Hi there, I am in Ireland btw. My ISP is Virgin media, but it is the SIRO network here. Siro.ie  Connected via wifi I guess.


Can you run the speed test in the Netflix app ? It's likely the wifi signal reaching the puck may not be of sufficient strength 

 

if possible connect with an ethernet cable directly to the router to see if the issues still persist. If far away you can always try an inexpensive set of powerline adapters

Re: Lip Sync issues - Sky Stream

They are right beside each other. But, I'll give the Netflix app thing a try.

Re: Freezing still happening

The speed on the Netflix 'check your network'  Green ticks for, Internet connection, Netflix server 1 and 2. Connection speed is 94.48. Again, they are right beside each other. A bit slow, I would have thought. Do you think I would be better hardwiring the Puck to the router?

 

Thanks.

Connecting via Ethernet will probably give you a similar, if not slightly slower speed as the Puck only has a 10/100 port. It may be more stable than WiFi though.

Re: Freezing still happening

@Mark39    I'm in a CIAS dispute presently, they've made one offer concerning compensation but it's not an acceptable amount so me and CIAS have refused their offe

They need to come back with improved terms now 

Anyone can leave penalty free by giving 30 days notice and on Stream, there's nothing Sky can do about that

Indeed, no reason to stay and put up with it if you think Stream's performance doesn't measure up.

But wouldn't either the majority or all customers be seeing the same issue as you?

Re: Freezing still happening

It is well known that anyone can leave sky stream even if in contract. For all those that are unhappy, why don't you just leave ?

Why do posts get removed with issues

It's frustrating that posts that we put up with faults seem to be taken down? Is there a reason this is happening to me and others? I don't think this is reasonable and as customers we should be able to put this on, so it helps not just Sky with the ongoing issues, but more importantly it helps us the customers, and we should all be able to give views on things as long as it's within the rules on here

 

I put one with regards black screens and freezing on Sky stream not Sky glass last night

 

I suspect I know why this is happening

@Super+Anthony 

I have moved your post here, as it relates to a few posts you may be mentioning.


A few of your recent posts have recently been merged into here and into other relevant ongoing issue threads. Your new created threads were the same issue as you have already created a post for.
Plus, sometimes posts get automatically hit by the community 'spam' type tools for a number of reasons and get sent off for review, often will reappear at a later stage.

Re: Freezing still happening

Thanks @lettice, apologies. I think what could help, is maybe a notification or something so I can then find it? Is this possible at all
