@Webbie13  Your post has been moved from the Sky Go Board as Sky Go is a PC/Mobile app and unrelated to Sky Stream.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Technical faults generally arise with a weak internet or wifi signal. How are you connected ethernet cable or wifi? Ethernet is more stable. Check in the Netflix app under settings how strong your wifi signal is. The puck requires a clean line of site to your router.

As mentioned above this is most probably due to some local network issues or interference. That is a ke factor for a reliable experience with Sky Stream.


Can you do a network speed test on your Puck.
Launch Netflix on your puck  (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 several  times, say over a half hour period or during your busiest household network times between tests.
What is your speed?

 

Also, it may be suffering from interference, 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.
Try to keep the puck 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.
