Keep pressing the number that matches the letter you want on your Sky+ remote.

On my old-style Sky remote when I try to input 7 it come up with Q- (the dash meaning it's looking for the next letter input). No amount of holding down the 7/Q key will move it from Q to 7.

What am I doing wrong?

For info, I'm trying to input an all numerical password to connect to my Wifi Network.

IIRC you don't hold down the button, you need to press it quickly to cycle through the letters/numbers
