Sky Q TV screen goes black then comes back on the Sky Q box switches itself to standby mode
Hi
I'm having problems with TV and not sure whether the TV is at fault or the SKY Q box or the connection between the two. I tried using a new HDMI cable but this didn't solve the problem. The SKY Q box is still recording programmes. My TV is about 4 years old. I don't want to get a new TV if that is not the problem. Has anyone had anything similar please? Thank you

Hi @sandra+e
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.
