How to - Program Your Sky Remote to Work Your TV

Tweet

I set up my Sky+ Remote some time ago to work the functions on my TV like changing channels and adjusting the volume so we only needed the one remote most of the time.  When I got home from work today I had to set it up again as my wife had needed to remove the batteries from the remote and it's TV functions had been wiped so here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this: First you'll need to know the 4 digit code to use to program your Remote, to get this you'll need 3 pieces of information - ~ The version number of your Sky+ Remote (you can find this by checking inside the battery compartment) ~ The manufacturer of your TV ~ The Model Number of your TV Enter these 3 pieces of information into the Sky Remote Code Finder here. Note: The Model Number is not essential to finding your code, if you don't know this information you can leave this field blank and when you press the GET MY CODE button you'll be presented with some generic manufacturer codes to try. Next you need to program your Sky+ Remote with this code, to do this follow these steps - 1. Select any channel on your TV 2. Point your Sky+ remote away from the TV set and press the TV Button 3. Simultaneously hold down the Select and Red Button on the Sky+ Remote until the red light at the top flashes twice 4. Input the correct 4 digit number for your TV manufacturer on the Sky+ Remote then press the Select button.  The red light should blink twice more to confirm the code has been entered 5. Point the Sky+ Remote at the TV and try the Volume Button. If the Volume works try some of the other functions, if these work the Sky+ Remote has been programmed correctly - bear in mind that not all TV functions will work with the Sky+ Remote.  You should be able to change the volume, turn the TV on/off (standby) by pressing the TV Button and then the Power button, and cycle through the source inputs by pressing the Help button. Not all TV's support these functions and the Sky+ Remote cannot utilise the more advanced features of your TV such as Picture in Picture (PIP), Surround Sound, and TV Tuning.
