If you are trying and failing to watch TV this morning, you are not alone. Sky has been having some major issues with its service which began affecting homes last night. At its peak, outage monitoring site Down Detector was showing over 30,000 reports of Sky having issues making this a major problem. Even this morning, there are still over 1,000 reports flooding in that the Sky is down.

It appears the gremlins are affecting Sky Q boxes with users seeing an error message about the Sky signal on the screen.

Plenty of people have now rushed to social media to complain about the problems.

One Sky user named Louise said on X (formerly Twitter): “Are you going to tell people what’s going on??? Sky tv has been down for at least 2hrs, and your website says no issues! Mine stays on for 10mins max, then disconnects from my tv.”

Another, Charlotte, added, “Is anyone’s Sky TV down? Sky goes off randomly when watching TV and then says something about signal.”

And Sky user Carl vented: “My sky Q box keeps on shutting down so you have to pull the power lead out for the box has to reboot, it’s happened 4x times now.”

Sky is yet to confirm the issues or when things will be fully fixed.
