@BecclesBen  Have you cycled through the HDMI inputs using your TV remote to slect the correct input?

Re: TV can't find puck

It knows there's 'something' plugged in as I swapped the port and it knew but the puck won't activate - there's a white light underneath - not sure what colour that should be?

@BecclesBen  Did you have it setup & working previously?

This is often a case of the puck getting stuck in a standby type state.

 

Have a read of this Sky help article, namely performing the recovery procedure on step o 4;

Re: TV can't find puck

I tried that - thanks for sending the link - all seemed good - it even booted to the welcome page, then it went off again - can't find - check HDMI cable etc - tried 2 different cables - the brand new one and another one I had from the Virgin puck... 

 

So pee'd off with this **bleep** technology

Re: TV can't find puck

yes - when I first got it, I plugged it all in, went through the setup stuff and all was fine.  

 

I then switched off the TV to go do some work, and turned it on again at lunchtime and it wouldn't work

@BecclesBen  Sonething to check on the Samsung TV is UHD color activated on the HDMI inputs in the General settings?

Re: TV can't find puck

how did you know I had a Samsung TV?? - anyway - i'll check that - but as I said, it was working fine then not. I've plugged the old Virgin puck back in now and it just worked (albeit I had to wait a couple of minutes for it to start which is usual - and annoying)

@BecclesBen 

 

Think it's best you work with Sky to fix, could even be a replacement needed.

 

I've escalated this to Sky and they should be in touch with you soon about it.
Look out for a message from Sky on your email and Sky Community private messages.
Look out for the blue chat bubble within your Sky community.

Note: Escalation conversations automatically close if there is no response within 48 hours.
More about an escalation here;

Re: TV can't find puck

I see your message, but no chat bubble as expected (i've tried on Chrome and my andriod phone).

 

I tried to reply to your message, but it complains asking me to fix teh highlighted issue - of course, there's no highlighted issue.

 

Quickly losing faith with Sky.....
