SkyQ box gone very very slow

In the past week, my SkyQ box has become very very slow and practically unusable! Choosing anything from the menu like recordings or movies takes forever to load, if at all! Have tried a restart and a reset but still the same!

If a restart isn't clearing it then the box may be about the fail.  (Hard disk retrying for example)

 

You'll need to call Sky for a replacement.  (All recordings will be lost)

  • It appears you need a replacement box.
  • I expect someone will escalate your post again soon, if not call Sky.
Passing on the tips I have learned in over 24 years as a more than satisfied Sky customer.

Re: SkyQ box gone very very slow

I have noticed that my box slows down when the broadband speeds drops. If I go to settings and check the network connection it Cycles between ticked OK  and crossed.

Re: SkyQ box gone very very slow

Sky Q box has gone very slow. I have reset a number of times but no change. Currently can't get Netflix to work. Constant message saying problem with Internet connection but both ticks showing and no issues with the Internet on laptops. Can someone escalate this and help please.
