Adiebt Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Sky Q LNB , usually all good but this trip it’s developed a fault whereby it plays perfectly for say 5 minutes and then small Picture in Picture boxes appear on screen then the box shuts down . restart and the whole cycle starts again ! it’s does the pic in pic trick with restart with or without remote control input . just got home and set up the TV and box ( different TV ) and all is well and working perfectly. Has Sky sussed out the box is not at home and “ punished “ me ? Cheers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiebt Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 I may of found the problem and the solution , it appears that the cause of my problem could be that the SkyQ box is set at a resolution for my 4K telly at home so is “searching” for a tv with that resolution , my TV in the van is not 4K so the box fails in its search and shuts down. The solution is to set the SkyQ box to a low resolution and by trial and error it should be happy with my lower resolution telly in the van . i can try this in the van whilst it stays overnight at home prior to our next jaunt ( van is kept in storage ) to Chirk at Easter . i realise that nobody replied to my original query but i thought id post this just in case anyone else has the same problem in the future , ill let you all know the outcome of my attempted solution .

Thai Bry Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Sky Q only works via having a WIFI connection, so I'm told. Do you have a mobile WIFI in your motorhome.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiebt Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Sky Q doesn’t require Wi-Fi ( tho not all features available without it ) tho I do have MaxView Roam installed . Sky Glass DOES require Wi-Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek500 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Don't know if the twin LNB on my Mecatronic dish can be updated to one compatible with Sky Q and if the control box also needs updating. Still pairing my viewing card with my old Sky+HD box before going away and re-pairing with my Sky Q box when back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiebt Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 The LNB needs to be quad and the my Maxview box had a software update , wasn’t an expensive operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
