Sky box green light is on but despite wires being connected the tv is not detecting sky.

Sky box green light is on but despite wires being connected the tv is not detecting sky.  Everything was fine on Wednesday.  No one has been home since.  I have just come home to find the remote doesn't control anything (I changed to new batteries just now) and on the tv the skybox doesn't show up under hdmi2 as it used to before.  Wires are all properly connected - not sure what's happening please help

Hi @Tasmeg 

have you tried cycling through the TV HDMI inputs to make sure you cannot detect the Q box?

 

First make sure that the TV 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 will work for all TV’s.
