Sky have black versions of their MySky remote for Hotel/Motels etc which you are able to reprogram the buttons to your TV controls.

Call and ask for one

why not just set the tv volume then use the sky remote to change the volume?

Whys that Wingbat?

Because when you change input you get an ear full & will affect the other rooms volume if they are connected

my Sky remote wont alter the volume as its running through an amp but it will mute the Amp when you push the mute button on the remote, no idea why.

in audio see if the audio setting is set to Dolby, that would explain the audio issue. Set to mpg/pcm and you will regain your volume control.

They are a for commercial use only (as far as I am aware) and I called sky to make sure and the (slightly useful csr) confirmed it. take that with a grain of salt.

One of the aftermarket replacement foxtel/sky remotes that a friend bought had the volume feature on it, and they are not that expenive off ebay.

You might find something useful if you look in the products of aftermarket. But I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. Cause I never used mysky. You should contact with them about it first.

Which is remarkably customer unfriendly of Sky. What reason would the possibly have to randomly refuse to sell a remote to residential customers, which they stock and happily provide to other customers, when all that achieves is preventing a paying customer being able to make their decoder play nice with their other equipment?

They would have to support them if they sold them, whereas commercial installs usually have someone doing any hardware changes etc anyway that can deal with the config of the remote.

Just trouble. Eventually they will do it I am sure but it will cause more issue than you would think.
