I have swapped Samsung TVs between rooms. I cannot control the sound/on-off with one of the Sky Q remotes. I have tried re pairing but the setup returns "can't find your TV". The TV worked perfectly with the other mini box.
I have tried selecting Vetel and Other brand but none of these options work. I have also tried power failing everything.
Any ideas please?

Thanks for your advice oldfella.
Found the issue.
My Samsung soundbar was blocking the signal to the TV!
Put the soundbar on the floor and I was then able to pair the remote.
I may have to experiment with the position of the soundbar (or maybe just ditch it).

Hi @Woody33
Samsung TV should not be a problem for pairing.
With the Q box on with green led try completly resetting your Bluetooth remote.
Press and hold 7 & 9 together on the remote until it’s led flashes four times.
Then make sure that you are pointing your remote at the Q box and press 1 & 3 together until the remote led flashes and follow onscreen instructions to re- pair.

I have the same kind of problem with my LG TV (the soundbar is blocking the IR signal from the remote. I solved this by pointing the remote at the ceiling and letting the signal bounce down to the TV.
