Sky Q Box with Red light on. Has a mind of its own and seems to be stuck on the ‘ok’ button.

Sky turns on and works, however when watching something it's like someone has there finger on the 'ok' button bringing the information bar up constantly and making it impossible to do anything on sky.

it's not the remote as took the batteries out and still did this, and it's. It the TV as when we turn the sky box off am able to watch Netflix etc.

Hi @Paul82 


Try a Reset Settings in the Q box hidden menu.
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.

Thanks for the reply.

I have done this, all recordings wiped etc but after about 2 minutes back to having a mind of its own 🙃
