Hi @ThomasGilman87 

Assume you have tried rebooting the Q box?

To reboot press Standby on your Sky Q remote (if the box responds to the remote), and then switch off and unplug at the mains.
Wait at least 30 secs and then Plug back in and switch your Sky Q box back on at the mains.
Wait for the on screen instructions to disappear and the front led to turn Amber. Then wait for 30 secs before you press Home on your Sky Q remote or if this is not working press the standby button on the front of the Q box (Amber led)

note: some features may take up to 5 minutes to return.

Having the same problem. Checked recorded programmes as the menu is fine but even getting black screen there too.

@ThomasGilman87 - turning it off at the plug for 60 seconds has seemed to have sorted mine.
