Sky Q Box randomly turning off

JulieR — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 09:50:58 GMT

Our Sky Q box has recently started randomly turning off. We have checked all the power saving settings and it doesn't seem to be any of those as we previously changed them when it used to turn off after a certain period of time.

Additionally, it does frequently lose the broadband connection and we have to type all the details back in.

We have had the box for a few years, is there anything we can try, or does the box need replacing? We looked at the software update settings and that seems to be automated now.

Hi @JulieR To me it sounds like your TV's powersave mode is activating, usually after a few hours of being on, if the TV turned itself off it would turn the SKYQ box off at the same time.

However there is usually a notification on your TV screen when this happens to press a button on the TV remote to stop it activating, of course if you are out of the room at the time you would not see it?

You can change the powersave mode in your TV's settings.
