Just to let you guys know, I had to replace the puck.
New puck worked first time.
So if you have similar issues, highly likely it will need to be replaced.

Re: Sky puck software error
Did you follow the troubleshooting on the advised link? There's a phone number to call at the end of it all - call it and Sky will send out a replacement puck if they can't get this one to function.

Re: Sky puck software error
I have been reading about people having issues with replacement picks.
I followed all the troubleshooting.
It downloads the update, then have way through installing it gives the error.

Re: Sky puck software error
Hi, other than unplugging the power, then holding in the button on the underside and keep holding, plug in the power.
Keep the button pushed in until the light flashes red/yellow.
This is a full factory reset. If this fails, then telephone sky.
If I have helped, please click the thumb 🐵

Re: Sky puck software error
Yes I tried the hard reset, power off, hold button until alternate colour flashes.
It then goes to download, asks me to hold 7 and 9.
Then the error pops up and asks to reboot.
Not looking good having issues from day one I have to say .
Thanks for your help
