Sky box help

Can anyone figure this one out? I've been given a sky plus HD box with a remote. I'm not going to subscribe but just using this to receive channels as my tv aerial is goosed. Anyway it's up an running apart from the remote. I put some batteries (think they were new) in it but it doesn't activate the box. There is a red light that comes up on the box when the remote is pressed so it does recognise it.

Re: Sky box help

Take a look here, a few suggestions for you to try.
Problems with your Sky remote | Sky Help
If I remember right, you don`t get many free channels through a sky box without a card, even a lot of the free to air channels.
A few more suggestions here - http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=246066

Re: Sky box help

Cheers Gpick. I've been on some of those troubleshooters but can't seem to find the same problem on there. There is quite a few channels including 2 HD ones! There is a card in the machine

sometimes you have to code teh remote to the box.Them remotes are handed out with at least 3 different models of sky hd box .If you google about it perhaps typing "pair remote to hd sky box" you may get te anser you need

Re: Sky box help

My Sky remote sometimes glitches, at which point I unplug the box for a minute then replug it, wait a minute then switch it back on using remote or manually. It usually works. Otherwise, there is a instruction in the back of my remote battery cover saying press tv button, hold select and red button down together for two seconds then enter my 4digit personal code.
