Access TV with Sky Q Remote

Rogostar — Tue, 02 May 2023 16:19:43 GMT

Hello there. How do I access the features on the smart TV with the sky q remote without having to use x 2 remote controls? I have paired the sky q remote in settings, but how do I now access the web features of the TV? Eg, pairing bluetooth headphones? There is nothing in the sky q box settings. Would like to escape having to live with x 2 remotes! Thank you.

Hi @Rogostar The only things that a Sky Q remote can control on your TV are volume, power and select input. Nothing else.

@RogostarUnfortunately the Sky controller will only control on/off and volume on your TV.

@Rogostar afraid you cannot all the Q remote will control on your TV is the sound volume and on/off and on some TV's the source

Hello, minor progress update. Ysing the TV remote, I have paired (after going through a million settings) the headphones. Thought for a moment I'd have to do that every time. Switching hphones reverts TV to normal speaker although it takes about 35 secs. But then I have to use the TV remote, access dashboard, re-select HDMI1 (sky q box). I am not finding any of this very smart!!! Help please 😢😢

Hi @Rogostar Select input, like HDMI 1. You will have to treat yourself to a universal remote if you want to only use one remote.

Not so fast. If I want to use the headphones, I have to use the TV remote, go into all the sound settings and re-pair them EVERY SINGLE TIME 😢😢😢 Only reason we got the TV was my partner was fed up with the old wired headphone cable. You know, the one you plug in & it works instantly!!!!
