Sky Q remote red light stays on. Remote not working after batteries replaced.
My Sky Q remote was working fine. A message appeared to replace the batteries. I replaced the batteries. Now the red light on the remote remains on at all times (even if the box and TV are off)
I have tried pressing 1&3, 7&9, resetting the Sky Q box (unplug etc). The remote has no effect at all. The remote's light remains on, no matter what buttons I press.
I can't seem to find any help with this particular problem.
Any ideas?

Hi @Lezindi
Looks like either the Microphone button or the Question mark (?) is stuck in on your remote

Hi @oldfella
Nope. No buttons are stuck. Remote is super clean
