when you switch it on do you get any lights coming on ?
does it do anything if you press and hold the reset button on the back until the red light on the front flashes

hi @Ian6661
Have you checked that the remote is working (replacing batteries if necessary) ?
To check press the ? button & the red led above the SKY logo button should flash
If the remote is working as above then:
May I suggest you try a reset of your remote:
Press & Hold the 7 & 9 until the remote's light (red LED above the SKY logo button) flashes 4 times
Then press 1 & 3 together to go through to re-pair with the box and your TV - make sure it has line of sight of the box as until it is paired it uses Infrared

Hi @Ian6661
Have you tried pressing the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the Q box.
If this turns the Q box on
With the Q box on with green led try completly resetting your Bluetooth remote.
Press and hold 7 & 9 together on the remote until it’s led flashes four times.
Then make sure that you are pointing your remote at the Q box and press 1 & 3 together until the led flashes and follow onscreen instructions to re- pair to TV.
