Re: Picture blanking out
I have noticed this happens quite often on Discovery owned channels (including Quest) after using pause/rewind/fastforward, especially around ad breaks. I suspect it's related to Sky Adsmart. Changing channel for a few seconds then going back to the affected channel fixes the problem.

Thanks John
If you are trying to cancel a Sky Q box replacement, you can't do that here.
or are you telling us you already cancelled it?
