Re: Black screen
Is the TV on? And selected the correct HDMI input?

Hi @Ce15
First make sure that the Television is switched on and is switched to the HDMI input to which the Q box is connected.
Then with the Q box switched on with green led illuminated
Press
Home 1 0 8 0 Home
on the Q box remote control.
This will change the Q box to standard resolution which should work for all TV’s.

Re: Black screen
Yes of course I had the tv on, and on the correct hdmi channel and I followed all troubleshooting options online and on the app. I fear I need an engineer but they do not work weekends

Yes of course I had. It was on and working today it went to standby mode due to inactivity and when I pressed it back on, the light turned green but the screen stayed black. Very odd.

Re: Black screen
Try power cycling the Sky box.
