Adiebt Posted January 3, 2023 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 .
Adiebt Posted February 20, 2023 Author 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 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.?
Adiebt Posted February 21, 2023 Author 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.
derek500 Posted February 21, 2023 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.
Adiebt Posted February 21, 2023 Author Posted February 21, 2023 The LNB needs to be quad and the my Maxview box had a software update , wasn’t an expensive operation.
Jez_1966 Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Sky Q! Enjoy where you are, removed TV from our van. Laptop/phone for important comms or rainy day but otherwise explore.
