Sky main event bad quality

My sky sports main event has a poor quality picture and sound since Friday night. Other sky sports channels are fine

Any on-screen error message.?

I'm also watching Forest v Liverpool, albeit on my mini box in HD and the picture is fine for me.

Watching the same. The picture is fuzzy and the commentary is a second behind. I don't have any message about fault or error

No picture or sound issues here.

Perhaps at half time, if you haven’t done it already, it may be worth rebooting the main Sky Q box, then once that’s back up and running do the same with any mini boxes if applicable -
~ 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

Allow 5-10 minutes before things hopefully revert back to normal.
