How to stop main box for idling

HelenDun — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 14:09:07 GMT

Currently doing renovations and I don't have easy access to my main Skyq box. The secondary mini box keeps losing signal as the main box keeps going into an idle state. How do I stop this happening?

Could it be a connection problem between the main box and mini, has the main box been moved from its usual place while the renovations take place?

Sky Q boxes only go into an eco mode between 2:45-5:45am.

Covered in dust sheets or surrounded by paint tins?

If it wasn't doing this before, look for local physical changes, or something like 'noisy' electrical device use.

I'm not sure what you mean by "noisy" electrical devices. I'm now getting a. MR 106 error

The errors indicate that there is a signal issue between the main box and mini, if the box is still in the same place perhaps a booster (if any) has been unplugged or something is causing interference. If everything was working before the renovations then hopefully it will work again when they're complete.

Noisy as in they produce lots of EM interference. E.g. drill motors.
