Have you tried rebooting the Q box ie
putting your box into Standby then switching it off at the wall for 30 seconds
switch it back on then follow the on screen instructions

Hi @SCG80 

If it is a Bluetooth remote (one with a Voice control microphone button) then make sure it is correctly paired to the Q box.

Try completly resetting your Bluetooth remote.
Press and hold 7 & 9 together on the remote until it’s led flashes four times.
Then make sure that you are pointing your remote at the Q box and press 1 & 3 together until the led flashes and follow onscreen instructions to re- pair.

Thank you but no that hasn't worked and I've just noticed the volume buttons don't work at all
