I have literally just signed myself up for community posting just to say....

Argh!

This is all too regular an occurrence at my house. It's really annoying.

Sky really need to do something about it.

Ok my problem solved (i think) 

I have been told by Sky that because i do not have my Netflix through Sky it will never load on Sky Q and just bring back connectivity errors – I am pretty sure i was told at the time of accepting to switch to Sky Q i could still use my Netflix account thorugh  Q I just had to sign in as you would do with their App. I want to keep my Netflix bill independant from other bills and login to it on any device i like when i travel.

If a super user could confim this to be the case please if known that Netflix will not work on Q unless I subscribe through Sky?

Thanks

"Our" Netflix is actually the sons account that he had before we got Q, we pay for it on the Sky bill is the main difference to yourself.

I had Netflix as an add on from Sky,  I can use it on other devices, e.g. my tablet and a Fire stick.

Fingers crossed after several refresh apps and reboots etc. etc. it seems to have settled down, well for the last coouple of weeks. 

It was intermittant and when it went wrong I was always too busy to call Sky as it takes so long.

What worked for me (with being stuck on the loading screen) was to first go into prime video and then going to Netflix from there (using the voice control)

@Lisa-P1987 how do we get one of these invites for help?

I wasn't aware that I had ANY help from SKY, i'm still having trouble with Netflix.  The only communication I'm seeing on here is a zillion and one replies from other people about the same problem! surely SKY you need to look at a software fix on the Q boxes to fix this.

Did you not get a blue chat bubble at the bottom of the page? I'll try again and I'll do the same for Mark. They time out after 48 hours.

Thanks for escalating this. We’ve sent @Anonymous and @Mark187187  an invite to chat.

@Chodley  I got mine fixed by Sky the first time, but back to the red circle of doom the next day. The only thing that resolves this issue now is turning off the power to the Sky box for 5 minutes. Not really conducive for an evenings viewing, when you have to power down constantly 🙄

How did Sky "fix" it for you the first time?

[Mark187187]

@Chodley thanks for that. I'm chatting with them now.

@Colin0000 

 by talking me through resetting the Apps, although if I'd googled it, I would've found it online.

Tbh, it doesn't work every time though, and who wants to go through this malarkey every time you want to see what's on Netflix?!

Sky just needs to sort it out!!
