I usually find that any child under the age of 12 has a natural mastery of such technology.

I think there is summat in the sky manual on how to get your sky remote to work with your TV.

If it dont work from the manual, it wont work on your TV unfortunately.

Wouldn't necessarily agree with you there! Our TV isn't in the manual but I gave the customer Service a ring and they put me through to the technical services and they gave me the correct code for it and it works fine with it. Manuals tend to be correct at the time of going to print but as new tvs are introduced they have to introduce new codes and it would be a waste of money to send these out to everyone.

Give customer Services a ring they will help.

Step One.

Are you a SKY TV subscriber?

This worked spot on for me.

Press the Interactive button and follow the steps to get your remote set up for new TV.

In defence of CGKSHEFF you do not need to be a SKY subscriber to use a sky remote, if you put the correct TV code in it will work on any TV and you can buy them for £11-00 on ebay.

I have a sky digital box and remote and do not subscribe to sky (anymore).

Canceling the subscription and going freeview is the best thing we have ever done. We can still watch loads of programs using the sky box with the added benefit of having a life again. :)

People quite often ring me up and say things like my telly isnt working or my computer isnt working can you help (I seem to be a natural helpline). First thing I always ask them is it plugged in. They usually laugh at me and say what a stupid question. I ask them to check and in 90% of cases they come back to phone and say ok, I think thats solved it.
