Also, Sky will give advice on specific make & model for remote compatibility and codes if you contact them on 08702 43 43 43.

Yes, it does seem that others have had problems with this model range.

One thing which you might try as a last resort..
Take out the batteries from your remote control and leave them out for an hour or do to be certain to clear the remotes memory.

Re-insert and retry entering codes. Noting slight difference in button sequence when entering 3-digit to 4-digit codes.

I've come across remotes that seem to get corrupted and won't accept codes.

Thanks Cobweb. Still no joy I'm afraid - looks like I am stuck with using two flickers.

Universal 4-digit code for Thomson is 0771.

Individual 3-digit codes for Thomson are...
363,315,427,137,361,224,226,327,371,065,518,596,377
To enter 3-digit codes..
1) Press TV.
2) Press and hold RED & SELECT (light blinks twice).
3) ENTER 3-digit code.
4) Press STANDBY on SKY remote (if TV switches to standby, code is correct.
5) Press SELECT.

Apparently there is a specific problem with some Thomson 24 Widescreen TV's, which requires the following fix for the SKY remote to work these TV's. Information on this issue is available at the following url...
