Sky Q box needs to be constantly reset or software downloaded.
I constantly have to reset my Sky Q box as it won't display or play recordings etc. Once I've downloaded the software, it is fine for a few hours then the tv freezes and I have to reset again. Is the box kaput?

If you're on the latest software, no download actually happens, it just means your box has had a reboot. Does sound like you need a replacement box.
