Picture/ skyQ goes into pause mode without it being selected on the remote

My sky Q has started to go into pause and the screen freezes without the remote being used.

This only happens on certain stations in particular Discovery . This only happens during adverts.

Any advice appreciated.

It sounds like it's happening to you on content streamed via the apps on Q, not during satellite broadcasts. All Discovery content comes via the app, not via a channel/station. 

It's not uncommon unfortunately. Sky's implementation of adverts on streamed content is not very good and can often cause glitches due to the apps being hosted on a server and the added latency this introduces. Coupled with the lack of processing power on the Q box, it's quite hit and miss I'm afraid. 

Give your Q box a reboot (turn off at the wall for a minute then back on) and see if that improves things in any way.
