Been going on services,then settings and finally on highlighted picture and trying the 001 select for the last 3 hours with no luck! Till I came across your video!Thanks mate u really helped.
You're welcome Chris. glad it helped. Please do subscribe to our channel. Tom
Hi Tom, I am getting the same screen error as it says no signals. Please could you advise how to set up and access the free channels? Appreciate your help and many thanks.
Exellent help sir thanku😊
Thanks for your video. Do you know how I can remotely control a sky Q box in my parents house 10 miles away. They have difficulty getting the channel number or sometimes lost in the menus. I could rescue the situation for them easily if I could access remotely
I prefer radio to television these days, but just out of curiosity, how do you tune it to receive radio stations not included in the Sky package? For example, you’re a Romanian and you want to receive a radio station from Bucharest, Cluj, or other city to get news from home.
thank you you are my favrouite toauuber
Cheers. 001... just what I always... wanted 😊😊😊
You're welcome. It used to be just 0,1. Don't know they changed it. Please subscribe to our channel.
My skty box seems to be tuned for North West as I get North West news not my local Scottish news. How can i fix this. I actually quite like the NW west news but it's not appropriate to my area. Does the box need set for the area i am in?
I have just got a sky plus box and dont know how to connect to the wireless in network it doesnt have the option to put in your wireless password.
Is there anyway too change the region on a sky+hd box ??? With no subscription
Great gypsy everyone's not the same good job
Just canceled my Sky TV but still using the box to view the free to view channels. Is there a way to remove or change the listings to only show the free to view channels. Thanks.
Hey man, I cancelled ours too.. Unfortunately we were on sky q and had an old sky + box laying around.. Getting satellite signal error though, wondering if you had any similar issues and if you were able to fix?! Thanks,
@@Satty123G just change the lnb and connect to HD box
@@Satty123G I have been doing this to people home depend which area you live in I live in Manchester
ive got a sky q box with problems on harddrive. my recordings wont load and iv'e got recordings i really don't wanna lose. if i have a new box i lose everything. is there anyway i can get round this.
Hi, can I access my files on my usb device on the sky q box and mini?
Cheers for this. Changed lnb and pulled put old sky + hd box to use as a freesat box. Surprisingly it records, but albeit only 1 channel at a time regardless of single tuner setting. Any ideas why this might be?
Can I turn Irish sky hd box to an English one like a freesat type 😐
Great thanks. After strong wind my box stop showing listing for future programs. Also, the scheduled stop working and only can do it from main menu or catch up. Any advise as with the lock up, Sky is not answering any calls.
Hi, could try powering down the box and turning it back on after a couple of mins. That might work, if the dish has moved in the wind, it will need re-aligning, not an easy task without the right equipment.
Need some advice... I bought a second hand skyHD box off the internet it came with a card and I’ve switched it on and it’s got the sports channels and history etc... why is this and if I remain offline with the box can sky cut the channels off or am I in the land of milk and honey with free sports
I got the entertainment package on my ebay box. Bit glitchy on the sky channels but watchable
How do I put free view frow my sky box is it pinball
I’m looking for a way to create a pin/parental controls for RUclips or remove the app. How can I do this? Need to stop my daughter from using it.
Hi Tom, How do you access the settings when the remote has no services button, our remote looks the same, its about 8 years old. Cannot find a way to change the LNB for a new dish we have. Thanks C151201 is the only number on the inside of the battery cover.
Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻
I use my Sky box as a receiver for all the radio stations available. I therefore only have a pair of phono leads running from the analogue out sockets to my amplifier. Unfortunately, the sound level from the Sky box is very low. Is there any way of increasing the analogue out level of the box please? MTIA.

Can i sort my signal out in the hidden menu if how do i do?
Thanks but just moved into s house and i can't even plug the cable into the wall. There seems to be copper wire sticking out the wall. The previous owner has just yanked the cable out it seems. I tried turning it and it just won't come out. Evrn though it turns. Is there anything you can suggest? I only use the free channels and don't have sky subscription but looks like i msy have to get an electrician.
Can you show a video when you get your sky back
Hi I've recently left sky Q and want to use my old sky+ box but I tried it last night and it says no satellite signal, on my old box but my sky Q still works, is there anyway I can get my freeview back through my sky +, would it work wired or wireless through my router? Any advice would be appreciated. Before I get someone to set up my dish for freeview.
I'm in the same boat. How u figured it out yet?
I found out that sky Q and sky plus are two different signals, so sky Q won't work on sky + you'd need to get the receiver changed back, there's lots of people out there that can install this on your old dish to get your free view stations, I haven't done it yet.
Sky box screen is on portrait any way I can fix it?
Hi Tom, you had a video I can’t now find, which gave instructions to reset channel (setting up sky box for the first time) I have an old box sky + so these recent videos aren’t helping. Can you help as I can’t find anything that makes sense by anyone else either. Thanks
How to reset the time?
Hi, i have stopped paying for sky some time ago. i used a HDMI lead to connect to my TV and had access via the sky "Q" Box,and internet, which showed all my old recorded items and gave access to net flix, and BBC i player and many channels via catch-up. i am now unable to get anything ! The error message says i have no satellite signal. i think sky have got the message that i will no longer be paying them for their services and have prevented me from seeing anything on my TV. Am i correct in my assumtion ? Also can i use a "Q" Box to allow me to see those items i had before and or see Free view TV ?
Barry.
Hi Barry. I'm afraid that the Sky Q box can't be used without a subscription. I advise you contact Sky as they may have only provided the box on a loan basis, they may want it back.
Hello I bought a antiference me200 remote link eye sensor but I've plugged it in back of TV but it won't turn on?
Hi Aodhan, does the cable feed to the RF2 output on a Sky box?
How do I get this with Sky Q box?
Hi had to replace my sky box myself because my old one gave up after 8 years, 😢what do i have to do to get my new one to work with my card? Kind regards
You need to pair the card with the new box, usually quite easy with boxes connected to the internet. Sky can do this remotely for you if you contact them.
How do you use 1 decoder to watch on 2 TVs so that I dont need the decoder to change channels on the tv that is away from the sky decoders...for example Hospital room TVs can be tuned into the sky without having a decoder present...is it possible

Hi ... how can i change the menu to another language? I am in Germany and want language on menu to be in English
The copper strands on the outer core . Do they need to be connected, as I need to connect two coaxed cable together
The copper strands need to connect to the coax plug itself but must never come into contact with the centre conductor.

Thanks for your help. But I cannot access TV guide on my new sky remote. Are you able to send a top tip please?

Hi can you view recording in planner without a satalite and viewing card?
No afraid not, recordings are encrypted to the HDD.
Just changed my bedroom tv that had sky on it through a coaxe cable and the hisense doesn’t find the signal. Brought it down to the living room where the main TV set is and it can’t find it either. WTF is wrong
I don't know what to press after 01 then select
It depends on what you want to do whilst inside the installer menu, it's actually 001 then select. It used to be just 0,1. Don't know they changed it
Years ago aged 13 I knew how to mess about with a service engineers menu and found loads of channels that either never went live or whatever I even came across a channel that played only a sky news bulletin on the hour Nd was for ships. I remember a channel called blue or something there was never anything on it but it was there 😂
Can u get channel 5
I'm stuck at this no signal screen with my old sky box after returning my sky Q. Any advice?
Hi, yes this LNB on your satellite dish that is used for Sky Q is not compatible with standard Sky. You will need to install a different LNB on your satellite dish.
Hi , do you know how to disable the wifi using the 001 method as I only use wired connections . sky router 4.2
JEANS CHRIS call sky
I can't record and watch another channel at the same time? if I'am recording and switch channel I get the no signal is being received? . I also get mini tv is not available. Thanks x
You won't be able to do that with a normal Sky box on Single Feed Mode. The purpose of single feed mode is so that if you do only have one cable connected the box doesn't get confused looking for a second signal. They can behave a bit erratic with only one signal cable connected if you do not set it to single feed mode
its in the sky box recording
I am stuck and tried everything aargh
Thanks but can u show how to get netflix on normal sky
I need to change the TV Sky Guide to be longer than the 1 day at present.
Me too, have you found it?
Hi what settings do you change as it might sound silly. Like upstairs I have normal and downstairs I’ve got sky q installed today but I’d like extra channels if not what I’ve got downstairs upstairs without having to pay for multi room , am I making sense ?
Sorry Hamza, I don't understand the question.
Have an old sky box in sitting room and a new DTV Television set up in a bedroom. Have ran a sky eye from the old sky box to the new tv and the sky eye fully connected and led light confirms receiving. However when I go to scan the AF the channel which in this case is 37 from the old sky box the new TV won't pick up the channel and only gives me DTV option when scanning. Am I missing a step ? Its for my mum who watches TV from sitting room in the day and wants to watch TV from bedroom at night. Please help.
Hi has anybody tried to convert there sky box into a full freesat recorder box like a humax for example?
Can't be done without a Sky subscription. You can still use it to watch Free To Air channels, but if you want to record etc, you need to pay Sky for that.
Does not work.
So could you get Disney + on it
Yes, as long as you pay for the Sky subscription with that service.
Hi how can I change my region on BBC I'm currently watching bbc London news which is no good to me cus I live in Birmingham PLEASE HELP
I don't think that it can be done without contacting Sky, you can watch your Birmingham region by finding it in the channels in the 900's. helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/Can-I-change-my-region-or-does-it-require-a-engineer-visit/td-p/2914854
