Faulty Mini box
Sky mini box, faulty, won't go to home page goes to a setup page.
Remote won't work to direct instructions, (not a battery iseeue)
Inistially wouldn't find Sky Q box, then after rebooting via the socket the remote won't control and it's stuck on the accessabilty setup page?
I have tried a full reset via the button but no change.
20 months old is it covered by warranty?

Re: Faulty Mini box
Hi @IGM1 All Sky Q Hardware is on loan so maintenance is free. However it sound like your remote has lost its Bluetooth pairing with the box. Turn off Bluetooth by holding down the 4 & 6 buttons until the LED flashes 4 times. As you will now be in IR mode, line of sight between the remote and box will be required. If that works, hold down 1 & 3 to re-pair.

Some Mini boxes will now be over a decade old, but as @MightyQuinn indicates they are all on free loan to facilitate use of a Sky Television subscription so get swapped out if faulty no matter how long they've been in place.
