Blank screen and following reset, box not switching back on.
Over today we have got a blank screen when changing channels. Then I've reset the box, it won't switch back on. I've completed a reset / software update. It took ages but switched on. Then seemed to take ages getting back the TV guide and recordings. Pressed play on a recording, and got a blank screen again.

hi @KL76
Have you tried Reset Settings in the Q box hidden menu.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
Only Carry out the first Reset (Reset Settings) as the other two will wipe all recordings.
After the Reset you will have to re pair your Bluetooth remote If you use one.
If you cannot switch the Q box on with the remote after the Reset press the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the box.
To re pair the remote press 1 & 3 together on the remote and follow onscreen instructions to re pair.
Make sure that you are pointing the remote at the Q box when you press 1 & 3 together.
Resetting the settings will also reset:
Audio visual settings, such as picture resolution and HDMI control
Settings changed within the hidden engineer menu, include LNB type. If on a communal dish you need to reset the LNB to SCR in the hidden menu. After changing the LNB type you need to reboot the Q box.

Re: Blank screen and following reset, box not switching back on.
I spoke with sky, box was showing as faulty. I had a new box delivered today. Now all working fine.
Thank you for your replies. Very helpful.
