Remove Channels (not from guide or contract)

liz1935 — Sun, 08 Jun 2025 13:06:13 GMT

I've a new SKY Q box, and was wondering if it would be possible to remove channels from use of the up/down buttons.

I don't want to remove them from the guide, I've done that in favourites.

I don't want to remove them from my contract because I'm on a basic plan.

I want to remove all the channels I never watch when I'm using the up/down buttons on the remote.

For example, I never watch channel 100, but I do watch channels 99 and 101. When I'm using the remote up/down buttons, I want to go directly from 99 to 101, bypassing 100.

Thanks.

No, that's not possible. Strangely enough, Sky would prefer to advertise what's available through increasing the subscription.

@liz1935

Your post has me somewhat confused. On Sky Q there isn't a channel 100 in the epg. The favourites run from 1 to 99 then the proper epg starts at 101 which is BBC One. Not sure if it's different if you're in the ROI though.

hi @liz1935

Do you have more than 90+ favourites ?

If you select your channels by using their favourite number then the up/ down arrows will take you between them just like thay are together in the Guide
