Sky HD Remote TRIED EVERYTHING

smallfry

Hi Guys, I've just got Sky HD and the installation crew left without
tuning the new remote to control the TV...
I've tried everything but nothing is working to tune it in.

Is the HD remote different? TV is Sharp but 0093 won't work...

Please help,

smallfry

The same code you used with your previous sky remote should still work with HD.

If you have this remote you can get it to "tell u" what code it is using

these instructions...from satcure.co.uk

1. Press the TV button on the Sky remote

2. Hold down Select and the Red buttons together for approximately two seconds, until the Red LED on the Sky remote blinks twice.

3. Key in 990 on the remote.

4. Key in 1 on the numeric keypad and count the number of times the Red LED blinks. The number of blinks will indicate the first digit of the code

Note that a 0 is represented by no blinks where you press the key. (My code is 081 so first time I tried it on my old Digibox remote I thought it wasn't working! And coming from a software background, I had a weird expectation that 10 blinks would be used for a 0!!!) Niall Gillespie

5. Input 2 on the numeric keypad and count the blinks to identify the second digit of the code.

6. Input 3 on the numeric keypad and count the blinks to identify the third digit of the code.

7. Write it down and keep it safely.

Or just go to interactive-customer services-programming your remote, and look up the model number of your tv in the list.

I've a Sharp TV and had a problem with the correct remote code. The code displayed on the Sky help menu didn't work. I rang Sky and the guy at the other end gave me a different code that worked perfectly. So maybe give them a call.

I can't give you the code because naturally I didn't write it down at the time :rolleyes:

I tried the suggestion posted by bigfishman and the remote returned 012 as the code but the code given to me by Sky was a 4 digit code.

Have u tried 012 then??

press tv

hold select and red and wait for 2 blinks

key in 012

press select - should blink twice

now try the tv functions.

any joy???

Nothin working so far, tried the interactive route but the model number is not coming up on the list... Its a Sharp LC-32D44e-BK

I'll try giving them a call tomorrow and see if they can help... Bit of a pain
to be honest...

Thanks for ye're efforts..

Hey folks, been trying the instructions above but cant get the lights to blink twice when the red and tv buttons are pressed together. The installation dude said the code that the he inputted was the wrong one and that Samsung tvs can be awkward. Could it be that the remote is the fault?

Any ideas of what to try next?

I have a Hisense Tv I got from HN a few years back. the sky remote cant and wont work with it at all as its a diff type of IR signal. should be called non-sense not Hisense. gave up on sky all together, now ive a FTA and DTT box with recording facilities, so to hell with sky charges..... got enough tv from that.

Red and TV together is incorrect - you must press red and SELECT together to get your 1st two blinks

http://satcure.com/tech/digicode2.htm is a great resource for Sky codes.

WRT Samsung TVs, I found that older revisions of Sky remote controls didn't work properly - especially with volume control, you'd need to repeatedly press the volume button to go up incrementally. However, current revisions work fine.
