Check Sky Glass connection

Hi, I'm trying to set up Sky Stream, it keeps asking me to check Sky Glass connection but I never ordered Sky Glass?

The same operating system is used on both the Stream puck and the Glass TV. There can be a few clumsy crossover glitches like this. You can ignore it. Try turning the Stream puck off at the mains for a minute then power it back on and try setting it up again. They can be temperamental little things and don't always work properly on first boot up.

@Martin120  Under no circumstances should you do a facory reset of your puck unless you're being advised to do it by the support team on  the phone,  doing a factory reset can & will cause issues.

 

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

Doing a factory reset is really not a big deal. Sky even tell you how to do it on one of their own help pages where they call it the 'recovery process':

I had to do it on my puck a couple of times and it was absolutely fine. It was a lot quicker than trying to get help on the phone from Sky, that's for sure, but yes, if in any doubt @Martin120 give Sky a ring or wait for the chat bubble to get some assistance directly from them.

@Padam_Padam the difference is that the scenaio Sky have published the steps under is for initial setup issues, where doing a reset isn't a big deal as the puck is likely not already registered to an account.

 

There are been numerous issues reported on the forum where people have just reset an already registered puck or glass and find out that they can' reactivate it against their account, because the reset process has gone wrong and it still detects the device as registered against the Sky account. This the reason Sky recommend only doing a reset when advised under other scenarios, as it does mean if this issue crops up the advisor can make the required change on the account to register the device so the customer can follow the on-screen setup process.
