Using the Sky Stream remote

Fleagle — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 11:09:41 GMT

Hi,

Just joined Sky from Virgin and it's proving a bit user unfriendly. Virgin remotes had a back button that allowed you to go back and forth between two channels - I couldn't get the back button on the Sky remote to do that - should it ?

Also, when I watch something and go into the tv guide the watched show goes into the little box in the corner - but as I skim through the channels I don't know how to go back to the show in the little box rather than the one one highlighted in the guide.

Sorry if these are daft questions and believe me I really hate to say it but Virgin's remote was so much easier to deal with although Sky is new to me.

Thanks all.

hi @Fleagle

there is now ay to go back and forth between two channels other than pressing the home button and swapping between both channels as they appear in the top rail of most recently watched channels / apps

The only way to go back to the channel thats showing in the "mini box" is to press the home button and select it from the top rail (where it will helpfully still be playing)

So frustrating - Surely someone at Sky wouldv'e considered this. Thanks for your reply.
