Using SkyQ. TV switches into standby after ad breaks.

We have a SkyQ box. Over the last year we have found that our Panasonic tv keeps shutting down and going into standby. We've been having this problem more frequently recently (sometimes 5 or 6 times in one evening) and have realised that it happens straight after an ad break, just before cutting back to the programme we are watching. We have to switch the tv off and then back on again. Nothing else works. Before I submit myself to the Sky automated system does anyone have any ideas on this one? Thanks

Hi there. I've just checked back on a little video that I took of the problem occurring, and yes the green light stays on on the SkyQ box.

@Lizbeth66 thats strange then as it kinda points to the TV do you have another TV you could try on the box to see if it still does it on a second TV ?

Unfortunately we are a one tv family apart from the very old kitchen tv that won't support Sky! I suppose we could try disconnecting the sky box and running the tv on the digital signal only to see if the same thing happens?
