Rebooting my main Q box daily, even sometimes twice? What's the issue, is it time for an update box?

Hi community, can someone tell me why my  Q box (main one) has to be rebooted at least once a day, sometimes twice.. Is this box dying and needs replacing?  Any advice appreciated. Sometimes it says no signal, then after reboot it's fine, but this shouldn't be happening daily or at least 3 or 4 times a week

Hi @EJ+Welch 

Try a Reset Settings in the Q box hidden menu. See if that improves the reliability.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
Only Carry out the first Reset (Reset Settings) as the other two will wipe all recordings.
After the Reset you will have to re pair your Bluetooth remote If you use one.
If you cannot switch the Q box on with the remote after the Reset press the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the box.
To re pair the remote press 1 & 3 together on the remote and follow onscreen instructions to re pair.

Make sure that you are pointing the remote at the Q box when you press 1 & 3 together.

Resetting the settings will also reset:

Audio visual settings, such as picture resolution and HDMI control
Settings changed within the hidden engineer menu, include LNB type. If on a communal dish you need to reset the LNB to SCR in the hidden menu. After changing the LNB type you need to reboot the Q box.

Kept having to reset box, missed / failed recordings eventually got a replacement box no problems since then, should have done it earlier
