BBC Iplayer sign-in code
When I try to sign in to the BBC iplayer app on my Sky Q box it will not generate a code or QR code for the iplayer sign-in site. It just sits with a spinning circle.
I have tried the following with no success:
Reset by holding power button
Reset by disconnecting power
All 3 resets in the hidden settings menu
App refresh from the hidden menu

Re: BBC Iplayer sign-in code
Initially I got the reply I was expecting - get in touch with Sky, it's their problem.
To be fair, after I replied to that message they have asked for more info to help investigate the problem. I'll update if I get any further.

Re: BBC Iplayer sign-in code
The problem resolved itself when I upgraded my router from the small mobile broadband router supplied by EE to a larger 4g router from TP-Link.

Re: BBC Iplayer sign-in code
Thank you for your reply. I have just switched to a 4G EE mobile router. But the tv was still connected to BT Broadband when this happened...
