Hello, if the screen is going black there are multiple reasons. Let’s dive into some potential fixes:
For your Sky Q box, under settings, confirm the signal service received on your Sky box. You should have a tick against Satellite signal.
Try setting your Sky box output resolution to HD. Then you can investigate further by inspecting the audio/visual settings on the Sky Q box. Make sure the Sky box output resolution and color depth is supported by your TV.
Check your physical HDMI connection is OK. Some TVs support a diagnostic of the current HDMI port in use. Otherwise, physically check the HDMI cables and satellite cables are secure.
Sometimes, HDMI reliability issues can be resolved by turning off the TV’s quick start function. After changing that setting, restart the TV.
