New sky q mini box that has lots of issues

Since getting new sky mini box and sky w - I've had lots of issues. The current issue is no satellite signal on mini box. Yet it's all connected with the main box and internet. I've never had signal on about 15 channels but now on all channels. I've reset restarted downloaded software on both boxes and still there are issues.  What am I doing wrong?

@Juliegilderthorp 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

Re: New sky q mini box that has lots of issues

Hi

Thank you.  It's worked.   Is it something that needs doing regularly?  X

Re: New sky q mini box that has lots of issues

Mini box has reverted back to Satelitte issues again, so although I have tv guide visible and can use apps and recordings, there is no live tv.

Have I had my original boxes swapped for faulty ones?

Thanks for any help

Julie

Re: New sky q mini box that has lots of issues

  1. Hi.  I never got an invite.  Where would I find that?  I find rebooting main and midi boxes every time I turn on, seems to work.  Just a pain to keep doing it.  Thanks Julie
