Interference from second Sky Q box

When I switch on my Samsung tv and the sky q box, in the left hand corner of the tv it has ATV and the channels are counting up of their own accord. I cannot do anything to get rid of the ATV.

Hi @Amanda220869

Looks like your Samsung TV is not switched to the correct HDMI input for your Q box.

If your Sky Q remote is correctly paired to your TV you can use your Q remote to cycle through the Television inputs by pressing the input select button on the Q rrmote.

Failing this you will need to use your Samsung TV temote to select the correct HDMI input.

ATV sounds like maybe the TV is stuck in some kind of analogue mode? (Depending on the age/model of the TV it may have both DTV and ATV options.) My suggestion would be to first try disconnecting the sky box, power off the TV for 5 minutes and then switch back on to see if the TV is working normally then reconnect the sky box. (In pc parlance a "soft" reset)

If that doesn't work I'd then look to reset the the TV to factory settings (have a look in the TV's settings menus - for my Samsung reset is in the General section. If it asks for a code try 0000.) Then set up as a new TV.

Modern TVs are basically simple computers so can suffer in the same way on occasions.

What does "channels are counting up of their own accord" mean?
