It's hot enough that you can feel the heat through the wooden cabinet shelf above it. We've turned the power off for now.</P> Fri, 24 Jan 2025 09:51:53 GMT Gareth369 2025-01-24T09:51:53Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/Overheating-Sky-Q-box-in-standby/m-p/4891047#M685058 <P>Hi, our Sky Q box, which is several years old now is hot to the touch in standby.
