B Sky B's (Sky) remote control has the facility to operate the basic functions of many TV's in addition to the functions of the Sky Box.

In order for the Sky remote control to operate the basic functions of a TV, first you must programme the relevant code into it. It will then operate the Power On/Off, Volume up/down and Channel up/down. (on some models of TV’s, it may operate some other functions too)

Many of our TV's were launched after B Sky B (Sky) launched their latest remote control called Rev 8, therefore, the Sky remote control that Sky customers have does not include the code required in order to operate our TV's. (You can find out which revision of Sky remote control you have by removing the battery cover/batteries, you should see a sticker advising Rev. then the number)

Sky are due to launch the new version, called revision 9 (rev.9) at the end of 2009 or 2010. They inform us that they will include the codes for our TV’s in the new version.

When they do finally launch it, in order to operate our TV’s with the Sky remote, you will have the purchase the new Rev.9 model. Typically, this may cost around £25-£30.

If you do not want to wait until middle of 2010, we have the perfect solution for you. See our One for All Sky and Sky+/Sky HD remote controls below.
