Sky Q mini box won't play TV - says Please check your subscription entitles you to view this channel
My Sky Q mini box has stopped playing TV channels. My main box is still fine.
It's connected to the internet - I can use apps like Netflix, and it's connecting to the main Sky Q box as it's showing the TV shows I've recorded. But it won't play them, or live TV. All it says is "Please check your subscription entitles you to view this channel on this box".
On the main Sky Q box, it's fine.
It's been doing this for a few days. I've tried rebooting, and reactiving, but no success.

@ip70 I have re-escalated this to sky
You may receive an email or a private message inviting you to have a private conversation on the Community with a Sky Expert.
Look out for a chat bubble at the bottom of your screen inviting you to a chat
If you are using the Safari browser please make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the chat bubble. If you are having trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Firefox, Chrome etc.

A Sky engineer came down and the issue has been resolved. Multiroom subscirption had been removed. Head end fixed the problem within a few minutes. Shame it's no longer possible to solve these issues via a simple phone conversation.
