sky plus remote control

[painterman]

I have an amstrad sky plus box everything works ok apart from the red,green,yellow and blue buttons on the remote control all other buttons work ok. Can anyone help.

Have you tried changing the batteries?

[painterman]

have just changed batteries still the same

If you're within your first 12 months I'd give Sky a call and get them to send you a new one.

If you're not then get yourself down to Argos and buy a new one, if that one suffers the same problem then it's the box (and you can take the remote back to Argos under their gaurentee), if that solves it then it was the remote and you should be back in business again.

Could you have you pressed the TV button on the remote while trying to use it with the sky+ box by any chance?

Make sure to press the Sky button first and then try it.
