Broadcast or signal failure during recording

All my recordings of the Chinese Grand Prix so far, have failed due to broadcast failure or no signal. I have it set to record the series on my Sky Q box. We've had no winds, or bad weather and as they were recorded at 4am I'm assuming it's not due to peak usage in my area. Just getting annoyed at paying for the F1 channel and not being able to record anything.

@Lesley7407 I know this is no use to you but mine recorded fine both in UHD and in HD so it might just be specific to your box. Have you tried rebooting your main Q box ie
putting your box into Standby then switching it off at the wall for 30 seconds
switch it back on then follow the on screen instructions

Remember to remove your viewing card from the faulty box before the doorstep box swap takes place which is unfortunately a common mistake.
