Sky remote no longer works on T.V

    Hi All

    I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue as I have had, my SKY remote no longer works on the TV set. Up to 3 weeks ago I could control the TV channels/volume etc by using the SKY remote on my TV.

    However this has just stopped. I have tried to reprogramme the remote to the TV by following the steps in the SKY handbook but to no avail.The reason I ask is that I mentioned it to a friend recently and he has the same problem.

    I have had no issues with the batteries of the remote as they were changed a fair while back ( couple of months).

    Is it a common problem?
    Do I need to contact SKY for a new remote?/ buy a new one?

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Yeah dmeehan
    It works all of the sky functions as normal.
    Its just the TV it will not work on now.
    Very unusual I know, has me stumped.
    Will ring SKY eventually, but was wondering if anyone here had an iea first.

    The code for your particular tv has been erased from the remote. What make of tv is it?

    Happened to us. We have a mitsubishi. Tried to code in the handbook but to no avail. So onto google and came across a site with lots more codes than are supplied in the book for the various tvs. Tried a couple of these codes for the mitsu and one of them worked. The remote is working again with tv. Sorry I cannot remember the websites :(

    Code is programmed into remote - if remote loses power for more than a few mins. it forgets what sort of TV its meant to be controlling.....

    Tip - once you find the code that works print it & the instructions on how to enter it and leave it tucked inside battery compartment.....They always disappear.
