Have you tried all the Toshiba codes for your model? It's possible that there's no code which enables your Sky remote to switch off your TV.

That is correct @Dr.+Debra 

Your remote is correctly paired.

Holding Power button for 3 secs will turn TV On (or Off if already on).

 

To turn Q box On or Off it's just a short press on the remote Power button.

 

If you set HDMI Cec control to On in both the Q box and TV settings then when you turn on the Q box with a short press the TV will also switch on due to Cec control .

Unfortunately Cec control on the Q box will not switch off the TV when the Q box is switched Off.

Both TV and Q box needs switching off independently.   Short press for Q box Off and Long press for TV Off.

Thanks but the TV is not the problem. That turns off and on fine using the Sky remote. It's the Sky Q box which stays on instead of going into standby.

Hi @Dr.+Debra 

Don't know if this post is in response to mine or @Mark39 's.

Sky Q box will not go into Standby when switching off TV with a long press.   See my previous post.

I misread your post. A long press won't turn off both your Sky Q box and your TV. You need a second short press to turn off your Sky box.

Same problem as the original post,Q remote works correctly but will not put the Q box into standby. Have reset the controller several times but still the same problem.
