New Sky Q Box, questions??
Hi
I previously had a Sky Q 2TB HDR Box, connected to my Panasonic TX65JZ2000B TV.
I've just had my Sky Q Box replaced. It's 2TB. If I press Home and then go to, Settings>Setup>Audio Visual, I can set the Picture Resolution to 2160p UHD 10-Bit.
How do I know it's a HDR Box? Apologies I can't remember.
I've also done a Software Update, the version is Q220.000.23.00L. I'm sure that my previous SkQ Box was Q230 Software Version.
Thanks in Advance
Barry 🙂

Check :
Home - Settings - System Info - Hardware Version
If 32B0xxx is it is UHD but not HDR, if 32B1xxx or 32B2xxx it is HDR capable
BTW Q230 is mid roll out - some boxes have it but many are still on Q220 with no option to manually update to Q230 at the moment

Hi @Barry+Mc+Kelvey If your signature is correct, then you have the latest HDR box.

Hi
Thanks for your quick response. I've checked and my Sky Q Box is 32B106.
Ah ok, I'd not realised Q230 was still mid roll out. Hopefully it will be on the DR Stream soon 🙂
Thanks
Barry 🙂

Hi
I've not had a chance to update my signature. I only got the new Sky Q Box an hour ago.
I'll update my signature a bit later on, thanks 🙂
Thanks

Hi
I've update my signature now. I thought, I might as well update it while I'm on here 🙂
I keep forgetting, if I want to reply to someone and quote their post, what do I need to do again? Press the quote marks, and then reply?
Thanks in Advance

hi @Barry+Mc+Kelvey above the text edit window you should see various icons.
To Quote a reply use the double apostrophe symbol
Just to tag someone type the @ sign & the first few letters & it should list those you want to tag

Re: New Sky Q Box, questions??
Hi
I've another question.
I had all of my Sky Q Boxes replaced, Sky offered to replace all five of them, so I wasn't going to complain.
A the previous Sky Q Mini in the living room, my parents had two Sky Q Remotes setup, to control the TV and the Sky Q Mini. Don't ask, they just wanted their own controller lol.
Anyway, since getting the Sky Q Mini Box replaced today, I can't setup two Sky Q Remotes. If I setup one, the other stops working.
Anyone know how I can resolves this, as it worked before on the previous Sky Q Mini.
Thanks in Advance
Barry 🙂

it can be done but a bit fiddly.
Only one can be bluetooth - the other must be set to IR but after pairing with the TV
So 1st pair the one you are going to use as IR - when paired ,
Press & hold 4 & 6 to set to IR only
Then re-pair the one to be used in bluetooth mode (& can use voice control)

Re: New Sky Q Box, questions??
That code suggests you have a 2TB box that is HDR capable.

Re: New Sky Q Box, questions??
So, if it's arrived yet, what is the hardware version number of the new box (then check the table I posted the image of)?
