Blue screen - Please wait

Hi all, is the please wait on the blue screen supposed to happen the first time you turn on each day? I have spoken to Hyperoptic who are my broadband provider, and they have said they have fixed all the issues, particularly this one, and they have updated Sky. I did a factory reset yesterday as advised by HO and spoke to sky about it as well. It's still happening. My broadband speeds are perfectly fine and around 500Mbps

Please wait - blue screen

Hi all

 

Love stream - an upgrade from Sky q.

 

 Quick question, every time I open up stream for the first time each day, I keep getting blue screen saying please wait

 

 Sky have been very helpful and told me this shouldn't happen. Does anyone else get this?

Hi @Super+Anthony it's worth checking that networked standby more is set to ON and overnight power saving mode is set to OFF in the settings.

 

The puck can take a few minutes to wake up after it's been in standby and for successfully connect to the internet. Having the settings set this way should significantly speed that up, I know it worked for me.

Re: Please wait - blue screen

I do have it on those settings, thank you @MarkGoldsmith 

Sky are being very helpful and looking into the issue. It can take around 10 mins to clear the screen and get to the home menu. Hopefully they can fix it

Ten minutes sounds a long to me for it to connect up from standby.
Are you seeing the not connected logo on screen, where for a brief time its not finding your internet connection or just the words 'please wait' ?

 

Not seen this on either of my pucks in the three months I have had it. One puck is on ethernet, the main lounge one on wifi.
I do have the network standby set to ON and overnight standby OFF.

Might be worth doing a power reset of the puck, leaving off power for about 30 seconds.
Its seen as a good ploy to do this once a week for each puck, just to reset any cache etc. 

I tend to do this once a week power reset for all my similar devices, like Smart TVs Chromecast, Roku etc.

@Super+Anthony if you press the home button when the "please wait" message is shown is that forcing it to then load the Home Screen?

 

I've seen this in the past (rarely) and when I press the home button again it all loads as expected.

 

Hopefully Sky can get to the bottom of it for you, or at least send a replacement puck and see if that helps.

Re: Please wait - blue screen

No nothing happens and it only happens like this the first time I start it in the day. I love stream though, better than Q

I have emailed Sky and have spoken to them on this and they been very helpful. I hope they can send me a new one

@MarkGoldsmith I spoke to a helpful individual and even though it's happened daily, I need to monitor it for another week. It was mentioned that everything is running properly!!

Re: Please wait - blue screen

@MarkGoldsmith Thank you for the advice. Yes that worked this morning. As you mentioned I just pressed the home button twice. But is this not good for the system if it's trying to do an update or something?

@Super+Anthony  Your post has been moved to Sky Stream, as you posted in that section previously, the What's on forum isn;t the correct place for this type of query.

 

Have you checked the settings on the puck menu?

 

Settings --> Startup and standby --> Networked standby mod = On

 

Overnight power saving = Off

@Super+Anthony  How is the puck connecting to the router/hub?

That should not happen on WiFi or Ethernet connection to the router😉
