Netgear Gigabit Switch

Hello. 
I have a working Netgear switch and fully working network/ lan cables. 
my sky stream box will not work when connected via this switch, fails to get IP address. 
the sky stream box will successfully work via direct Ethernet to router. 
all other devices are absolutely fine via the switch. 
As my Ethernet port is clearly working on the sky stream, does Sky have an issue with network switches?

Is it a managed switch? My Stream device is running through an unmanaged switch and has been for almost a year now.

It's unmanaged. Plug and play 5 ports.
