Over the past two months, my SkyQ box is crashing on a regular basis (getting worse)-
- Box won't come out of standby
- Box crashes when recording more than one program - no particular station
- Sky mini boxes lose connection
- I have disconnected the ethernet cable and switched back to Wifi - same issue!
- I have rebooted the router
- The SkyQ box is at least 4 years old
- Software version - Q270.000.10.02L
- UI version - 27.772.271.00
- Hardware version - 32B206

Any idea on how to resolve this issue?
Hi @dubirl
Try a Reset Settings in the Q box 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.
Only Carry out the first Reset (Reset Settings) as the other two will wipe all recordings.
After the Reset you will have to re pair your Bluetooth remote If you use one.
If you cannot switch the Q box on with the remote after the Reset press the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the box.
To re pair the remote press 1 & 3 together on the remote and follow onscreen instructions to re pair.
Make sure that you are pointing the remote at the Q box when you press 1 & 3 together.
Resetting the settings will also reset:
Audio visual settings, such as picture resolution and HDMI control
Settings changed within the hidden engineer menu, include LNB type. If on a communal dish you need to reset the LNB to SCR in the hidden menu. After changing the LNB type you need to reboot the Q box.
