Hi @Rich1985

It's 0 0 1 then select.

Have you tried refreshing the Apps in the Hidden menu.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
Select Apps 
then highlight Refresh all Apps on this box.
You'll see a message that says, 'Your apps are being refreshed'. This will stay on screen until you press Dismiss to return to normal viewing
It’s recommended waiting at least 5 minutes before doing so.

Refresh Apps can take up to 24 hrs to complete .

Thanks both. Looks like I was missing the 'press select' part to get to the hidden menu. I'm just refreshing my apps now, hopefully this will fix my Netflix home page where the top 10 has disappeared from.

Afraid it will not @Rich1985

Reloading Netflix and or refresh Apps will not change the Q Netflix.

For some unknown reason the Q Netflix has different listings to the inbuilt Netflix on Smart TV's.

There is no Top 10 in Q Netflix. Also the menu layout is slightly different.

@oldfella That's strange, I could of sworn I used to have top 10 on Sky Q Netflix until recently when it disappeared?
It's weird that I don't have it anymore on the main box in the living room but I have 3 mini boxes in other rooms and the top 10 does appear on Netflix (through the Sky mini boxes) on each of them?

Hi @Rich1985

Not saying the Top 10 has not previously been on Q main box Netflix but only that it is not there now.

Just checked on a mini here and certainly there is the Top 10.

Main clue for me is the Netflix main Menu. This has definitely changed on the main Q box as Get help and Exit Netflix is now at the bottom left of the main menu where it was on the bottom right.

Cannot see this as a box issue as I'm seeing the same as you. Seems something has changed at Sky's end.

I've done that twice and both times I get message," there was a problem refreshing your apps. What now?

It's says it can take around 5 mins to refresh the apps. Do you have to stay on the page wile this is happening?

Mine does not give the option to dismiss. There is just a message saying your apps are being refreshed
