I have the same issue, happening every few minutes, reinserting card or restarting SKY Q box makes no difference. Works for few minutes then reoccurs.

Hope it's fixed sooner rather than later.
Would be appreciated if Sky could announce the problem and keep customer's of when they expect the problem tp be fixed.
Just a thought but Sky have been in my area for a few week's installing what look like big black cannister's with many wire's attached..maybe this is connected to the issue's we are having

Viewing card
On at least 4 occasions this morning I have received on screen message - ensure correct viewing card is inserted with gold chip facing up. Despite carrying out the recommended procedure the problem returns . On 2 occasions it has started working again without me doing anything but it goes off again after a few minute

Re: Sky Q box Crashing as of 6th Oct - Has another dodgy update happened?
Sky are aware. So how long to fix it? That's 5hrs and counting. Are we going to get another outdated free movie as recompense

Viewing card in skyQ box
Subscription channels persistently going off line and requesting sky card be correctly inserted. Have followed all directions but still happening.

So Sky are aware of the problem and have switched off all the phone support lines presumably because swamped with calls, but the Sky online Service Checker page reports no errors and SkyQ service "looks good" !
Poor

It clears the message, doesn't resolve the issue though, which occures again. When you google Sky issues there's nothing to indicate this, only from past experience I know to check here
