Try rebooting the puck from the settings menu. This happens to us occasionally but a quick reboot fixes it.

Is it happening on a specific program or channel or is it on everything?

Re: Please wait while programme loads issue
It sounds like you are getting some interference at times on your Sky Stream connection.
Your speed is above the recommended, but at times it may be dropping close to the Sky recommended levels.
Are you using a wifi connection? If so it may be wise to use an ethernet cable to the router if you are able and see if that can provide a more stable connection.
Can you run the Netflix test over an hour period with say test every fifteen minutes at a busy internet time in your household and see if that speed fluctuates..
Having a good local network broadband reach is key to Sky Stream.
Not just broadband speed to your house and router, but for your local network supply via wifi or ethernet, that can be affected in a busy household.
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.
You should be using the Sky supplied hdmi cable or a high speed equivalent one.
Plus, change both your pucks to following recommended settings set in Settings>
Turn wifi OFF under Network if connected via ethernet.
Set Network standby mode to ON and Overnight power saving to OFF.
Sky Stream with two pucks (Former Sky Q and Sky+ customer), Sky Ultrafast + using Sky SR203 hub. Sky Protect kit tester.
My good journey to Sky Stream from Sky Q. Click here to read
