Voice control has changed how it operates

groupcaptain — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 13:02:48 GMT

Before today, my Glass TV (Air) would let me press the blue button on the remote and say e.g. "Sky News" and it would go directly to Sky News, no menus or further choices, just what I asked for. Today, if I say the same, it does a search and shows me options to select various things that have been on Sky News. Anyone else seeing this or can explain to me what has changed?

I have 2 pucks and they are working like the Glass used to.

Hi @groupcaptain

Given we are fellow customers no one can give detailed updates but yes it's likely an update that has changed the behaviour. You can compare the UI version number and software version number of your glass and pucks. The easy way is to say "go to channel number xxx" so 501 for sky news.

@mikealanr Thanks. Your advice worked; however it is back to working as it used to so now simply saying "Sky News" goes straight to Sky News. The build and UI versions have not changed recently.
