    Late last week sky Ireland launched their new sky buddy system. In doing this they updated the firmware on the sky Q routers. Now because of this sky Ireland customers cannot use 3rd party DNS severs. This issue happened in the the UK in April and a workaround was found (they will downgrade the router firmware to a previous version) Sky Ireland has said that they do not have the technology to do this?? anyone else here having this issue ???

    You should try asking Sky Ireland here on boards or post in the Broadband forum. Your post will likely get the response you are looking for there.
