@MU18 Just unplug it from its power source, leave it for a few seconds then plug back in and wait for it to reset. You also go to Settings (either scroll down the home page or say "settings" in your voice button. Go to System management, Restart & update, and Restart device.

Thankyou. Will try the voice button because it is impossible to get to settings via the home button as it will not access the home page to move to settings.

@MU18 Ok. Press the 4 & 6 buttons on your remote at the same time and hold for 3 seconds, this will reset your remote, let's see if that sorts it.

Re: Home button will not go to home page but only to cinema page
@MU18 did you try unplugging the remote and leaving it for a couple of minutes and then plugging it in again as suggested by @Stephen+Mourton
You could also try pairing your remote again as follows
- Press 7 and 9 together on your Sky remote for three seconds (This clears the remote of any previous settings)
- Press 1 and 3 together for three seconds and follow the on-screen instructions. Note - If you wanted to set it up in IR mode instead of bluetooth then press 4 and 6 for 3 seconds instead of 1 and 3
If my post has solved your issue please mark as an "Answer" as it helps others identify the solution
If it has helped please give it a "Like"
