Unable to fast forward

Why can't I fast forward on my recordings I can rewind but not forwards. I have tried to reboot Sky Q but no difference I have also rebooted remote with sky box. Last night while trying to fast forward the screen went black but after rebooting it was fine, fast forward has worked all day and early evening then suddenly stopped.

Hi @Juliep60 

You could check your disc space in Recordings - Manage to make sure you are not near full capacity.

Otherwise you could try a Reset Settings in the Q box hidden menu.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
Only Carry out the first Reset (Reset Settings) as the other two will wipe all recordings.
After the Reset you will have to re pair your Bluetooth remote If you use one.
If you cannot switch the Q box on with the remote after the Reset press the Standby button (Amber led) on the front of the box.
To re pair the remote press 1 & 3 together on the remote and follow onscreen instructions to re pair.

Make sure that you are pointing the remote at the Q box when you press 1 & 3 together.

Resetting the settings will also reset:

Audio visual settings, such as picture resolution and HDMI control
Settings changed within the hidden engineer menu, include LNB type. If on a communal dish you need to reset the LNB to SCR in the hidden menu. After changing the LNB type you need to reboot the Q box.
