Sky remote won’t let me change channels

Good evening,

 

I cannot change channels using my Sky remote. I have changed batteries and rebooted a few times but still no joy. 

Please advise

Which Sky TV platform - Sky+? SkyQ? Sky Glass/Stream?

If it's Sky streaming remote try these ideas:

 

Re-pair the remote
Press 7 and 9 together on your Sky remote for three seconds (This resets/clears the remote)
Press 1 and 3 together for three seconds (bluetooth mode) and follow any on-screen instructions.

The next option sounds insane but a number of users have reported it resolving the issue with their remotes. You could try holding the remote at both ends and giving it a gentle twist as though you were wringing out a towel. It

If it is still not working have a look at the following guides:

If none of these options work you can request a replacement remote via this link: https://www.sky.com/help/forms/streaming-tv-remote

If you have an old Sky Q remote, you can use that as an interim solution whilst you await the new remote.
