Sky q won’t start up when shut off
When I first turn on my sky q box at the start of the day it won't start I just get the usual msg that when screen goes blank press home button on remote but it never goes farther than that so I have to keep rebooting the box until maybe 6 or 7 times then it will finally start and work.

Re: Sky q won’t start up when shut off
Turn on at the mains or bring out of standby? How are you leaving the box overnight?

No I just turn off with remote but in the morning the box just won't start up I have to pull the power plug out of socket and wait a while then plug back in but like I said it might take 6 or 7 maybe more but then on the off chance it will fire up straight away .

It might be 5.15 or it could 8.15 even if I get a power cut the box will not fire up it doesn't matter anytime of the day.
