Have you previously requested one?

You can still 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

Re: Replacement remote

I have recently received a replacement one and then dropped it on the floor. I cannot fit it together anymore. If this is the reason that I have been denied a replacement then I think Sky should have stated this. I am disappointed with Sky regularly.

Sky perhaps consider requiring two replacement remotes in a short space of time is excessive. Just purchase one.

Re: Replacement remote

Of course I will now but I would  have appreciated a proper response like the one you have given me. Thank you for responding . Unfortunately I damaged it by dropping it on my laminate flooring and will use my phone until I purchase one.
