Technical issue…

I'm on day 3 of Sky stream and having an absolute mare. Just wanted to see if there was anyone having similar problems and any solutions before I loose my mind!!!

 

Constant error of black screen and "technical issue, please try again later". 

From what I have been reading a lot of people say this is due to poor WiFi/internet connection. Why is it then that all of our other devices work fine on the WiFi AND, if I use an app on the stream such as Prime or BBC, I can watch a programme fine? I just can't watch live TV! It is driving me nuts!


When I go on settings and network it's says "excellent WiFi connection"!

 

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi @JBradShaw 

 

There are known ssues as a result of firmware. See this thread:

What is your broadband speed?  and how is your  puck connected  to it, if you  can  connect it by an ethernet cable  it will  be more efficient than WiFi connection, also the more  devices that you have connected to the Internet the weaker the signal is to each one,  if your  tv is a 4k one and you  subscribe  to watch  in uhd then that needs  a minimum of 35mps to view a programme and to watch  a programme  in HD at is a minimum of 25mps, really  i  would  suggest  that a minimum  to  the should  be 50mps to the puck, i  have sky gigafast broadband 900mps and a busy  household and both of my  55inch sky glass tvs, puck, sky live camera, freesat box, 43inch lg smart tv, Xbox, laptop, personal  computer, tablet, 3 mobile phones, 3 alexers,  and no problems  at all, just what I  have, that is full fibre to the property
