All the apps are stored on Sky's servers, not the puck. Once you've started the refresh it'll carry on, regardless of the state of your puck. Quite why Sky say it can take up to 24 hours for the refresh to complete is anyone's guess. It seems abnormally excessive. 
In the meantime give your puck a full reboot by turning off at the wall for a few minutes then power back on. This can often help speed things up.
