All streaming apps ( Netflix etc.) are slow to stop. The main Sky menu screens very slow to load. We are on very stable full in-premises fibre with average WiFi speeds of +200mbs.
We've tried rebooting skybox, monitoring WiFi speeds etc. We've had the same Skybox for 8 years with no issues. Suddenly it has started acting up. In network settings we can see the connection turn on and off, yet nothing has changed on the network. Any ideas?

Hi @Malkie000
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.

Tried that to the letter. Everything seemed ok for about an hour or so, then it started slowing down again and lasting much longer each time.
