Sky Q touch remote not working, discontinued?

Also, the buttons under the tv for volume or changing channels won't work either... It just shows a circle ⭕️ on off settings and connection. Like the volume button does not exist any more

hi @Belle34 

it sounds like your TV is currently stuck on the TV's Freeview Tuner - you need to be able to select the HDMI that SKY is on

From your mention above regarding not working with the buttons on the TV it is making think that you may have a problem with the TV itself, unfortunately.

Update... have managed to get the volume button to go up and down on the tv with the TV remote but.... still not a sound!!! Do I just need to buy a new TV? Is that the issue? I don't mind? If only I had the root of the issue I could get the solution. When the sky technician tells you it's a common issue a new remote will fix it you find of trust them. Now I'm Dow this rabbit hole five days laster three new remotes another arriving tomorrow still no sound no terrestrial tv and none the wiser... it wouldn't matter so much if the TV was not such an integral part of my children's daily routine. Being Autistic they don't cope well with change.

On your LG remote, press the Settings button (a cog) and scroll down until you see "Sound Out". Then press Select and use left/right to make sure it is set to TV Speaker.

Well I am not a sky technician, that's what the professional at sky talked me through. So if he did not know what he was doing and it's his job to know... I don't know how, I, a complete technophobe would be supposed to know. That's why I came and asked for advice, after the fact when the "new" incorrect one arrived. Which now I know they do not send out any more, which again the technical person did not explain. So... I am simply trying to get sound on my TV having had none since Saturday. I have bought a new TV remote arriving any time within the next few hours and Sky are sending me accessibility remote? Even though they have just sent me a second sky Q remote. I am hoping, it was due to the first young girls error yesterday ordering the wrong remote again and it not being cancelled properly. Because the Second Lady I spoke to our call never ended and got sorted till 5:50 pm so I am still expecting a third different remote to arrive. Talk about a calamity... Can you upload pictures here? Lol I'd happily upload the two identical remotes...

My comment was directed at them, not you

Also - what model LG TV is it exactly?

The terrestrial thing should be irrelevant but if you do have an antenna connected, that should be fixable but let's leave that aside for now - just try to do everything with the TV set to the right HDMI input for the Sky box.

hi @Belle34 

Now we know your TV remote is working , as @Chodley says, you need to make sure your TV has the input set to the HDMI connection that your SKY box is plugged into. 

I am afraid I don;t know if the remote will have a label called input or something else or just an icon
