When watching recordings of Sky Witness programmes, particukarly the "Chicago" trilogy for no particular reason the programmes lock up and stay frozen. The only way to get out of the freeze is to reset the Q box. This seems to happen regularly with recordings but not with streamings, is it my box or is it the programmes themselves. It is now happening often and is so annoying.. Any ideas what the fault is. I think it is my box but strange it only seems to happen on Witness.
Hi @fredq
When you say "reset the Q box"
Is this a Reset Settings inthe hidden menu or just a reboot?
I suspect the latter and so
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.
