyQ boxes showing artifacts on streaming channels and it been going on for 3 months now.

 

Some users, including me, have reported the problem is solved by changing the Q box out for a version 2 unit; this unit has an external PSU.

 

What hardware version is your replacement box?
