Screen is frozen, there are two buttons to potentially select. Either Settings or skip & set up later. Neither work I can't get from this screen to anything else

@Fiona081970 try the following...
Unpair the Sky Q remote from the box by holding 4&6
Wait for the remote to flash you should then be able to dismiss the information screen by clicking on Skip & set up later
Hold 1&3 to repair the remote control
If 4&6 does not allow you to clear the information screen, try holding 7&9 to reset the Sky Q remote then hold 1&3 and follow the on-screen setup journey to allow the remote to control your TV.

Re: Screen frozen on Accessibility on Sky Q, make it easy to find and watch the shows you love etc
Sky have suggested the following...
- Unpair their Sky Q remote from the box by holding 4&6
- Wait for the remote to flash
- Then dismiss the information screen "Skip & set up later"
- Hold 1&3 to repair the remote control
If 4&6 does not allow you to clear the information screen, try holding 7&9 to reset the Sky Q remote then hold 1&3 and follow the on-screen setup journey to allow the remote to control the TV.
