Sky Q box keeps having technical fault
I had an issue like this before, when I try and watch sky sports it tells me there is a technical fault and won't play anything. Then it will come back. I was put through to an advisor before and they said to come back here if I experienced the same issue again as by the time I spoke to them last time everything was working again.

Try the troubleshooting on this link which should be relevant for Glass, Stream and Sky Q...

Re: Sky Q box keeps having technical fault
Thanks it happens frequently, I don't really think the answer to wait 5-10 mins and try again is acceptable especially when I'm trying to watch live sport.
I tried the troubleshoot but pressing 0,0,1 in setting didnt do anything so I went for a restart instead.
If it works, I suspect it will just be temporary and it will come back at a later point

Don't shoot the messenger. The Community, is predominantly made up of Sky customers helping other Sky customers. You aren’t talking to Sky by posting here.

Re: Sky Q box keeps having technical fault
I understand that, I'm just stating the case as at some point I'd hope someone from sky would pick this up as I was told to come back here and mention it again so an advisor could check.
