When I get up in the morning the Q boxes in other Rooms do not work. I have to switch the main Tv and main Q. Box off at the mains to reboot the whole system.. I have a disabled person in the house who relies on the tv when. They are unable to sleep often they have. To wait till I get up to reboot the. System before they can watch the TV..the tv just goes off they are watching something.

Hi @Motty4
First thing to check is that the Q boxes are not in ECO standby. In this mode the Qboxes enter a deep sleep from 2:30am until 5:45am.
See the following link
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/using-the-standby-settings.
Al boxes need to be in the same setting. Try Active instead of ECO

I have moved your thread from the Mobile board as it's not a mobile issue.

To repeat the question from @63johnw ~ what is it now set to? Did you change it before the advice was provided, or do you need to test it tomorrow morning?
Edit: no need for multiple threads on the exact same question. Your latest duplicate has been removed and todays has been moved into the thread you started yesterday.

As previously stated this needs doing on each box individually.
