hi @mcfc11

It sounds like your 7 key on the remote might be sticking

May I suggest you try seeing if you can free it

The Post answer does not mention reboots, resets or batteries @RCT1

it specifically says your 7 key on the remote might be sticking.

Your original post asks if @mcfc11 found an answer.

@mcfc11 marked the answer in the thread.

Sorry if I wasn't specific enough I have also checked the key is not sticking.

@RCT1
After checking the basics if your Sky Q remote is definitely broken/faulty, if you follow this link it should allow you to do some more troubleshooting and then it’ll send you to a form to request a replacement (apparently this is not available to customers in the ROI).

It may be quicker to purchase a new remote from a retailer or larger supermarket. If you do that as well as the above you’ll have a spare.
