Sky+ HD remote - certain buttons not working

My remote has suddenly stopped working properly. the following buttons aren't working : TV guide, sky, select, i, and the directional buttons. pretty annoying so has anyone got an idea how to fix it please?

IDoes the light on the remote or the box flash when you press any of the buttons you mentioned if not you may want to try resetting the remote.See below.
As the title says how to reprogram Sky remotes (and reset them to factory defaults which can cure non operating remotes. All remotes have at least 8 different modes (HD have 12). Obviously standard remotes do not have the Sky+ function buttons but recordings can be played from the planner by highlighting and pressing "Select" twice and stopped by pressing "Backup" - no pause, FF, Rewind or Record buttons (but recordings can be set from pressing "record" on the box.
For most remotes Version 4 and later (white label inside battery cover)
1 Press "TV"
2 Press and hold "Select" and "Yellow" together until red led in remote end flashes twice (On HD remotes "Select" and "i" together) - if it doesn't flash twice then remote cannot be reprogrammed (clone or too old)
3 Press "0" to operate standard box, "1" for Sky+ and on HD remotes "2" for HD - remotes in Sky+ mode will normally control HD boxes as well
4 Press "Select" - red led should flash twice
5 Press "Sky" and away you go
Any remote in Sky+ mode will also operate HD boxes BUT this can be stopped in some remote and box combinations in the following way (it certainly works on Amstrad DRX890) boxes but NOT Thomson HD boxes)
1 Press "TV"
2 Press and hold "Select" and "Blue" together until red led in remote end flashes twice - if it doesn't flash twice then remote cannot be reprogrammed (clone or too old)
3 Press "1"- There are 4 different modes here 0, 1, 2, 3
4 Press "Select" - red led should flash twice
5 Press "Sky" and away you go
In above to return remote to operating both in step 3 press "0"

  • Certain buttons not working

    Somehow my shift is stuck on through the computer and not the keyboard. It is making it so i cant enter my password because is all caps and have to use numberpad to enter numbers. Also my command key isn't registering when press, also not keyboard. Is there someway to reset the keys or something like that?

    I have a silver remote with the red buttons and since the bad storm today in Indianapolis, the Guide and On Demand buttons are not working.  Channels change manually, Exit, and other buttons are fine.  Just those two.  We did flicker power during this storm and the cable box went off a couple of times for a few seconds.  I've tried everything!  It was working fine this morning before the storm.  Please help!It is not the remote,,,,You should go ahead and power down the cable box, and then power back up after a few seconds...  this will reinitialize the box and it should be good to go after the reboot.   If the box is still displaying the noted behaviour, you may need to have it swapped out if "lightning" scranbled its internal logic!

  • Encore Remote Preview Buttons Not Working in Preview Mode

    I have had this annoying problem on several ocassions and it's back again. I have never been able to figure out what causes it.
    When in the prview mode to test the DVD compliation to see if the remote buttons will change between the menu buttons I created, I am unable to select any of the three buttons in the menu with the remote selector at the bottom of the preview window.  I am able to select them with a mouse click but not with the remote buttons meaning that when the DVD is built, a real reomte will not change the titles that are associated with each button.
    What can be causing this to keep happening.  The compilation in Encore is a linked composition form Premier CS4--both Encore and Premier are CS4.
    Please help please.
    Thanks!!

    I know this post is old, but I found it as I am having the same issue.  Encore CS5. I have a menu that I have 9 buttons layed out, near the bottom, and the previous/next and main menu buttons are near the top. The 9 on the bottom are each numbers 1-9. However when I preview it starts at 1 then pressing right arrow does not jump to number 2 but #11, the "next" arrow button on top of page. 
    I will post a screen shot with buttons 1-9 hilighted, showing they are not touching, and the button routing turned on.
    Any thoughts? 
    I guess I will make a new menu and see if I just need to reuild it.

  • Apple Remote Menu button not working on 80gb Classic iPod

    The subject pretty much sums it up, I tested the Menu button with Frontrow and it works as expected...is my dock broken or is the iPod bad?
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Wow. So, they sell it with a device that is made for iPods.
    They put a button on it that reads "Menu", just like the button on the iPod, but doesn't provide the same function, in fact, no function at all, while it would be great if it HAD this function.
    Interesting. I don't think even Microsoft would dare to pull this one off.
    It's tricky, but anyone who can sell me this non functional button as a "feature, not a bug" is definetely on their way to a great career start...salesman, Apple spokesperson, politics

  • Remote control and eject button not working?

    Hey.
    Not too much to explain - my remote control does not work at all, and neither does my cd eject button on the keypad. This is after the installation of Leopard.
    I've tried to search for the issue but only find people complaining about the new Front Row design or how they cannot eject volumes at all. (Which is not my case)
    Has some people had this error and fixed it?
    Thanks in advance.

    The remote control could be because I deactivated my IR receiver
    That leaves my eject button.

  • Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

    Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
    Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
    I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

    I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • Iphone 4 home button not working, called never fixed, then cracked screen before bringing it back again, will they blame the cracked screen if i bring it back?

    I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit.

  • CHAPTER BUTTON NOT WORKING ON FINAL BD-DISC

    Hello,
    I read several posts here about chapter issues but none of them addressed exactly to my problem.
    So I have my HD (blu-ray) project on Encore 5 and have set 8 chapter markers. Each one is linked to a menu button that works perfectly.
    It`s a simple project and works fine on the preview. But not on the final disc when playing in the BD player.
    The next button on the remote control does not works. It also shows chapter 1/1.
    The end actions set on each chapter is a link to the next chapter. E.g - The end actions set to chapter 2 a links to chapter 3. Except to the last chapter that has no end actions set.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    I appreciate any helps!
    Bruno

    I'm not sure if this is a playlist.
    I've just set the chapter markers on the timeline.
    Anyway, Is possible to use chapters on Encore for BD discs and have them work on blu-ray player remote control?
    Thanks!
    Bruno

    If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
    If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.

  • Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

    logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
    I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
    Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
    any ideas?

    Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based.  Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
    Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop.  This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

    Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.
