I assume you have Sky Q rather than Sky+ where you've posted.

Hi @jenny5 

 

You don't need to unpair the broken remote as the new one will just overwrite it

 

First I suggest you reset your new remote & then try to pair it.

 

Try a reset of your remote:

Press & Hold the 7 & 9 until the remote's light (red Led above the SKY logo button) flashes 4 times

 

Then press 1 & 3 together to go through to re-pair  with the box and your TV  - make sure it has line of sight of the box as until it is paired it uses Infrared
