sky channels not able to view

I have recently re-joined SKY and after plugging my SkyQ box back in I cannot view a lot of the Sky channels (Sky sports, Sky News, Sky Atlantic etc) but can view BBC, ITV, Sky Crime, FoodTV and the likes.

Hi @LloydieDL 

Assume you have a new viewing card?

First check that your viewing card is correctly inserted. Viewing card is in the right hand end of the box.
If it is in correctly there is not enough of it sticking out to grip and remove it.
Push it fully in and it will pop out slightly enough so you can remove it.
Take it out and give the chip a gentle wipe with a damp lint free cloth or E-cloth.
Ensure that it completely dry before you reinsert it chip side up and chip end in first. Push it gently fully in and you should feel a slight click when it is engaged. If it has popped out enough to remove it is not located correctly.
If you are satisfied that it is in correctly
Try refreshing your Viewing card.
Home - Settings - System info.
Highlight Viewing card number and then select Setup on the right hand side.
Then select Use this option to trigger a callback

No call is actually made but the Viewing card should be refreshed.
