Default Sky+ remote volume not working.

The volume control and mute button stopped working. Everything else is ok. More than likely a dodgy remote but before I buy a new one, has anybody had a similar problem that turned out not to be the remote?

It might just have lost its tv codes (especially if the battery has come out for more than a few minutes). Try resetting them - most manufacturers codes can be found on the interactive button somewhere

you can check your remote control buttons are working by using your cell phone if you have a camera on it. this should give you a idea what you need to do

Now that you mention it I'm pretty sure batteries were out, the catch is broken on the back of the remote. I'll give that a go and see what happens. Thanks.

Yeah tried that Martin. The infra red is pulsing but not as quickly as with one of the other buttons that work.

Just to let you guys know, I've tried to thank you both with the 'thanks' button but it's not working for me. Probably because I'm having to use a proxy. Edit's not working either.

You can pick up cheap sky remotes from big tescos and places like that. Not particularly expensive.

Yeah they're cheap enough to buy. The grief I've been listening to, wouldn't mind but I rarely use it. Thanks again.
