View Full Version : Using a Sky+ SKYHD remote with older Sky box
I've just purchased a new Sky controller from Ebay (revision 8) which is the same as my SKY HD one. I wanted to use this on my 2nd box in the kids room which is a rather old SKY Digibox.
Can I do this or have I wasted my cash?

Sky+ & HD remotes will not work with standard non Sky+/HD boxes. Sky+ remotes will work HD & visa versa.

You can actually use a Sky + Remote to control a Sky Digibox, to activate this function do the following:
Press TV
Hold Yellow and Select until LED flashes twice
Press 0
Press Select
Press Sky
To revert back to operating a Sky+ box, enter this sequence again but press the "1" button instead of "0".
Note: not all remotes support this feature - only newer Rev 6+ will.
Also, if you wish to use a standard Sky Digibox remote to control a Sky+ Box, do the following:
Press TV
Hold Blue and select until LED flash twice
Press 2
Press Select
Press Sky
Now the sky up and down channel buttons change the channels on the Sky+ box.
To revert back, enter this sequence again but press "0" instead of "2".
Regards,
Guy
