What device are you doing this on? And it's in the Account menu / Security & privacy / Manage Access and Devices section

I understand what you say, however, scroll back to SKY Q origins there was no streaming of BBC / Paramount / Disney / Apple / ITV / C4 on offer. Hence that is a development requiring space. OK box my have memory, but there has to be designated space to provide entry from screen. A kind of sleep function until clocking tile in apps wakes it up. On a post before I have timed ITVX loading - up to 30 seconds. So that is presumably 30 seconds of open, fetch and load. That is not like a PC app that is click and open with (on W10) max 10 seconds. But from home app to netflix works quickly - pre-loaded?

The second post is NOT an answer it is a work around ( that doesn't work for me !)
This has been ongoing for over 8 months. Is anyone from SKY actually looking at this or are we all just talking among ourselves? It really can't be that I difficult to resolve.

Going via the home app to a recommended netflix - works for me and has done the past few weeks. Going via the Appa app only works if either a) I load e.g. ITVX [up to 30 seconds] or b) hover for 10 seconds over BBC I player then ITVX then 4 then Netflix. The indicator of working seems to be that the red circle without the word Netflix occurs then Netflix opens - albeit to the last user skipping out who is watchiung netflix. Other than that fumbling around i ain't got a clue as i am not a software engineer just been a light firtler since BBC B days. But beats the daily switch on switch off tactic. as to what SKY is up to - as pointed out aeons ago that this is a user's forum, not a inform SKY forum. Wheterh SKY are bothered or not is a different question as is a definitive solution. if there was a definitive universal solution than this thread would wither as it would be sortred by some technique - which it hasn't. What works for one doesn't work for others, or, requires an amount of "under the bonnet" know how technologically. Seems like the original days of apps as in "point and shoot" are gone with streaming. Its now check loading, check aiming, check trigger recheck aim then check firing technique then fire. User friendly life ain't

I too have the same issue. Netflix does not work on my main Sky Q box which is connected to my newest television. However, it does work on my satellite boxes connected to a collection of older tv's , a mix of LGs and Samsungs.

I've been having the same issues with the 'red circle.' I followed the original fix, which worked for a couple of weeks, but then I faced the issue again. I followed the suggestion by @Robw330
and it seems to have worked by inputting your PIN.

Yes it is. We have waited a few minutes but it doesn't move past that screen.
