TV shut down

My Sky Q receiver goes down and then Sky Q reloads programs.This happens a few times per week.

Does anyone experiences this?

Thanks

Re: TV shut down

Hello @calif,

 

does the receiver restart automatically or do you have to do a reset? Sometimes the hard disk can cause this problem. Please remove the HDD from the receiver and check if the error still continues.

 

Regards, 

Benni

Re: TV shut down

Thanks for the tip benni,

it loads automatically but I have to keep pushing the Q box on/off button for it to start again.

I'll give it a try.

BTW, my hard disk is new.Sky had just send me a new one.

As I mentioned, it only does it with the Sky F1 HD channel.

Hi Calif, do have an UK Sky receiver? Thsi Forum is for German Sky only (Sky DE Q box does not have a power button).

No, I have a German Q receiver. (I am American and unfortunately cannot write in German)

the on/off button I meant the button on my remote.

Hi @calif

 

have you had time to test it without a hard drive? If so, does the problem occur without the hard drive?

Re: TV shut down

Thanks Katja,

No, I have not tried it without the HD, but will do so.

By the way, just this last week Sky send me a new H.drive.

hard to believe that this new one is defective.

It only happens on some Sky channels. Other ones like CNN, ARD/ZDF and others are okay and with those it never happens.

Re: TV shut down

@calif,

 

thank you for your feedback. The hard drive test should narrow down the problem a bit more. 🙂 Does this interference occur permanently on the channel Sky Formula 1 HD? Can you name other channels where the problem occurs?

Re: TV shut down

It happens very frequently on the Sky sport F1 HD channel. 3~4 times per hour and yesterday 1 time on 3Sat HD.

a few weeks ago it did it also on some other Sky sport channels ( before I received a new hard disk)

Hello @calif,

To write me a private message open my profile and click on "Message" (in German: "Nachricht").
