All;

Tonight my remote seems to have died for no reason at all. Batteries are fine etc. One min it was fine the next nothing. The red light is not flashing etc.

Any ideas?

 

It's probably fucked and you'll have to buy a new one m8, assuming of course you switched the box off and back on

 

heard loads of people having bother with them remotes..the volume control on mine doesnt work but the rest does

 

Dan its the remote not the box, as no led coming on the remote. Seems a bit random to suddenly go when it was fine.

Joyness having to buy another one. I dont think there cheap either.

 

Can get them in Tesco's, and other shops, Snetterton mkt was selling them years ago for Ł5!!

Have you coded the remote to your TV, my remote won't latch onto my TV either been through it loads of times, annoying isn't it!

If you lose the use of some buttons, take the remote apart and clean under the rubber mat of buttons. Underneath the buttons is a conductive coating that presses against a contact. If dirty then buttons stop working.

Worked for me.

 

not sure how to code it...it used to work but just suddenly stopped..pain in the arse having to use a seperate remote just for volume amazing how bone idle we get!

 

Mine did this. Left the batteries out over night, put them back in in the morning and it was good to go again!

 

Press the interactive button > customer service > programme your remote.

Rhys, are you within your 12 month contract? If so give Sky a call and get a free replacement.

 

Typical just out of 12months!! Will leave batteries out over night.

 

Is it an old non-plus box or +/HD? If plus/hd, I've got two spare here - fiver posted?

mine went funny before aswell. all back to normal now. dont think yours was an isolated incident as other folk are reporting problems.

 

Its HD Box. Put batteries back in this morning and now works! Strange!!! just need to code it back up to TV now.

Cheers for offer Chris, i might take u up on it soon depends how long it lasts again lol.

 

Glad it works! As I said mine did it once, 6 hours after having the sky hd installed, but it has been fine since!
