Paramount+ freezing on Sky Q mini box
for the last couple of weeks or so Paramount plus has become almost unwatchable due to the constant freezing on the Sky Q mini box. when it happens I have to come out of the app and go back in sometimes this work sometimes it doesn't, it might work for a couple of minutes. I end up giving up watching. I then have to find something else to look at which is disappointing when I was wanting to watch something on Paramount plus.
I have checked other apps and channels and everything is fine. I have checked Internet and that is fine in fact we just got upgraded to superfast broadband.
This only happens on the Sky Q mini box. I think I've tried all the fixes I tried unplugging both boxes and waiting and resetting. Not sure what else I should do to get this working
there was a suggestion that maybe I needed a Wi-Fi booster. Point tonight, when using this, I'm the only person online

Did you try an apps refresh on the mini box?

You try an 'apps refresh' via the installer menu:
- From the Sky Q Mini Home screen navigate down to Settings in the left hand menu, but do not select Settings (i.e. click into it)
- With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 on your remote keypad and then click on the circular dot button in the middle of the 4 directional arrows on your remote to confirm
- Next, select Apps, then highlight Refresh all Apps on this box. You'll see a message that says, "Your apps are being refreshed" and this will stay on screen until you press Dismiss or Back on your remote to return to normal viewing. It’s recommended waiting at least 5 minutes before doing so
Note that an apps refresh can take up to 24 hrs to complete, so be patient 👍🏻
