To reset your Sky box, turn off the power at the mains and ensure all lights on the box have disappeared (this might take a few minutes). Next, press and hold the 'backup' button on your box (if accessible) and turn the power back on. Keep holding the 'backup' button for up to 30 seconds until the box turns back on. The process can take a few minutes, so patience is key. Remember, resetting your box will delete all recordings, so use this option as a last resort.
