Re: Fed up with reliability of Sky Puck
Some food for thought there. Mine has gone from unstable to buffering (principally on Netflix). Come ot of the program and go straight back in and it's fine. It's almost as if it is not getting am acknowledgement to some data being received so doesn't get any more. I can go way nerdy on this as I was a data comms engineer working on IP, ATM, IP over ATM, blar blar.
Oh, also my puke is cabled not but I do only have a 63MB Internet connection (and run a B&B so they often pinch bandwidth 🙄)

Re: Fed up with reliability of Sky Puck
Hi, thanks for your response. My puck is connected via Ethernet so WiFi doesn't come into it.
I am however pleased to say, since I followed someone else's advice on here by turning off the standby power saving settings and making sure the puck stays connected during standby, I haven't had a single crash. Go figure 🤷🏼😂
I've not had Sky since the SkyHD days having been with Virgin Media, and I dumped them months ago.
I used an Nvidia Shield and a NAS for my content but really wanted something that brought a lot of the services together under one roof so to speak, without being entirely tied to a provider.
Sky Stream has allowed me to do this. How long
