I’m a Sky TV addict and I know three game-changing remote hacks – including a secret button that saves you loads of time

YOUR Sky TV remote control is full of hidden functions – and even a secret button or two.

Here are three you might not know that will instantly improve your Sky Q viewing experience.

Faster TV guide

It can take forever to scroll through the TV guide using the standard arrow keys.

This is especially the case if you want to see what’s on tomorrow.

But did you know there’s another set of keys that lets you jump forward much faster?

The button in question is the fast forward button.

Click on it and the guide will jump forward a full 24 hours.

Similarly, click the rewind button to go back 24 hours.

If you get lost in the program guide, click the play button – you will be brought back to the present.

Voice control alone makes watching TV much easier.

But you can also have a little fun with it.

The feature recognizes some movie quotes and takes you straight to the title they are associated with.

For example, My Precious takes you to The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

The full list of supported movie quotes can be found here.

Your Sky Q remote also has a hidden button that is clearly visible.

The Sky logo is not only a fancy decoration, but also a fully functional button.

Pressing takes you straight to your recordings.

So you no longer have to rummage through the various Sky menus to find what you are looking for.
