putting your box into Standby then switching it off at the wall for 30 seconds
switch it back on then follow the on screen instructions

If you are using Sky+HD/Sky Q:
Has there been heavy snow in your area? The snow could have accumulated on this dish causing a signal obstruction. If you are able and have the necessary skills and safety gear, and take all necessary precautions, you can climb a ladder and remove the snow from the dish. Alternatively, you can wait until the snow melts.
Another issue could be the unusual heavy rain across the UK and Ireland. The heavy rain and thick clouds can also obstruct the satellite signal.
If you're using Sky+ (SD) or a Sky Digibox or an older box, these boxes are now obsolete and you will need to contact Sky to upgrade to Sky Q.
If you're using Sky Glass/Sky Stream:
(Note: Added this for other customers who may see this thread)
Check with your Internet provider that your Internet is in working order. If your Internet is provided from Sky and/or your Internet is OK, you will need to contact Sky to book an engineer.
