How Can I Connect My Sky Remote to My TV?

If you want to control your TV’s volume and power using your Sky remote, you’ll need to pair or program it correctly. The process depends on which Sky remote model you have (Sky Q, Sky+ HD, or older).

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide for each type:

📺 1. How to Connect a Sky Q Remote to Your TV

✅ Method 1: Automatic Pairing (Recommended)

1. Press Home on your Sky Q remote.
2. Go to Settings > Setup > Remote Control.
3. Select your remote model (e.g., “Sky Q Touch Remote”).
4. Choose Control your TV.
5. Select your TV brand from the list.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to test if volume and power controls work.
7. If it works—great! If not, it will try another code.

💡 Make sure your Sky Q box is connected to your TV via HDMI and is turned on.

✅ Method 2: Pair with Voice Remote

If you have the Sky Q voice remote:

• Hold 1 and 3 together until the red light flashes.
• The on-screen menu will guide you through pairing with your TV.

📺 2. How to Connect a Sky+ HD Remote to Your TV

🔢 Step-by-Step Manual Setup:

1. Turn on your TV.
2. Find your TV’s 4-digit remote code [Sky provides a TV code checker].
3. Hold TV on your Sky remote.
4. While holding TV, press Select and Red together until the red light blinks twice.
5. Enter your 4-digit code (the red light should blink twice again).
6. Press the Standby button—if the TV turns off, it’s connected.
7. Press Select to save the setting.

🔄 If it doesn’t work, try another code from the list for your TV brand.

🧠 Not Sure What Remote You Have?

• Sky Q Remote: Has a voice button (microphone symbol) and touchpad.
• Sky+ HD Remote: Larger, with coloured buttons and “Sky” in blue.
• You can check the model on the back or under the battery cover.

📌 Tips

• Make sure batteries are fresh.
• You must point the remote directly at the TV (not just the Sky box).
• If the remote won’t pair, try resetting it or check for software updates on your Sky box.

Conclusion

You can connect your Sky remote to your TV by either automatic pairing (Sky Q) or manual code entry (Sky+ HD). Once set up, you can control your TV’s volume and power with a single remote—super convenient!
