Sky Stream Puck defaults to HD from Ultra HD every night

[Kaleem2]

My Sky Stream Puck resets to 1080p resolution every day when I come to switch it on in the morning.

The puck is connected to my AVR, which is connected to my TV; I have an HDMI 2.1 cable, 4K AVR, and 4K TV.

I find it strange that I can turn my puck on and off throughout the day with no issues, and it continues to output Ultra HD, however when it comes to the morning it defaults back to 1080p.

Does anyone have any solutions as it is quite frustating having to manually switch it back to 2160p every day.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like an overnight power saving mode either on your TV/AVR or the Puck, that is dropping the hdmi connection.

If you have not done so already, in the Puck settings under Start up and standby, turn the Overnight power saving to Off.

Once you have made that change, also do a settings restart that will make sure the option is saved.

Go to Settings>Systems Management>Resets & Updates
Select Restart device
Your Sky Stream puck will perform a reboot. It will take a few minutes to complete

Why do you do that ... doesn't you TV ser resolution dependent on input?

I turned the overnight power saving mode off on the puck, but the issue still persists, any other ideas ?

When your puck comes on it must see a UHD capable display or it will revert to HD. Make sure your avr and tv are on and ready before the puck comes ready. I have had this happen.

Surely there is a way to save the puck in 2160 so this doesn't happen? 
even worse my other puck which is connected to a Denon UHD amp and 1080p projector always defaults to 540. 
sky really need to improve the Stream service it is vastly overpriced for the quality of the service provided.

@maxinechapman1 unfortunately the issue is down to the way the HDMI system works not the programming of the puck. When the puck comes out of standby it sends a handshake message which sets out what video and audio standards it supports and the device at the other end of the cable replies in the same way and the two negotiate the best connection possible. If the other device does not reply in time the puck stops listening and goes to its default output which is 1080i. The suggestion of powering up the other devices first is a good one as it normally sorts this out. . 

You projector connection is weird as something is telling the puck to switch to 540 which is a non-standard output you need to check the settings on the amp as that is the most likely culprit.

Same issue here with the puck plugged into my Yamaha receiver.

Understand it's a HDMI handshake issue, however I've had a virgin 360 box previously, and it would save the 2160p picture setting permanently in the same setup.

I feel sky should make an option to force 2160p input unless changed

Exactly. Why not code so it checks after a 2 second delay. Save people the hassle of putting delays in place. Clearly others are doing something similar as Smart TV handles the scaling without issue. Sky Stream is a budget product at a premium price.
