I got sky q in 2 weeks ago I have never been able to use sky go to remotely record as sky have not taken off my old Sky hd box off my account so every time I try the signal goes to old sky box . 9 hours on the phone and still no help! It's so frustrating as months ago they took this box off my account so could not use sky hd box without telling me . I upgrade to sky q and they add it back on again so is causing issues. I am fed up!!

It is the viewing card and it's number that is important so if the viewing card number is correct for the one you have in your Sky Q box then you should be able to set a recording no matter if it wrongly says you have a Sky+ box.

You're talking about remote record I assume, the app tries to send the command to your old box to record?

Ok I've escalated this question to the Sky online team. You should see a coloured chat bubble when they respond.

@Chodley has escalated this to Sky and their Messaging Team should contact you later.
You need to watch out for a post from one of the team inviting you to a private chat and then you should see a blue/red speech bubble at the bottom of your forum page. You’ll have 48 hours to click on it and start the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to a chat reply within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread fairly regularly.
This link explains what happens.

There should be a blue & red speech bubble in the bottom corner or your forum page.

I just went to check mine for comparison and can't find that. Is it under "Sky Q Remote"?
Did you chat to the Sky online team, as per above?

Sky q
I have issues with my account having wrong viewing card number on account . Not being able to use sky go to remotely record. Spent hours on the phone to agents . In the end went on old sky + app and activated remote recording when outside via sky go . Even though I have sky q. If you ever need a sky q replacement viewing card is it the same number?
My account still wrong been nearly 3 weeks !
