Sky puck

My sky pick just keeps jumping and freezing making it nearly impossible to watch love things. Picture becomes blurry or just completely loses picture

Often issues like you are reporting are around a poor wifi signal to your Sky Stream puckor some kind of local interference.

Best way to test is via a network speed test on each of your Pucks.
Launch Netflix on your pucks (you do not need to be logged into it, if you do not use netflix) and scroll down the left menu to Get help.
Choose Check Network.
Would suggest running the test a few times, over say a half hour period during tests.
What is your speed for each puck?


Also, as mentioned above it may be suffering from interference, moreoften 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.
If you can, 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.

Plus, change both your pucks to following recommended settings set in Settings>
Set Network standby mode to ON.
Turn wifi OFF under Network if ever connected via ethernet.
