Started a new free upgrade to fibre , so a openreach engineer came to the house , he installed everything he could on the inside , but could connect due to another contractor having to connect to the external of the house . So he left the old router working so we could watch tv and have internet connection. The new router was connected but not properly working due to other contractor . The SKY Q BOX has lost its saved recordings and I can't record anything. Can anyone help

Changing the ISP would have no direct impact on the Q (Where the primary source is satellite dish).
Sounds like your hard drive has failed? https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-q-hard-drive-errors
