Sky q remote has stopped working

I have done all the trouble shooting options. I have read all the forums and used the 'helpful' automatic response system. All the remotes are not working

I wouldn't expect more than one Sky Q remote to malfunction at once.


After checking the basics, ie; fresh batteries, re-pairing etc if your Sky Q remote is definitely broken/faulty, if you follow this link it should allow you to do some more troubleshooting and then it’ll send you to a form to request a replacement (I’m not sure if this is available to customers in the Republic of Ireland).

It may be quicker to purchase a new remote from a retailer / larger supermarket. If you do that as well as the above you’ll have a spare.

In the meantime if you have an Apple device with Sky Go you can possibly set up a virtual remote to control your Sky Q box. See this link which may help

Re: Sky q remote has stopped working

This has happened twice to us, last night and tonight.   Both times we'd been watching UHD football and gone straight to a recording.   Had to reboot the box, then remotes (all three) are working again.
