How do a Soft Reset on sky q box

Performing a soft reset on your Sky Q box is a straightforward process. A soft reset does not erase any settings or recordings; it simply reboots the system. Here’s how you can do it: ### Method 1: Using the Remote Control 1. **Press and Hold the Standby Button:** On your Sky Q remote, press and hold the **Standby** button. This button is typically located at the top of the remote. 2. **Wait for the Light to Change:** Keep holding the button until the red light on the remote blinks and then stays on. This usually takes about 5-10 seconds. 3. **Release the Button:** After the red light stays on, release the Standby button. 4. **The Box Will Reboot:** Your Sky Q box should now restart. Wait for it to fully reboot, which might take a few minutes. ### Method 2: Unplugging If you prefer, you can also perform a soft reset by unplugging the device: 1. **Unplug the Sky Q Box:** Simply unplug the power cable from the back of the Sky Q box. 2. **Wait a Moment:** Leave it unplugged for about 30 seconds to a minute. 3. **Plug It Back In:** Reconnect the power cable to the Sky Q box. 4. **Switch on the Box:** Turn the box back on using the power button (if applicable). ### Notes: - A soft reset is generally used to resolve minor issues without affecting your recordings or settings. - If you're experiencing persistent issues after a soft reset, you might want to consider a factory reset or contacting Sky support for assistance.
