@Roger073 try the following
Unpair their Sky Q remote from the box by holding 4&6 the remote should flash 4 times you should be able to yhen clear the information screen then hold 1&3 to repair the remote control
If 4&6 does not allow you to clear the information screen, try holding 7&9 to reset the Sky Q remote then hold 1&3 and follow the on-screen setup journey to allow the remote to control the TV.
I may be a Sky Superuser but I am still just a Sky customer

Sky Broadband Hub/SR203, Sky Ultrafast broadband

Re: My remote control works as far as controlling everything except getting past Accessibility on sk
Hi, sorry it's a winge......
Why does sky ask for there equipment back when I was told yesterday " we don't want your box back, just bin it, why now they don't recycle.... seems pointless asking for old equipment back on one side to then be told no we don't want your old box as it's so old you can just bin it? What happens to the thousands of OLD old boxes, you should swap EVERY box over surly? Otherwise they go into landfill via a black bag as my council doesn't collect waste electronics. All a bit mad I know but just seems a odd policy to have. Only the newer old ones you want back?
sorry, but thought I should vent in the way sky wants me to vent,.....on here!!! Apologies.
Roger in Cornwall no car in the middle of nowhere!!!!
spoke today to a really great customer service lady today by the name of Lynn in Scotland, who owned the issue and saw it through from the beginning to the end, thank you Lynn. If there are any Sky customer service managers who look at this please can I express my true thanks to Lynn, we need more lady's like her in this world. Thank her please.
