Hi @Wayneargue
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.

Hi @Wayneargue The Q button is not the on/off switch. It is over to the right.

As per my post @Wayneargue
Have you tried pressing the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the Q box.
If this turns the Q box on.... reset your Bluetooth remote as per my earlier post.
Failing this
Hi
Work through the following link

Ordering a new Q box usually means a doorstep swap.
Don’t forget to keep your viewing card from the failed box if you order a replacement.

Re: Sky box is frozen
If the Q light is continually flashing blue with no picture appearing it could have failed. (That light is not a button)
also worth holding down the standby button for 10 seconds to attempt a forced reboot.
