Sky /Sky+ remote

[Malcolm J]

As a newbie on here if this is not a good NG to ask this question then
please point me in the right direction....

My question is, why can't a SKY remote be programmed to operate a SKY+
box.... I can get the channel up and down to work, but the numeric pad
doesn't work....?

I would imagine it is something to do with the software in the remote, but
isn't there anyway of 'fixing' it to work. Or, do I just throw away the old
style remotes I got>

There's probably a Sky support NG but anyway, I got myself a universal

programmable (learning) remote so that I didn't have to have a lot of rc's
around. If I change a piece of kit I just reprogram and I'm away. Mind you,
I picked it up for $5 at a clearance sale, so it made it worthwhile.

Cheers.
