@Niria 

Can I just clarify that in the 5 months you haven't used the box you've kept up to dates with your payments to Sky ?

Do you mean you've tried all that @oldfella suggested and it's still not working?

Do you mind me asking why you haven't watched TV via the Sky Q box for 5 months and also how has the box been left over this extended period ie; switched on / on standby / switched off at the plug?

That won't have helped. It will have missed vital updates including two software updates (mine were in November and February).

Hang on, are you saying that you are getting a 'No Signal' message on the tv screen?

@Niria 
If a message is displaying ”No signal” it tends to be from your TV (in which case check the HDMI cable between the Sky Q box and your TV).

Any “no satellite signal” message relates to your Sky box.

Hi @Niria 

Have you been through the following link?
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-q-box-wont-turn-on
If you have to order a new Q box this usually means a doorstep swap.
Don’t forget to keep your viewing card from the failed box if you order a replacement. Also if the box you are replacing is a 2TB there are two versions of power supply. One has a standard C7 (figure of eight) power lead socket in the back of the Q box. The other has a separate power supply. Although this still has the C7 power lead into the power supply there is a multi pin Din power socket in the Q box for connecting the power supply. Make sure that the replacement box has the power supply included if the Q box has the orange coded multi pin din socket in the back of the Q box. See below.
