@Marioneward  Welcome to the forum.  It is most likely the remote as they frequently cause issues and often fail altogether.

 

Try pairing the remote again as follows:

 

  1. Press 7 and 9 together on your Sky remote for three seconds (This resets/clears the remote)
  2. Press 1 and 3 together for three seconds (bluetooth mode).  A connected message should appear on your screen, press continue and it's all done.

If that doesn't help you have a look at the the following troubleshooting guides:

You could also try holding the remote at both ends and giving it a gentle twist as though you were wringing out a cloth.  Even though it sounds an unlikely solution it has got many faulty remotes working again (including my own).

 

If none of the above help then I would request a replacement at the following link: Streaming TV replacement remote 

 

If you are lucky enough to have one available you can use a Sky Q remote while you wait for a replacement to arrive (I currently use one as a secondary remote)

 

Good luck
