@janley 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


I may be a Sky Superuser but I am still just a Sky customer

*I think this needs moved to the sky + forum then. 

Additionally, you may need to access the engineers menu to 'hard reset' those boxes - from memory years ago. 

Settings - press 001 and then you can access that menu to scroll - can't remember off my head - to an area within there to format your hard drive to have it as if new again. 

This will remove all recorded programs and will bring your box back to a clean slate.
