Ok, wife has lost sky remote and i found an old one. Can it be tuned in to work with skybox?
The sky box is just a standard box and the remote is a sky+ remote, can that work?

sorted byOne of the 2 cables that run into the sky+ box is damaged so have old sky box plugged in until it gets fixed
No, they are 2 fantastic ideas, do u work for NASA?
Because obviously their recruitment policy is entirely based on common sense...
As a suggestion - rather than get defensive, just learn a lesson about taking 20 seconds to look on Google instead of posting a ridiculously useless thread.
thanks, will try that tonight, i have tried google as the wingnut suggested but couldn't find anything that worked hence why i posted on here as that's what most people do when they are looking for help.
anyway cheers again

Thats what i thought but it's not recognising it :-(
Wasn't sure if u had to tune it in or not
Or as an alternative, there is a fantastic site for this kind if query, www.Google.co.uk.
Ok, i'll leave out the sarcasm this time as it obviously flew a bit high, tried both your sublime ideas hence the post on here.
I feel for you if you interpret it like that.
I don't
You don't... what?
Have common sense?
Have the intelligence to make a reasonable retort?
Understand when someone is ridiculing your attempt at a come back?
Know how to finish a sentence?
I would accept all of the above.

Hold Yellow+Select until LED flashes twice

Select (LED should flash twice)

if not, google how to sync a sky remote and try the other ways
not sure why this thread is full of clowns posting rubbish

just read this, oh well, new remote it is.

Your Sky + receiver will still work with one dish cable, it is just the recording facilities that will not function fully.
wrong, why bother posting when you have no clue?
i have a couple of normal sky box remotes from before i had sky+ and they work with my sky+ boxes except there is no record button and my sky+ remotes work with the standard boxes i had before
this works 99% of the time
1. Press TV
2. Hold Yellow+Select until LED flashes twice
3. Press 0
4. Press Select
5. Press Sky

actually i asked a sky engineer the above question , your solution isn't a known one (not saying it doesn't work) just the engineer hasn't heard of it.
google it and see how many posts there are about it online
i think your sky engineer was either trying it on wanting to sell you something which you didn't need or was just totally thick
Sky do not employ " engineers ", they employ individuals that undergo basic training in installing ( usually badly) Sky systems.
Hi. Thank you. I bought a new sky remote from sky and it came without instructions for tuning it to the sky box. I googled it and this was the only place that gave instructions that actually worked. Cheers
