The recording light is constantly on, What do I do to get it to switch off?

Assuming it is not downloading or recording @Lawrence

try a Q box reboot.

To reboot press Standby on your Sky Q remote (if the box responds to the remote), and then switch off and unplug at the mains.
Wait at least 30 secs and then Plug back in and switch your Sky Q box back on at the mains.
Wait for the on screen instructions to disappear and the front led to turn Amber. Then wait for 30 secs before you press Home on your Sky Q remote or if this is not working press the standby button on the front of the Q box (Amber led)

note: some features may take up to 5 minutes to return.

Had a similar problem the other day. Despite a reboot, the Red light was still on, but nothing showing as recording ?

I had to leave leave the house, so simply set it to series link record the current program on BBC1.

Pleasantly surprised to come home and find the red recording light not showing any more. Hope it works for you.
