Check the batteries
An easy way to check is to cover the buttons slightly on your Sky remote with your hand. You should see a white backlight behind the buttons. If you don't see the backlight the issue is the power with the remote, so potentially a battery issue.
Check the battery compartment to make sure the paper used to protect the battery has been fully removed. It might have ripped when being removed leaving some behind.

Not a lot of information to go off there. Is this a new remote or was it working previously? Have you checked the batteries and unpaired and re-paired the remote to your Glass / Stream device etc..
