New Sky Q box - existing mini box has stopped working
The hard drive on my old Sky Q box corrupted and I got a new one which is working fine. However, I cannot now connect to my mini box in the bedroom. The message I got is as follows:-
Your Sky Q Mini box has not been able to connect to the activation server.
There may be a temporary issue with the activation server.
Please try again later,
ERROR: MR106
Can anyone offer advice on how to fix please?

@RickM63 Have you tried rebooting your main Q box ie
putting your box into Standby then switching it off at the wall for 30 seconds
switch it back on then follow the on screen instructions
then
reboot your Mini box
