My sky + hd suddenly shows a message the the viewing card needs to be paired. Oddly it's in only one room ( I have multi room). I've had sky for 20 years and this happens occasionally without apparent reason. I find this rather frustrating as the instructions to remedy simply don't work

Try performing a New Install

See question Q21 in my Sky Plus F⋅A⋅Q

I tried upgrading to SkyQ but when the engineer arrived he asked "which wall shall I bolt my ladder to?"

I sent him away, no one is drilling my walls. I am 73 and I can cheerfully go up a ladder without bolting it to a wall 

H& S  crazy

Failing to tether a ladder to a wall is a very serious breach of Skys very tough H & S rules.

That is a known issue where your multiscreen cards get canceled by Sky, you'll most likely need to give sky a call to see what can be done

The point is, sky works and I've been using it for a very long time. Then without reason or warning I am told to pair my viewing card. I want to watch tv, not spend half an hour figuring out how to fix what sky has unfixed

But, because you initiated a switch to Sky Q, your Multiroom card was cancelled as you don't need it for Sky Q. Your only option is to speak to Sky to try and get it re-paired.

All modern viewing devices are 'computers'.

Even a 2015 Sky+ HD box has a CPU,  hard drive, operating system, interactive Graphic User Interface and (optional) network connection.
