Battery usage in the remote.

Hi there everyone,

I was wondering if you can help me with a small problem. My SKY remote drains through batteries whenever i've changed them (And they are fresh batteries) and its getting expensive that i keep having to replace them. Is there a way of getting around this problem by contacting someone? I've had it since November 2024 and i've been through 6 sets of AAA Batteries, where as other remotes i have don't need replacing near enough as my sky one.

If anyone can help that would be great!!!

Thanks

This doesn't sound like a Sky+ Remote (where you've posted) as they take AA batteries.

@Barclayboi93 is this a Puck or Glass remote?

I have the same problem. I may be wrong, but. I think this has become an issue in the last few months.

Batteries are now lasting only a few weeks.

Haven't heard of puck,it's not a glass though so I'd guess it must be the other?

Thanks for your interest, I hope this helps.

@geedoc

You've also posted the same on the Sky Q board which I've replied to. So do you have Sky+ or Sky Q?
