What suggestions have you tried? If you're more specific then it's possible to offer advice.

For all the late comers 🙂
If it's easier for you, points 1 to 6 amount to the following:-
Go to your account online through a browser and sign in if necessary, from your portrait/avatar, go to 'Account', then 'Devices', then 'Access and Devices' and then sign out of all Sky devices listed.
The direct web address is:- netflix.com/manageaccountaccess which can be copy & pasted into your browser.
Don't forget to reboot the Q boxes after the above.
You can use the app on a smartphone to sign out of devices also.

Hi
Having completed the actions as suggested multiple times I have come to the conclusion that this is a waste of time as access to Netflix only works once or twice then it's back to the spinning circle.
In the absense of a permanent fix I have resurrected my old Amazon Firestick and now use this for Netflix viewing at least I can access every time!!!!
Regards
A
