Sky Q box faulty
Our sky Q box keeps freezing and sometimes shows a technical fault message. When changing channels it takes ages to lock onto the channel also when deleting recorded programs it sometimes takes forever. I have tried powering down the box and also full reset but it is still the same until last night we could not get any programs at all. I believe we need a replacement box

Re: Sky Q box faulty
I did the top one first a few days ago and it didn't make any difference so I went to try the other resets last night and this morning but the screen is just blue saying technical fault and I can't get it into the reset mode
