    Where do I get the name for my remote control in order to reprogramme it? :confused:
  • when mine played up i bent it in my hands and it came back to life - must be a loose dry joint or something
  • Hi,

    maybe your sky box has 'froze', try switching it off at the wall for a couple of minutes.

    JO4, the remote has failed then. Replace batteries and retest as suggested by basill

    I tried that but it didn't work.

    Hi,

    To perform a RESET press [TV] and then hold [select] and [red button] together for around two seconds (until the red light blinks twice). Now press 999 (red light blinks once for a long time and then twice quickly).

    Hope this works for you.

    Different batteries do not make any difference. :confused:

    Yup, always helps me :D




    On a more serious note, I had this and nothing worked to fix it. I phoned Sky, they sent a replacement FOC.
    Worth a try?
    I must go, I have lives to ruin and hearts to break :D
