"Settings" although the box is highlighted it will not activate., I've tried two different controls and two different friends! None of us can get it to work!

So it's not a Sky Q hub, it's a Sky Q mini box.
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.

Re: Sky Q hub settings will not activate
Hi @Frickies Does the Select (Ok) button work everywhere else?

Re: Sky Q hub settings will not activate
Yes, until it gets to the option of "settings" and won't respond to "set up later" either
(and love your name, from Manfred Mann?)

Hi @Frickies Sorry, exactly what "settings" are you talking about. You mention Sky Q Hub (which is a broadband router) but you have posted in the Sky Q TV community. I assumed you meant Settings on the Sky Q box menu.

Re: Sky Q hub settings will not activate
Oh dear, it's my brother's Sky Q but he's even more clueless than me. We have two televisions. On 15th May there was an outage on Sky. Through a friend's help we've managed to get his television up and working but the television downstairs (a hub box?) won't. There is a screen (having pressed the appropriate connection button upstairs) which says "Accessibility on Sky Q" and at the bottom are 2 boxes, neither of which responds.
