Assume you got the light to flash with 7&9?
did you then hold down 1&3?

1st try reset of your remote:
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

I have exactly the same problem, can't set up new remote, they say i have a connectivity issue. It has worked with this set up for years. We have sky box in other room, Thought remote was incorrect. new remote has all the lights flashing but can't connect.

Hi @Hmmmmm123 Did you try power rebooting your Sky Q box first? The remote should work after 7 & 9 by IR (line of sight to box).
