Changing Input on Sky Glass without remote (or voice control)

Hi,

I'm in a situation where I'm waiting for a replacement remote from Sky, which is taking a while but I need to be able to switch to a HDMI input.

How can I do this without using the remote or voice control?

Have you turned off the 'hello sky' voice control function that doesn't require a remote?

Thanks for your response Mark. We don't actually have that function as we dont' have a sky ultimate subscription as we literally only use the TV for streaming services rather than Television channels.

The function comes with the Glass TV by default. You don't need a Sky Ultimate subscription. See the help here: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/voice-control-sky-glass

Not according to that link. Which states:

Voice control is only available on Sky Glass with a Streaming TV subscription
