Remote won't talk to your TV? I'll get it paired properly so it controls your TV, box, soundbar - whatever needs working. No more juggling three remotes that don't work.
### The Remote That Stopped Working
You were watching TV last night. This morning the remote **does nothing**. Batteries are fine. TV's on. Remote's dead.
Or your Sky remote won't change the TV volume anymore. Or you need three remotes to watch anything and you've forgotten which button is on which one.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Most "broken" remotes aren't broken - they're just unpaired. Five minutes to fix if you know the right button sequence.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple remotes cluttering the table?** I can often program one remote to do everything. Means fewer remotes to lose down the sofa. **Replacement remote needed?** Genuine ones cost a fortune. Compatible remotes work just as well and cost £10-15. I can advise what to buy or order one for you. **Smart home integration?** If you've got Alexa or Google Home, I can set up voice control for your TV. "Alexa, turn on the TV" instead of finding the remote at all.
Frequently Asked Questions about Remote pairing in Honiton
Why won't my remote control my TV anymore?
Usually because it's unpaired - lost connection to the TV, box, or soundbar. Happens when batteries die, after a power cut, or when someone presses the wrong combination of buttons. Easy fix once you know the pairing sequence for your specific remote.
Do all remotes need pairing?
No. Old-style infrared remotes (point at the TV, nothing happens if you cover the end) don't pair - they just work. Modern remotes using Bluetooth or RF (work without pointing, can control from other rooms) need pairing to specific devices.
Can you pair one remote to control everything?
Usually yes - Sky remotes can control your TV, Virgin remotes can control volume, universal remotes can do the lot. I'll set it up so you need fewer remotes cluttering the coffee table. One remote for everything if possible.
What if the remote's just broken?
I'll test that. If it's genuinely faulty rather than just unpaired, I'll tell you straight. Replacement remotes are cheap - I can advise which one to buy or get one for you.
Will you write down the instructions?
Yes - I'll leave you clear instructions for how to pair it again if it happens in future. Some people keep them stuck to the back of the remote, some in a kitchen drawer. Whatever works for you.
