Tried resetting sky q box & minis, still nothing works and noticed on forums to try a callback but still no channels with active subscription to mutliroom & sky packages on my mini but the q box works

I have the same problem with the minis but with Sky Movies, I can watch the channels but cannot record them, download them or watch previously downloaded movies. Although I can download them using the main box and then watch them on the mini.

@Jimban you have checked in the mysky app or through your Q box under mysky that the multiroom subscription is still on your account.

@Jimban looks like it may be something at Skys end I can escalte this to Sky but the chances are it will not be picked up until tomorrow or if you need it fixing asap you would need to call Sky. If you want it escalating let me know and I can do this for you
