If you wish to use your Sky Remote Control to operate the basic functions of your Television and know how to update your Sky Remote Control codes.

 

Remote Type	Sky Remote Code	Revision #	Sky Q Code	Universal Remote Code
IR	2196*	9F	N/A	1168 or 2168 (2304 DVD)

* Please note volume controls operate the incorrect way around. Vol+ reduces the Volume, Vol- increases the volume.

Programming Remote Controls

You will need to programme a 4 digit code into your Sky, Sky+ or Sky HD remote control.

Please note that the codes will only be accepted if the Sky Remote Control is a Revision 9F (launched in August 2010 for new Sky HD installations) or later.

Please also note Sky no longer support the old style ‘blue’ Sky remotes and therefore we do not have the codes for those types of remote control.
If you have a ‘One For All’ branded Sky remote control, please use the codes we have listed for Universal Remote Controls.
Depending on when the remote was manufactured, not all ‘One for All’ Sky Remotes will accept these codes.

Important Note for RF Remote Controls

Most models of Sharp TVs launched from August 2015 onwards use the latest ‘RF’ technology as opposed to earlier models which use the previous technology called Infrared (IR).
Android-based models use a combination of Infrared (IR) and Bluetooth (BT). Sky Remotes using IR technology (up to and including Revision 10) cannot operate our newer TV models that use ‘RF’ remote controls. (The same applies to the vast majority of models launched by most of the premium brands whose models launched from Jan 2015).

In the future, Sky may launch remote controls using ‘RF’ technology which will mean you will be able to use a Sky Remote to operate the basic functions of any new RF controlled Sharp TV (as well as most other premium brands).
For the latest Sky Remotes supplied with “Q” boxes, these remotes are IR+BT (Infrared and Bluetooth).

To find out which version of Sky Remote you have, remove the battery cover, and you should see a sticker showing the ‘Rev’ number. You can find detailed instructions by clicking here.

If your Sky remote is Rev 8 or earlier, you must purchase a new Sky Remote control to operate the TV’s functions.

1. Press TV.
2. Press and hold the ‘Red’ button and ‘Select’ at the same time. (the Red indicator light at the top of the Sky remote will flash twice).
3. Enter the 4 digit code for your make/model of TV.
4. The red indicator light should flash twice to confirm the code is accepted. If it does not, you do not have a Revision 9F remote control.
5. Press ‘select’ again to store the code.
6. The Sky remote will now operate the TV (On some functions, you may need to press ‘TV’ to put the remote into ‘TV mode’).
