I'd thought we had tried that honestly. So when the message appears or the live tv stream fails to load, press the home button?

I also have the same problem. Sky said to factory reset which I did. It worked for 10 minutes then froze again. "technical probelm" etc

No issues with Netflix or any other platforms.

Believe it was mis sold to me and I am pushing to cancel

Same here.  All other streaming services work fine - just not the Sky ones.  Embarrasing.

I have now cancelled. As it is a streaming service which cannot be provided, they will accept the cancellation with immediate effect. 
now changed to Amazon Firestick. No issues at all.

Yep,same problem with me, resetting the puck either off/on from the remote  or powering down then on again didn't work, however, resetting from the 'Settings ' menu did work  + refreshing apps'  this is my second puck, which worked fine for approx' 2 months  !and seems to be working fine again,  quite frustrating, but good luck with getting it sorted.

I'm having the same issue. I have had the sky puck for a year. No issues until I moved house. Now I just can't seem to make it work. I do think it's a weak product. Sky rakes in a lot of money and can't make this thing work. Really frustrating that I pay £109 for a service that doesn't even work! Ridiculous!

Moving house would seem to be the issue. Have you checked your broadband speed via the Netflix app on the puck? Is the puck connected by ethernet or wi-fi? If wi-fi where is the router now situated? Has the puck a good line of sight to the router (not behind the TV etc.). Unfortunately there are so many variables it could be hard to track down.

Completely agree. What a lot of people don't realise is that there are numerous local factors for a property which will affect a Wifi network.
