Problem viewing some programs on Sky Arts

When I click to view some featured programs or documentaries on Sky Arts I get the message that no programs of this type are available. I have rebooted my Sky Q box which is connected to gigabyte broadband

Took you longer to type that than do the search 😁

 

Different error though so I'm not at all sure it is the same root cause.

Live television on Sky Q doesn't arrive over broadband: it's received through the satellite dish.

Re: Problem viewing some programs on Sky Arts

Thanks but I don't get the not available message when trying to watch live tv. I get it when I try to watch (mainly Sky Arts) on demand /catch up programs/documentaries.

And it's gigabit 😉

 

This does sound like an error from catch-up, rather than the live TV Guide though.

 

edit: yeah exactly. Sorry, cross-posted.

 

do you have an example I can test?

On demand

Sky channels

Sky Nature

Great African Tales

Zambia Untamed

 

To be fair, some programs that generated the not available message last night are now viewable strangely.

 

i rebooted the Sky q box last night and I'm currently forcing a software update. I'll also reset my broadband connection

Yeah that works fine for me

 

I wonder if this is related to the Akamai CDN issue in the other thread where it's intermittent because it depends which server you get round-robinned to.

Re: Problem viewing some programs on Sky Arts

I'll have to search for the Akama issue you mention unless you can send me a link to it
