Sky Q mini box tv showing No signal

My SkyQ mini box has green light  but when I switch tv on sky comes up on screen but then goes to no signal.  The main tv and box are fine.

This seems to have happened after I was watching dvd on main tv although this might not be relevant.

Do I really have to go through re-boot of  main tv?

Hi @Juanita47 

Yes, First try rebooting the main Q box and then when this is completely back up and running reboot the mini.
To reboot press Standby on your Sky Q remote (if the box responds to the remote), and then switch off and unplug at the mains.
Wait at least 30 secs and then Plug back in and switch your Sky Q box back on at the mains.
Wait for the on screen instructions to disappear and the front led to turn Amber. Then wait for 30 secs before you press Home on your Sky Q remote or if this is not working press the standby button on the front of the Q box (Amber led)

note: some features may take up to 5 minutes to return.

Reboot the mini as above.
If the mini still does not connect try a Network Reset on the mini.
Network Reset found in mini Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Follow instructions to WPS with main Q box.
You will be asked to press the WPS button on the main Q box (not the mini as the Network reset will start the mini WPS automatically).

If you are on Sky Broadband and the Router is nearer to the mini than the main box then you can try pressing WPS on the router instead of the main Q box. If you do this make sure you press the Sky router WPS button and not the router reset button.

Re: Sky Q mini box tv showing No signal

Thank you for replying. I really didn't want to go through this whole process again. I had to do it last month when both boxes lost signal.

It is driving me nuts and I wish I had never switched to skyq
