Hi wondered if anybody else had this issue, the mini connects to the main box ok, EPG appears as normal but whichever channel I select I just get a blank blue screen. Even recorded programs are the same, all recordings appear but when one is played I just get the same blank blue screen. I rebooted the box multiple times but no change.
The main Q box is working normally.
Does it seem like the mini itself is goosed?

Try a reboot of the main Sky Q box first, then once that’s back up and running do the same with any mini boxes -
~ Using the remote put your main Sky Q box into standby
~ switch the box off at the plug
~ wait at least 30 seconds and then switch the box back on at the plug
~ follow the on screen instructions
~ when the screen goes blank and the blue Q stops pulsating wait another 30 seconds
~ press the 🏠 button
Allow 5-10 minutes before things hopefully revert back to normal.

Re: Sky Q mini box showing EPG but no programs
The reboot and power off on the main box did the trick, thanks
