@Aria is this to download or watch on live TV ?

 

are you a new customer recently ?

 

if you are trying to download then Sky signature comes with Boxsets.in SD as standard you may be trying to download the programme in HD

The default download setting is HD so try changing the format to download in SD

you can change the default to SD by Pressing Home on your Sky Q remote and select Settings, then Setup.
Select Preferences, then 'On Demand default download format', and choose SD.

 

If it's live TV are you maybe trying to watch the HD version of the channel without the HD subscription

 

with the discovery + issue

Try the following

Follow the instructions you see onscreen when launching the Discovery+ app on your Q box

Select log in

You'll be taken to the screen with the activation code and a new URL link for Discovery which is https://auth.discoveryplus.com/gb/link you need to do this part on your mobile, tablet, laptop etc

Log on to your Discovery+ account

Enter the activation code - this will activate your Sky Q box/Sky Glass

Hi @Aria   I would guess that you don't have a Sky HD subscription and you are trying to watch in HD. If this is the case then try SD. Change your default download format to SD.
