@LisaD88

Hitachi audio/visual products are no longer made by the Japanese manufacturer but by obscure Turkish manufacturers such as Vestel amongst others. These and other no name makes are often referred to as 'supermarket specials'. Try using the code for Vestel. If that doesn’t work then I’m afraid you are probably on a hiding to nothing as there are multiple obscure manufacturers who supply rebranded models to previously large brand manufacturers.

Thank you for the reply. The problem seems to be when I'm pressing 1 & 3 to enter code and nothing comes up. I have then tried the 7&9 factory reset and again nothing comes up. Think it might me sky rather than the tv? Not sure.

Does pressing the ? button make the LED light up?

If not try another set of batteries.
When you reset the remote by pressing 7 and 9 together on the remote make sure the remotes LED flashes four times, then repair to the Sky Q box and TV by pressing 1 and 3 together on the remote and follow the instructions to pair to TV

If still not working probably time to ring Sky and get it replaced for free.

Unfortunately, if you search this forum there are quite a few threads wanting codes for Hitachi TV's and as far as I can see no one has yet been successful.🥴

Hi. I've managed it. Go to settings and when you get to remote settings and it tells you to type in model .... it won't find it so it will try options 1-20. Option 8 is the one that does it

Which model tv have you succeeded with? Following your instructions, I get 13 options. None work!

Model number: 58HK6100U.

I definitely had 20 options.
I pressed settings: set up: remote control: I then click the middle option of sky Q remote: control your tv: that's when I typed in Hitachi then "I know it". Then start typing it in and click "my model is not listed". I then got ... "we're trying the settings that are most likely to work first. This is setting 1 of 20 - to test it try changing the volume. Did this work" I kept them clicking "no, try another" until I reached one that worked

I wonder if it's because my sky Q box is quite new? I've only had it a few months

It's strange I bought mines in earlier in year. Thought it would be same settings anyway? Seems it's a common issue but Thanks for the comment to help.
