My sky device is not recording or letting me view my previous recordings

My sky device Q is not recording or allowing me to access my previous recordings. I also can view Sky Cinema as a message keeping coming as technical issues with my device. This has been happening since the beginning of May 2024. I pay premium for Sky full services and yet not getting the services. Very disappointed and unhappy and seriously considering cancelling Sky altogether..

Assume you have been on to Sky about this @Byola 

What was their response

Afraid you are not contacting Sky directly here as this is a customer forum.
If you need to contact them you need to persevere by phone.

Regarding your issue it may be a problem with your Hard drive

If you have to order a new Q box this usually means a doorstep swap.
Don’t forget to keep your viewing card from the failed box if you order a replacement.
Also if the box you are replacing is a 2TB there are two versions of power supply. One has a standard C7 (figure of eight) power lead socket in the back of the Q box. The other has a separate power supply. Although this still has the C7 power lead into the power supply there is a multi pin Din power socket in the Q box for connecting the power supply. Make sure that the replacement box has the power supply included if the Q box has the orange coded multi pin din socket in the back of the Q box.
