My sky q box was replaced and I set it up on Saturday with no problems. Yesterday I went to watch on my mini box but I got the message there was a problem connecting to my sky q box. I followed the online help but nothing worked, I can't remember the exact message I got so I switched it off and today went to try again. Now I only get the message of No Signal, so I switched it off again along with my Sky q box and it still won't work, it's not even going onto the blue sky screen, should I have done something when I set up my main box, I wasn't to.d to do anything and I never asked as it was the sky q box that was the problem.

@Karen1312 try the following...
Unpair their Sky Q remote from the box by holding 4&6
Wait for the remote to flash you should then be able to dismiss the information screen by clicking on Skip & set up later
Hold 1&3 to repair the remote control
If 4&6 does not allow you to clear the information screen, try holding 7&9 to reset the Sky Q remote then hold 1&3 and follow the on-screen setup journey to allow the remote to control your TV.
