Cannot download from Sky Cinema - keeps telling download failed no Subsc

Have been having this issue for some time now.  I cannot seem to download movies from SKY Cinema - keeps telling me "Download failed No Subscription" which is not correct as I have subscribed and paid up.  
Very frustrated !!

hi @ORLA9 

HD is standard on Sky Cinema but If you want to use SD best to change your Download preference to SD in Home - Settings - Setup - Preferences.
This needs to be done on the main Q box.

Actuall, Can watch no problem when you just switch to the channel, however if I want to watch from the start and download begins, it downloads 1%, and fails after that ! 
Disk space is fine also.

Hi @ORLA9 

That would seem to be an internet connection issue.

Maybe worth trying a reconnection of your Q box.

First reset your broadband router.
If on Sky broadband hold the Reset on the back of the router until the power light flashes green (about 10 seconds). Don't unplug or switch off your router while it resets. The power light will go green when it's done.
If on 3rd party broadband and your router does not have a reset button, reboot it by disconnecting the power lead for 30 secs and then reconnecting.
Wait until the router is completely back and running and then try a Network Reset found in Q box Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Follow instructions to connect by WiFi to your router. Even if reset is not listed there is still an option to connect by WiFi to Sky or 3rd party router
If you are on Sky Broadband you will be asked to press the WPS button on the Sky router. (Not on the Q box as the Network reset will start the main Q box WPS automatically). Make sure you press the WPS button on the Sky router and not the reset button.
if you are on 3rd party (non Sky ) broadband then you need to enter the SSID and password for the router 2.4 Ghz WiFi band.
