SKY Q (light is on)


Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI port on the back of the Q box to an HDMI port on the back of your TV. 

Use your TV's remote control (not the Sky remote) to select the appropriate HDMI input source. You should now be able to see the output of the Sky Q box and continue to set it up if you have just replaced it. 

If you don't see any output from the Q box, turn it off at the wall for a minute then power it back on and allow it to restart.

@Morgan53  There isn't much to go on

 

Changing your TV shouldn't affect broadband where you have posted

 

Do you have Sky+HD, Sky Q or Sky Stream?

The connection between a main Q box and a television set is typically an HDMI cable going from the HDMI port on the Q box and HDMI #1 on the TV set.

What make of TV do you have? It's normally a button with a rectangle and and arrow pointing in to the centre of it from the left hand side. It'll say source or input on it.

Alternatively if your Sky remote also controls your tv like tuning off  and volume ect. On some tvs if you press the home button to turn your tv on (instead coronal on/off button) ( that the button with little picture of a house on) on some TVs the tv will automatically go to the correct input of your Sky box

As it is just after changing  TV that they are having problem with, I doubt that the SKY remote is paired with it.

hi @Morgan53 

 

A weak signal message will be from the TV's own tuner & not a message from/via  an HDMI input

 

With the SKy Q box switched on (green Led) try pressing the following keys on the SKY remote in sequence

Home 1 0 8 0 Home

 

Then use your TV's own remote again to try selecting the correct HDMI input

As @nigea99 indicates, that's referring to signal from an aerial, not an HDMI cable.
