Blinking red light on sky q box

[phil.corke]

Good evening. I have a flashing red light on my sky q box. I have tried unplugging, pressing the standby while re-powering up. I saw a previous post to say this happened on a normal sky box and it was suggested the pcb had blown. Is this the same as on a q box?

Resolved now, spoke to Sky and they have replaced the box. Seems like it is a known issue.

@dave14268 Afraid you are not contacting Sky's customer services on here, this is a customer to customer forum where customers help each other.

I would advise against cancelling your direct debit all it will do is cause more problems for you and could damage your credit rating or have debt collectors contacting you 

I have escalated this to sky

You may receive an email or a private message inviting you to have a private conversation on the Community with a Sky Expert.

Look out for a chat bubble at the bottom of your screen inviting you to a chat
If you are using the Safari browser please make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the chat bubble. If you are having trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Firefox, Chrome etc.
