Sky Q Box Keeps Crashing
As the title says, our main Q box keeps crashing, the fan spins up at full speed, we then get the blue screen of death and the box reboots.
It was doing this once or twice a week, then it started getting worse, now it does it 2 or 3 times a day.
This obviously messes up the recordings.
If it does this during the night, the Mini box in our bedroom loses it connection. This can need the main box to be power cycled.

I have an outstanding issue with my Q Box crashing
Following on from my previous conversation with an expert my Q box is still failing.
These are reboots I caught, it also did it twice this morning.
