Ours has dropped out several times in the last hour or so, a few other people in our area have reported on Facebook but also some Scotland(long way from us)!

Yup all over social media and news websites. Tens of thousands reporting the same problem.

bumblenbean · 15/05/2025 23:14

Yes! Mine has cut out three times this evening, have now given up. I’m in South East.

MrsWilliamMorseCode · 15/05/2025 23:14

Yes! Our Sky box has gone blank 3 times in the past hour

InglouriousBasterd · 15/05/2025 23:15

Same, and during Eurovision to my fury! Given up and turned it off now.

Rinoachicken · 15/05/2025 23:15

It’s a national outage - over 30,000 reports but no word from Sky. App and website also not working.

MrsWilliamMorseCode · 15/05/2025 23:15

Another cyber attack? 🤔

TinyTempest · 15/05/2025 23:16

Same here in London

Hettyhopeless · 15/05/2025 23:17

oh thank goodness - it’s not just me. Ours cut out 3 times this evening.

LoafofSellotape · 15/05/2025 23:17

Same here,bloody annoying!

WhateverTheWeather22 · 15/05/2025 23:18

Ah THIS explains why my sky tv keeps dropping out. It’s been so annoying and we had no idea why.
we are in the SE

DramaAlpaca · 15/05/2025 23:19

Same here, I'm in Ireland so it's not just affecting the UK.

MrsWilliamMorseCode · 15/05/2025 23:21

It's just happened again!

Icequeen01 · 15/05/2025 23:22

Yes we have the same problem. Gave up and went to bed!

EndlesslyDecluttering · 15/05/2025 23:29

Us too, DD said she couldn't get any apps to work on it this afternoon and it got worse and worse all evening.

lavendarwillow · 15/05/2025 23:33

Same here, we’ve turned it on and off and tried to reset but obviously a nationwide issue. I wonder how many people have done a hard reset and lost their recordings in the process!

lavendarwillow · 15/05/2025 23:34

It’s very worrying all these ‘outages’ all of a sudden. Wasn’t London transport affected earlier this week?

OverpricedCupcake · 15/05/2025 23:34

Mine too in Scotland

tapdancingmum · 15/05/2025 23:36

I thought the hamster had finally chewed through the cable so got a bit cheesed off and put her away 🙄 . Took a while for it to come back on again when it went off for the second time. We were trying to watch the playoffs and it came back just in time for the goal (wrong team)..... Football finished and I turned over for it to go off again which is when I found the posts from everyone else so apologised to the hamster and went into the other room to watch the news on Freeview.

I'm sure it did the same the other day as well.

roodlesnoodles · 15/05/2025 23:36

Thank god for this thread! It’s been driving me crazy! I’ve been turning the bastard thing on and off for the past hour!

Juiceinacup · 15/05/2025 23:36

Me as well in Scotland

TennisLady · 15/05/2025 23:38

Ah assumed ours was on the blink or something! Very annoying.

LittleGreenDragons · 15/05/2025 23:48

It's in the news as being down. The Sun, Mirror and DM are all reporting it.

GinToBegin · 15/05/2025 23:58

Thanks OP… ours did it twice, I had already turned it off at the wall for the night (flashbacks to working with computers in the 90s) but useful to know it’s a wider problem.

Game0fCrones · 16/05/2025 00:03

Glad its not just me. I thought it was the Wi-Fi.

Midlands.

Sky being glitchy "worrying"?

It's a very minor inconvenience at most.
