Sky Q not working with new tv

I have recently bought 2 new tvs and the main sky q box doesn't work with either

i can connect ok but as soon as the hello screen disappears the picture keeps flickering and is impossible to watch sound is also on and off, I have downloaded latest software and used new hdmi cables and still the problem persists 

I re plug the old tv and everything is fine ?

Hi @KD30 

First make sure that the Television is switched on and is switched to the HDMI input to which the Q box is connected.
Then with the Q box switched on with green led illuminated
Press
Home 1 0 8 0 Home
on the Q box remote control.

This will change the Q box to standard resolution which should work for all TV’s.  See if this is any better

What output res is the Q set to?

 

should be 1080i after that remote button sequence.

 

Every TV in the last ~20 years can accept that.
