hi @Youngie_92 

Yes start be resetting the remote:
Press & Hold the 7 & 9 until the remote's light (red LED above the SKY logo button) flashes 4 times

Then press 1 & 3 together to go through to re-pair with the other box and your associated TV - make sure it has line of sight of the box as until it is paired it uses Infrared

Repeat for the other one

Just out of interest why is the one currently in use for the mini better ?

Thank you very much, it worked!

the main one is quite old and has a damaged back, the mini remote is brand new and a better feel 😊

thanks
