@Spud401 
If you follow this link it’ll eventually send you to a form to request a replacement (I’m not sure if this applies to customers in the Republic of Ireland).

It may be quicker to purchase a new remote from a retailer / larger supermarket.

While your waiting, if you have an android or Apple device with Sky Go you can possibly set up a virtual remote to control your Sky Q box. See this link which may help

@Spud401 that can't be right. There's no voice activation on Sky+ boxes.
