My Sky Q has TV has been freezing. I get a message on the mini q box saying the signal network.
I unplug the main sky box and reboot. It then happens again. We have to the box off at least three times. Sometimes it works but then won't turn channel.

Hi @Mark173
Try resetting the Network connection.
If on Sky broadband first reset your broadband router by holding Reset on the back until the power light flashes green (about 10 seconds). Don't unplug or switch off your router while it resets. The power light will go green when it's done.
If on 3rd party broadband and your router does not have a reset button, reboot it by disconnecting the power lead for 30 secs and then reconnecting.
Wait until the router is completely back and running and then try a Network Reset found in Q box Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Follow instructions to connect by WiFi to your router. Even if reset is not listed there is still an option to connect by WiFi to Sky or 3rd party router
If you are on Sky Broadband you will be asked to press the WPS button on the Sky router. (Not on the Q box as the Network reset will start the main Q box WPS automatically). Make sure you press the WPS button on the Sky router and not the reset button.
if you are on 3rd party (non Sky ) broadband then you need to enter the SSID and password for the router 2.4 Ghz WiFi band.

Thanks for your help. I've done as you've explained. We'll see if it does it again.

Looks like I'm back to resetting again. How do I get an engineer out to check everything?
