New skyq box

Hi I have a new skyq box as the one I previously had stopped working,the old one I just had to turn on and it would automatically connect to hdmi2 port but now when I turn on with the new box it will randomly switch to hdmi1 so I have to either use the tv remote to change back to hdmi2 or turn the box off with the skyq remote and turn on again I have a ps4 console connected to hdmi3 I have a sony android tv kd55xe8396 is there something I need to do so when I turn the skyq box on it connects to hdmi2 straight away rather than connecting to hdmi1 randomly thanks

hi @pennydreadful 

 

CHeck the setting in :

Home - Settings -  Setup - Audio Visual - HDMI Control 

It should be set on which should trigger the TV to use the correct HDMI port

 

BTW providing your SKY Q remote is paired you shouldn't need to use the TV remote as the SKY remote has a 'Source' button - on the newer voice remotes it is the Top Right Button (A slight eliptical rectangle with arrow pointing in from the left)

You need to turn the hdmi control setting on the Sky q box to on
Go to Home>settings>setup>audio visual>hdmi control

As @lettice says but with a new box it is usually on by default.

Re: New skyq box

My remote is allowing me to get the HDMI cable for my playstation but it wants me to click OK and I cannot find the OK button on my remote.

Can anyone help?

hi @Sueby67 

 

If the TV does need an OK press rather than just timing out when the option is selected then unfortunately you will need to use the TV's wn remote - the SKY Remote does not have  that function for TVs
