No recordings main box, no signal mini box

My main sky Q box recordings says ' service not available' and mini box says ' no satellite signal'.

I have rebooted and reset both, checks show WiFi to hub is fine but I have very limited service

Hi @Preston+j 

Looks like you hard hard drive failure.

Ordering a new Q box usually means a doorstep swap.
Don’t forget to keep your viewing card from the failed box if you order a replacement.
