@neillondon  If you ordered Q this would set an automatic process off to cancel existing viewing cards

 

if you have subsequently cancelled the order you should have still received a new viewing card if so use this replacement card 

 

if you haven't received a new card call sky to request one

If you order Sky Q and it is cancelled for any reason the Sky+ viewing card gets disabled and cannot be re-enabled, you then need Sky to send a replacement card

 

Try performing a New Install

See question Q21 in my Sky Plus F⋅A⋅Q
