It may have been hacked by the same people who hacked your computer. Is your Sky box plugged in to the internet?

Try this ....

- Take out the batteries
- Press and hold the Select button for 60 seconds
- Put the batteries back in and wait 60 seconds
- Hey presto all working again?

The above worked for me.

Any reason why I would have to do this again today!?

Worked again, but is it a sign of impending doom for the controller?!
