follow instructions....

press 'TV' button on sky remote.......

Then 'red + select' button at the same time. Then press 'tv' again.......The red light on the remote should flash twice...

Then press your 4 digit code for your make of telly (Mine is 0188)

Then press select and the red light on the remote should flash twice again.

Then press 'TV' and then 'Standby'

if it's worked the TV should turn off and it's sorted!

Have tried many times but can't get it to work with my Daewoo TV either

Wasn't too much of a problem until the dog decided to eat the TV remote a couple of months ago

Mine works ok, except pressing the blue sky button won't switch sky on from the normal telly I have to use the AVC button to do it, it used to work until the painters moved the telly while painting a while ago, I have changed the wires round at the back with no joy..
