@Garysarah211005 Try to pair 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 4 and 6 together for three seconds (IR mode).
  3. Press 1 and 3 together for three seconds (bluetooth mode) and follow any on-screen instructions.

If that doesn't help then try 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.  There was a faulty batch of remotes at the end of last year and this method often worked even though it sounds an unlikely solution. Whether it will work on newer remotes I don't know but it's worth a try.

 

If none of the above works then phone Sky to discuss and request a replacement remote.

 

If you have one available you can use a Sky Q remote while you wait for the replacement..

 

Good luck 🤞
