Hi @Liise
You need to check your LNB setting.
You do this in the hidden menu.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
In Setup in the hidden menu you see LNB type.
Scroll right and you have the Option to set Wideband or SCR.
You need SCR
After changing the LNB type to SCR you need to reboot the Q box.
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.

Book an engineer by yourself from sky.com or the My Sky app.

Hi @Liise
Edit
If you carried out a Reset Settings this will have disconnected the remote from the Q box.
Have you tried pressing the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the Q box.
If this turns the Q box on
Try completly resetting your Bluetooth remote.
Press and hold 7 & 9 together on the remote until it’s led flashes four times.
Then make sure that you are pointing your remote at the Q box and press 1 & 3 together until the led flashes and follow onscreen instructions to re- pair.

The remote is now working but the SkyQ still won't reset it's saying you need a satellite signal to watch this tv

hi @Liise
In which case you may need to check/set the LNB type to SCR - this is in an engineer's menu
To access it :
press Home
Scroll to Settings - but do not press enter/select at this point
Press 0 0 1 in sequence followed by the Enter/ select button
you should now get the engineer's menu
Select the LNB Type & set to SCR if necessary
After changing the LNB type power down (switch off at mains or unplug) your SKY Q box and restart it for the change to come into effect
