Hi @DJGA 

With the mini on
Try completly resetting your Bluetooth remote.
Press and hold 7 & 9 together on the remote until it’s led flashes four times.
Then make sure that you are pointing your remote at the Q box and press 1 & 3 together until the led flashes and follow onscreen instructions to re- pair.

6 and 9 does nothing @DJGA 

First reboot the mini.

To reboot press Standby on your minii remote (if the box responds to the remote), and then switch off and unplug at the mains.
Wait at least 30 secs and then Plug back in and switch your mini box back on at the mains.
Wait for the on screen instructions to disappear and the front led to turn Amber. Then wait for 30 secs before you press Home on your mini remote or if this is not working press the standby button on the front of the mini box (Amber led)

note: some features may take up to 5 minutes to return.

Then with the mini on the Home Screen,

Completly reset your Bluetooth remote.
Press and hold 7 & 9 together on the remote until it’s led flashes four times.
Then make sure that you are pointing your remote at the Q box and press 1 & 3 together until the led flashes and follow onscreen instructions to re- pair.

Re: Remote issue

You say point the remote at the Q box, is that not the mini box? As the mini box is the problem

Yes @DJGA 

A mini is also a Q box.
