Sky Q box and mini controller problem

Hi

Does anyone know how to program a mini box controller to work separately from the Q box one as when I try and pair it with the mini box it picks up the Q box through Bluetooth and pairs that rather than the mini! 
thank you

How close together are your Q box and mini box?

The obvious thing to try is to take the minibox further away before trying to pair it. Or move the remote as far away from the Q box as possible before trying.

Hi, it's only a small house so the Bluetooth gets it from upstairs too.

So how about (temporarily) wrapping the Q box in aluminium foil to mask the  bluetooth signal while you pair the minibox. (Don't do it for any length of time though  - the Q box will overheat!)

Hi, I was on the phone to sky last night with no answer for 30 mins and then they shut at 9. 
I'll try that idea and see if that works tonight. 
Thanks
