@Brightontapdancer You need to say what you have done, cryptic clues do not work on the Forum!

@Brightontapdancer  Do you mean you have moved from Sky Q (Satellite Dish based service) to stream?

 

What steps have you tried to resolve these issues?

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

@Brightontapdancer 

Have combined your multiple threads into this thread.

Please do not keep starting new  threads. We will try and help you with your Sky Stream issues on your Sky broadband here.

 

Does sound like your puck is getting some kind of interference that is affecting your wifi connection to your Sky Stream pucks.


Having a good local network broadband reach is key to running Sky Stream reliably.
It is not just broadband speed to your house and router, but for your local network supply via wifi.

Best way to test is via a network speed test on your Sky Stream Puck.
Launch Netflix on your pucks (you do not need to be logged into it, if you do not use netflix) and scroll down the left menu to Get help.
Choose Check Network.
Would suggest running the test a few times, over say a half hour period.
What is your speed for the puck?


It may be suffering from interference, the puck much like a Sky Q box can for some customers suffer from this at times. More often seen as an intermittent blip.
Not always a cure, but the following may help to resolve;
Make sure you have a good 6-8 inches free on all sides of the puck.
Do not stack the puck on top of any other device.
Best not to sit it on a glass shelf. Wood is generally the best.
Make sure the puck is in the open, not tucked away in a cabinet or sat directly behind the TV.
Make sure you have no other devices that can cause interference closeby, like cordless phones, radiators, baby monitors, smart meter in home displays, microwaves and the like.

Plus, change your puck to the following recommended settings set in the Puck Settings menu;
Set Network standby mode to ON and Overnight power saving to OFF.

 

A possible alternative, if you cannot sort out a reliable local network wifi connection to the puck, is to use an ethernet cable or use a set of powerline Ethernet adapters.

If you do start using ethernet, turn wifi OFF under Network in the Sky Stream Puck settings.
