@Jones46  It would be unlikely the puck freezes the TV, or do you mean the picture/channel/content you're watching on Sky Stream is buffering/pixelating?

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

The streaming box (puck) is receiving the TV programmes you are watching via your broadband. 
The broadband connection MUST be fast and stable, otherwise Sky Stream simply won't work. 
Run a network check from the get help menu on the Netflix app. This will tell you the speed actually being received by the puck. You need a minimum of 25Mbps but preferably a LOT more for a chance of having a stable service.
