A loose cable can cause satellite signal problems. Switch your Sky box off at the mains and then check your cables. The two dish input cables should be securely connected to DISH INPUT 1 and DISH INPUT 2. You can check this by gently turning the cables clockwise – but take care not to unscrew them.
Perhaps the main reason why you are having trouble with some Sky channels and not others would be a faulty LNB. You can get a problem with your LNB where you lose approximately 1 quarter of the channels or one half of the channels. To fix- A new LNB will need to be installed onto your satellite dish.
First, you'll need to:
- Connect your computer to the television using HDMI cable.
- Ensure you have a Sky Go app on your TV and Wi-Fi is working fine.
- While on the Sky Go app, start watching your content and choose to mirror your screen.
- Stream a video, and the content on your laptop screen will cast on your television.

What do I need for a tvLink?

Unfortunately, there's no way that you can get Sky Q multiroom without paying the additional monthly fee. Although there are alternatives for you to consider, the way that multiroom is set up makes it impossible to hack or trick your way into a free service.

- Hit the Menu button on your TV remote.
- Choose the Network Settings option then Set up a wireless connection.
- Select the wireless network name for your home Wi-Fi.

Hi @Gd94 If you are having problems with your SKYQ equipment, you need to call SKY and talk to an advisor, to arrange an engineer visit, to check your Dish and equipment these visits are free of charge!
If you're seeing the red recording light continuously illuminated, first check that your Sky Q box isn't recording or downloading any shows. Press Sky to access your recordings, then select scheduled to see if your Sky Q box is recording any shows from Live TV.
