Absolute joke of a product
I've been using the sky streaming puck for over a year now. It worked fine for a while but then we started to have issues. Just recently we moved house and since then I can't seem to make it work. I even got a new puck and still no joy.
The issue is the same thing always "wait for your program to load" and after that a nice beautiful blue screen. I tried to reset, hard reset, factory reset, prayer, burning sage but it doesn't want to work! Absolute joke of a product that I'm paying £109 per month for!!!
Oh and don't start me on the cancellation process!!

You need to call sky about this issue and also you should not do a factory reset without taking to a sky advisor as this can cause more problems than it solves

Re: Absolute joke of a product
I see you have tried many things.
Often the software update issue is resolved by doing the recovery procedure on step 2 or the forced update procedure on step 3 of this Sky help article;
Plus, if you are using wifi, try temporarily connecting with an ethernet cable doing the above procedures.

Note: we have been informed that it is not recommended to do a factory reset, unless Sky have advised and you are on a call with Sky at the time.
It can cause some ongoing account issues that only Sky can fix.
Sky Stream with two pucks (former Sky Q and Sky+ customer).
Sky Ultrafast + using Sky SR203 hub. Sky Mobile unlimited data. Sky Protect smart tech kit tester.

OK, so what else has changed?
What's the new broadband and WiFi setup?
