Technical fault/Satellite signal

My Sky Q box has been temperamental ever since it was installed last month with the box sometimes finding signal, sometimes not.

It's had HDCP error as well. It's got hot and the fans have been whirring. I've rebooted it and updated the software, however it's now completely not working. Anyone got an idea?

Hi @br6 

Work through the following link

If you have to order a new Q box this usually means a doorstep swap.
Don’t forget to keep your viewing card from the failed box if you order a replacement.
Also if the box you are replacing is a 2TB there are two versions of power supply. One has a standard C7 (figure of eight) power lead socket in the back of the Q box. The other has a separate power supply. Although this still has the C7 power lead into the power supply there is a multi pin Din power socket in the Q box for connecting the power supply. Make sure that the replacement box has the power supply included if the Q box has the orange coded multi pin din socket in the back of the Q box. See below.
