Different menus

Is anyone else's menus different on their main sky Q box and the mini box? 
On the main box it's like the picture below. 
But on the mini box the delete button, etc is in the right hand side

Hi @Shellc83 

First thing to do is a Software Update to make sure the box is on the latest Software.
Home - settings - System info - Highlght Software version and then select Setup and then select Update this box with latest Software.
Any Q box (including minis) may require a manual software update at times.

@Shellc83 I agree with @nigea99 that looks like your mini box is on a very old version of the software as Sky havent had the menu option at the right hand side for years

Re: Different menus

All sorted!

Thank you so much. 
It's weird really why it had the old software as it was only installed 2 weeks ago

Hi @Shellc83   That is the reason why it was still on an old software version. It needed updating from the manufacture version.
