Sky TV is 'DOWN': More than 30,000 people report issues with television
Sky has tonight suffered an outage with more than 30,000 people reporting issues with their broadband and television.
Tens of thousands of customers have reported problems on DownDetector since 9.20pm.
Users say they have no signal on their television and are having to shut down their Sky Q boxes, while others are having issues with their internet.
Several disgruntled customers took to X to complain about not being able to access the internet or watch TV.
One person wrote: 'What's going on with #SkyTV ? It's crashed twice. Seems others are reporting the same.'
Another asked: 'What is going on once again? Sky keeps crashing. Internet on and off. Always on a Thursday when darts is on as well.'
They added: 'Sort it out.'
One Sky user said it was total blackout on her television as she was greeted with the message 'please wait while we load your programme' before it shut down.

'Same with all channel including BBC/ ITV all of them what is going on?,' she asked.
It left others fuming with one saying it was an 'absolute disgrace' that she had no Sky TV or internet, with the customer also reporting problems with the Sky app.
A Sky spokesperson said: 'We're sorry some customers had trouble accessing Sky Q last night. The issue was quickly resolved, and service has been restored.'
It comes after Virgin Media suffered a major outage in February that left customers unable to access the internet for six hours.
At the peak, more than 9,600 problems were logged on DownDetector.
Of those who reported problems, 72 per cent said they were struggling with landline internet, 18 per cent were experiencing a total blackout, while the remaining 11 per cent said the problem was with Virgin Media's website.
A Virgin Media spokesperson told MailOnline at the time: 'We have now fully restored services for all customers, following an earlier outage.
'We would like to apologise again to customers who were impacted for any inconvenience caused.'
Meanwhile, on Monday a major power outage brought almost half of London's public transport network to a halt.
Four Underground lines and the Elizabeth line were suspended while 20 stations were shut after a cable fault in South West London ahead of afternoon rush hour.
Transport bosses say a 'contained fire' was also caused by the outage at an electrical substation in the Cunningham Place and Aberdeen Place area in Maida Vale, which required emergency services to put it out.
It is understood three metres of high-voltage cabling were destroyed and hundreds of businesses south of Oxford Street have been affected, with power not set to return until after 6pm.
Claire Mann, TfL's Chief Operating Officer, said: 'Due to a brief interruption of the power supply to our network, several lines lost power for a short period earlier this afternoon.
'We apologise to customers whose journeys will have been affected. We are working to get the whole network up and running again as quickly as possible.'
London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan issued a apology to commuters the next day before saying that 'decades of underinvestment have led to these sorts of problems'.
While the cause of the outage remained a mystery, it came amid concerns over power supplies in Britain and whether Russian agents could sabotage the network.
