I’m ready to cancel Sky.

I'm fed up with Sky now. They're quick to take your money but the support is awful. I've updated to a uhd box and it just freezes and overheats.

 

I've had Samsung remote into my TV and assure there is nothing wrong with it. All the apps on the tv work in UHD HDR.    

 

Sky told me to update the software on the box to Q220, but it will not take it and stays at Q210. I think it's unacceptable there isn't an easy solution to this. My Tv model is QE50Q80B. I'd love to hear if anyone has this TV with Sky Q 1TB UHD box.

@liz11112Unfortunately you can't update the software version until it has been sent to everyone as it is sent out in batches.

Hi @liz11112   You are being fobbed off, I very much doubt that updating the software to Q220 will make any difference at all. If there was a problem with Q210, this community would have had a meltdown with viewers complaining.

 hi @liz11112 

 

As the others have indicated we are not too sure why you would have been advised to update to Q220, which. although it may have started being rolled out,  we don't think is available for manual install & suspect it would not make a difference.

 

To assist you  I have escalated your post to the SKY  support team that assist  customers from these groups  & who, hopefully, will be in touch.

 

Please see this link re the escalation and what you might see:

Re: I’m ready to cancel Sky.

So another update. I took a 4K monitor and new 4K hdmi cable home from work to test the Sky Q box and guess what? Exactly the same issue on the screen. Glitching locking up the menu. 

This is after Sky told me there is no way that can happen it's the TV. It's the SkyQ box. It's the only thing left in line and the same problem. 

it's frustrating  I've had to spend so long on the phone to Sky and then Samsung and then had to prove the point to sky. Now they're just going to send and engineer out.
