To work on a standard Sky + box:
Press TV, hold Select & i together until the LED light flashes twice, press 1 then Select.
It now operates the standard box, looks nicer than standard remote and is cheaper!

The buttons have a great 'positive' feel.
I'm using it temporarily for Sky+ until I get the HD installed, so Trevor's codes for changing it to work on SKY+ came in very handy. (Worked first time)
I assume to convert it back to work on SKY HD will probably be as simple as leaving the batteries out for 10mins or so. This resets previous sky remotes, so I see no reason for it not to work on this one. anyway the remote comes with a helpline no. to Universal (Philips) so they would advise if there were any problems.
So, if you need this as a replacement or to use with multi-room, either for SKY+ or SKY+ HD I would highly recommend it.
Oh, and buy the way... the usual great price and quick delivery from Amazon.

I purchased this unit to compliment my new Sky HD box, having had my old Sky HD unit consigned to the bin after only 19months(picture break up,lockup,loss of signal). The old remote unit was also playing up,and so,on the rcommendation of the bloke from Sky,I tracked down a suitable replacement. The unit arrived within 24 hours, complete with batteries. Now the fun started. My new Sky HD box defaulted back to the old style TV guide (minus the mini tv), which the engineer assured me is quite normal,and the new improved guide would reappear in a few days,when the software kicks in,which it duly did.My new remote didn't like the old style guide at all, and buttons had to be pressed repeatedly to get a result. Also,I had to retune the remote to make it compatible with my Sony Bravia TV, as the mute and volume didn't initially work.Tips on retuning, and tuning codes can be found on numerous internet forums, such as Digitalpyforums.Once this had been done, all was back to normal.Nice smooth,trouble free operation. New Sky HD, plus new like for like remote, and a bit of fiddling around....result....normal viewing service has been resumed.

Great remote at great price, matches our other original Sky HD remote, is far cheaper than most prices for this product.
