Record light remains on when not recording anything and can not pause or rewind TV.

Have you downloaded a programme which has become stuck? If so stop it and completely delete it.

No we are not recording anything at all. We have just checked.

We have lost all our recordings and can no longer pause and rewind TV

@Sonya37

Have you tried rebooting the box?

Do the main Sky Q box, then once that’s back up and running do the same with any mini boxes if necessary-
~ Using the remote put your main Sky Q box into standby
~ switch the box off at the plug
~ wait at least 30 seconds and then switch the box back on at the plug
~ follow the on screen instructions
~ when the screen goes blank and the blue Q stops pulsating wait another 30 seconds
~ press the 🏠 button

I have just done this thank you. It now says when I try to pause the TV there is a problem with the hard disk drive.

Hi @Sonya37

Work through the following link

If you have to order a new Q box this usually means a doorstep swap.
Don’t forget to keep your viewing card from the failed box if you order a replacement.
Also if the box you are replacing is a 2TB there are two versions of power supply. One has a standard C7 (figure of eight) power lead socket in the back of the Q box. The other has a separate power supply. Although this still has the C7 power lead into the power supply there is a multi pin Din power socket in the Q box for connecting the power supply. Make sure that the replacement box has the power supply included if the Q box has the orange coded multi pin din socket in the back of the Q box. See below.
