Remote access from another property

fosvek — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 11:54:57 GMT

Hi, my elderly mother lives alone and struggles to see the remote and sometimes gets flustered, I have to travel 20 minutes to sort her tv out to the channel she wants. Is it possible for me to operate her sky q from my house? Saving me having to drive 3 or 4 times a day to sort her sky.

thanks

That's not possible directly: you'd need to work out something involving remote access to a device which is hosting a compatible remote control app (and probably a separate remote access camera so that you can see what's on the television screen)

hi @fosvek

It may not help much but there is an Accessibility remote which you may be able to get for free if you can register your Mother (note it is Infrared only and thus cannot use voice commands)
