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.

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.
