Re: Blue screen - Please wait

I have just spoken to HO and they are sending me a new router. He also mentioned it's difficult with regards the blue screen as there are several people having the same issue but as far as he can see, everyone has different set ups and it's all very random

I'm sure you know by now 😀

 

Once you have your new router up and running.

On each of your Sky Stream pucks, do a full network reset within the puck settings on your puck.

If I recall correctly you use wifi to connect rather than Ethernet.

Making sure after doing that under Settings > Start up and Standby that Networked standby mode is ON and Overnight power saving is OFF, just in case the network reset changes these options, we are told it is not supposed to.

Put your Sky Stream puck on standby by pressing the Standby button on your Sky remote or on the bottom of your Sky Stream puck.

Switch off your Sky Stream puck at the mains or if no socket switch, unplug it from the socket. Leave off for about 30 seconds, there is  no need to actually unplug the cable from the back of the actual puck.

Turn all back on.

@Super+Anthony   To get you some help with this I have escalated your post to the Sky Messaging team. This link explains how it works https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Did-you-know/Escalating-a-post-to-a-Sky-expert/ba-p/3711147#M1014

Keep an eye out for an invite or blue chat bubble.

When the blue bubble does appear you have 48 hours to respond or it will be automatically closed.

Be reassured the email & message is from Sky and your details are safe and secure.
If you are using Safari please make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the blue bubble. If you are having trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Firefox, Chrome etc.

I would also recommend that if not already on, that you turn email/private message notifications on to avoid missing any alerts

@Super+Anthony  It should appear bottom of the screen when you log in to the community, if you have any pop up blockers on you may need to deactivate them.

Re: Blue screen - Please wait

@GD1 Thank you so much. Not seen anything as yet. Maybe if they could email me, that would be easier, if possible?

@lettice  If I plug it through the Ethernet, do I follow same path? Obviously I need to turn off WiFi. If you can provide instructions, that would be awesome
