My box regularly fails to start up correctly and I have to do multiple switch off and back on again to get it working. This time it will not work at all. Just the standby light showing.

Re: Sky Q box stuck on standby
Hi @nomes What happens if you press the on/off button on the box itself?

Started the box up again and pressed the on off button and it worked ( stupidly I had been pressing the WPS button previously), it is dark under the TV !!
