I use my phone for my remote control but it can't find my sky box so it won't work

I use my phone as my remote control, but it's stopped working. It can't find my sky box as a device. I'm told network is disconnected although there's nothing wrong with my connection or internet

Best to keep in on the forums @Oxford80 .

It helps others.

Check the following link and it will lead to a form for a replacement remote.

In the meantime if you have an Apple device with Sky Go you can set up a virtual remote to control your Q boxes.
