Symbol on tv screen
Just changed from Sky entertainment package to Sky Signature. A symbol has now appeared on screen
- a grey circle with a line across (see pic attached). How do I get rid of it?

@Fiverdog I suspect that is coming from your TV, not Sky.

I don't think so because when I use my tv remote instead of the Sky remote the symbol disappears.

I think that's a large clue it is the TV...

That's confirmation that it's from your TV then

Given that info then it is clearly your TV and not your Sky box.

Re: Symbol on tv screen
Thought I'd found the problem. Using the tv remote I discovered the tv wasn't connected to the wifi - great I thought, that's probably the problem. After a frustrating hour got the wifi to connect with the tv ... alas, the symbol remains. Now the tv remote won't work! Looks like we'll have to live with it. 😡

Re: Symbol on tv screen
Are you using an external soundbox or bar?
To me that looks like an attempt to indicate onboard television speakers are muted.

The tv is connected to a speaker and a soundbar. There doesn't appear to be any sound from the speaker but the soundbar is working ok. Will continue investigating! Thanks. 🤣

Re: Symbol on tv screen
That looks like the symbol LG TVs show when the speaker is muted. It's definitelty something from the TV in any case and not Sky related.
