Sky q box stuck on accessibility page
My sky q box is stuck on accessibility page and won't recognise the remote control. Rebooting hasn't helped

This message seems to have caused a bit of a quirk so try this:
Press & hold 4 & 6 on the remote to set to Infrared only
Hopefully you can then dismiss the message
Then try re-pairing in bluetooth mode with the box by pressing & holding 1 & 3 together
If this does not work try a full remote reset by pressing & holdng 7 & 9 until the red led above the SKY logo button flashes 4 times
Then try the 1&3 to re-pair & pair with the TV

Hi @Shifnal+home Try 7 & 9 until you see 4 flashes. The box must be in line of sight (not hidden).

Re: Sky q box stuck on accessibility page
Does this take a certain length of time? Have tried but no red flashes (with box in sight)

Hi @Shifnal+home Hold down 7 & 9 until the LED on remote flashes four times. Try pressing the "?" key (LED should light up) to check that the remote is not dead.

@Shifnal+home try the following...
reboot the Q box in question
then
Unpair their 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.

Exactly the same problem. None of the suggestions works.
