My sky a remote has a mind of its own. When in tv guide it randomly moves up and down by itself

When in tv guide on any tv the remote randomly moves up and down and sometimes across the menus without touching. I have tried it on both multiroom boxes. I have tried changing the batteries multiple times. I have tried resetting the box and the remote and nothing helps. Sky cannot shed any light on this and sent a new remote which when tuned in didn't even work the home button so was no use. It's like a gremlin in the system and is very annoying   Please has anyone else had this?

Sounds like it's had something spilled on it and the buttons are shorting

Hi 

I just had same issue and I went to settings 

then to setup then to remote control then across to sky q touch remote and make sure the touch control is set to off 

as when it is set to on the remote seems to have a mind of its own and moves the tv guide up and down etc on its own this seems to have stopped it as soon as I set it to off 

let's hope this fixes it forever
