HELP IN PAIRING SKY Q REMOTE

I'm having problems following the instructions for my new Sky Q remote.

Which button do I use to confirm answers? Also, No.3 instruction asks which remote am I using. Does it come with a drop down menu? (I haven't started doing this yet.) Any help would be much appreciated.

hi @SusanB2 

 

 I am not sure what instructions you are referring to, unless you are referring to the web page in the link below - you should not need to select the type of remote if you follow this:

 

To choose the TV, you navigate using the arrow buttons and confirm with the Enter/select central button

The chances are entering the TV model may not find it, so I generally recommend choosing the 'Find it for me option' which often works with one of the first few codes it tries

 

Even though it is a new remote I suggest you reset it first 

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 box and your TV - make sure it has line of sight of the box as until it is paired it uses Infrared
