Services not working

All of a sudden some of the services have stopped working. The recordings constantly say 'Please wait' and won't load and catch up tv says 'we are having trouble reaching this service right now. Please try again later.' 

I have tried resetting the box, the box is connected to the Internet and the software is the most up to date. Not sure what to do next. Any help appreciated.

@Maz202384 You could try resetting the settings in the Q boxes hidden menu.
To enter the hidden menu press the home button and scroll down to settings but do not select settings.
With settings highlighted press 0 0 1
Only Carry out the first Reset being Reset Settings as the others will wipe all recordings.
After the reset you will have to re-pair your remote assuming you are using a bluetooth remote by pressing 1 and 3 together on the remote

Re: Services not working

@Laing1 thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that didn't work and I've tried twice now. Anything else you suggest I try? Thanks
