Switching TV off
My Sky Q remote will only switch my TV off every other time.

Re: Switching TV off
Hi @mw47831 Are you holding down the power button for 2-3 seconds? You should know when the TV power toggle has been sent as the remote LED flashes once.

Re: Switching TV off
A short press of the power button switches your Sky Q to standby. A longer press should turn the TV off (and on).
NOTE: I only provide help on the forum boards so Direct Messaging is switched off
