Issue with sky q box going blank and issue with apps on both sky q and mini box
I kept getting an issue when my sky q box just won't work the screen goes black and I can't press anything or do anything on my sky q box.
I also have an issue with the apps on both my sky q box and mini box they either won't load at all or just constantly buffer. I've refreshed my apps but it's still not working correctly.
Also my downloads take forever it took 5 hours to download a 30 minute episode.

Hi @Jclayton
Try a Reset Settings in the Q box hidden menu.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
Only Carry out the first Reset (Reset Settings) as the other two will wipe all recordings.
After the Reset you will have to re pair your Bluetooth remote If you use one.
If you cannot switch the Q box on with the remote after the Reset press the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the box.
To re pair the remote press 1 & 3 together on the remote and follow onscreen instructions to re pair.
Make sure that you are pointing the remote at the Q box when you press 1 & 3 together.
Resetting the settings will also reset:
Audio visual settings, such as picture resolution and HDMI control
Settings changed within the hidden engineer menu, include LNB type. If on a communal dish you need to reset the LNB to SCR in the hidden menu. After changing the LNB type you need to reboot the Q box.
