Hi @Sarah2811 

If you also cannot make any new recordings then you may have a hard drive issue.

Work through the following link
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-q-hard-disk-error-messages
If you have to order a new Q box this usually means a doorstep swap.
Don’t forget to keep your viewing card from the failed box if you order a replacement.
Also if the box you are replacing is a 2TB there are two versions of power supply. One has a standard C7 (figure of eight) power lead socket in the back of the Q box. The other has a separate power supply. Although this still has the C7 power lead into the power supply there is a multi pin Din power socket in the Q box for connecting the power supply. Make sure that the replacement box has the power supply included if the Q box has the orange coded multi pin din socket in the back of the Q box. See below.

Thank you for your response.  The hard drive is not full and the box is only a few months old.  It just says service not available

That doesn't rule out a disk fault.  Recording on Sky Q is entirely local, and a wider Sky issue cannot affect it.

Can you make new recordings @Sarah2811 ??

I'm having very same issue. Not showing any recordings or anything scheduled to record. I also can't access any of the apps etc. 

I have reset my box. I have an engineer booked to come out towards end of month for our mini box. Will he take a look at main box too or do I need to go back to them and have them add that to my call out?

@MollyP1972 the engineer should sort all your boxes out whilst they are with you just explain to the engineer all the problems
